the_patman Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Here's the deal. I'm in the market for a GPS unit, but I'm not sure which one would best suit my needs. For one, I plan to do some Geocaching. So my unit will need to be fairly rugged and waterproof. A screen that's fairly easy to read would be nice. I also do a lot of driving. I would like a GPS that, when connected to my laptop, would show my position on an onscreen map on the laptop. Large enough that I can see at a glance while driving. Does anyone have recommendations? Is there a unit that can do these features for a good price? Quote Link to comment
umc Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Most units out now a days can do the things you mentioned. The important thing is to know what your price range is. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Not so sure, Somewhat new Owner Of a Garmin GPS V Received on 10-03-02 Quote Link to comment
the_patman Posted November 19, 2002 Author Share Posted November 19, 2002 I'd like to stay sub-200 if I could, but even that is flexible. Quote Link to comment
clps Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Here's one that fits the bill perfectly ...and it's only $199.95 Quote Link to comment
+ZachNLiam Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Hey, you better be careful. Your sub-200 dollar gps screen looks a lot like the Magellan map screens. About the same resolution anyway. You might have a copyright infringement problem. No, wait a minute... Yours is definitely higher resolution. You're safe. Randy Quote Link to comment

Also research Magellan's sport Trac series, these are also excellent units. Quote Link to comment
