+charlieboyo Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 (edited) Hi, i recently bought a Magellan Blazer 12 on ebay with a view to using it for geocaching. Will it do the job? regards, Charles Edited February 2, 2004 by charlieboyo Quote Link to comment
Navi-Gator Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I bought my Blazer 12 back in the 1990s (when SA made accuracy questions less relevant). When I started geocaching with it I found that the lack of a third digit in Lat/Lon limited my ability to find well-hidden caches. I switched to using UTM and it worked pretty well. If you don't mind the limitations of hand entering every waypoint and lack of computer connectivity, it will work fine. If you find you really enjoy the sport, you can always get something more modern in the future (and probably get your money back selling the Blazer on eBay again). I just got a Meridian Gold and it certainly is easier and faster to use. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I cache with people who have the older GPS's and they do fine. My observations are in line with what Navi-Gator has just said. Quote Link to comment
