+georgeandmary Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 Well, since this is about the umpteenth time these gps have been mentioned on the forum, I thought this photo would make a good caption contest photo.... Who can come up with the best caption.. "Mine says is 3.5 cm that way." george Pedal until your legs cramp up and then pedal some more. Quote
+misguided one Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 Don't you just hate it when you get all dressed up in your fancy GPS garb, and someone shows up at the event cache wearing the exact same model. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

RIGHT PERSON: ...to try out the new homemade external antenna for the eTrex? Yup. 3) LEFT PERSON: All this, and I still have trouble finding micro caches in ivy. 4) LEFT PERSON: $50,000 and still accuracy to 18 feet is the best we get. 5) LEFT PERSON: Y'know, I had no idea, when I started 30 years ago, that selling seeds from that company advertising in the back of the comic books would get me such a nice prise! 6) LEFT PERSON: We'd find the fugitive.... RIGHT PERSON: ...if only they'd advertise their latitude and longitude to us. 7) LEFT PERSON: Umm... I don't think these are the babe magnets that the advertisement in "GPSr and Cacher" made them out to be... Quote

+st_richardson Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 No, you're off by 0.0000001 degrees.$50,000 and you think they would at least put a compass in it.I beat a Vista and 2 other GPSr owners to the cache. Now if they would just add a radio we could blow away all the Rino owners, also.Did yours come with the maps, also?I got mine on Ebay for just $40,000.If you hold the button down on the left while turning on it on, you enter the diagnostic mode.They just released version 3.11. It adds 5000 more waypoints.Look what happens when I lean to the left.OK, it's your turn to hide the quarter. Quote
