Gpsr "profiles"

[+The Wildleys]

Are there any GPSrs that offer "profiles"? I'd like a quick (one-button) way to be able to switch between, for example, "Car", "Caching", and "Hiking" profiles, with settings such as:

 

Car

- Miles and mph for distance and speed;

- OS grid references (British National Grid) for coordinates.

 

Caching

- Kilometres and kph for distance and speed;

- WGS84 lat/long for coordinates.

 

Hiking

- Kilometres and kph for distance and speed;

- OS grid references (British National Grid) for coordinates.

 

Even just two profiles would be fine: I could live without the "Caching" hybrid profile.

 

Thanks!

I've suggested to Magellan that they provide a means to save settings to the SD card in the Meridian line. What I had in mind was a way to easily restore settings after any time one had to clear memory (e.g., a firmware upgrade). If there was a way to name the saved settings, that would lend itself to your notion of profiles (which sounds like an excellent idea).

 

But as far as I know, nothing like this is available now (on Magellans, anyway).
