tholt4 Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Well, anybody surpised or disappointed? Quote Link to comment
+Cache Viking Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Nothing I asked for but I did get a Delorme Blue Logger GPS for my Pocket PC with Bluetooth. Also got USA Street Atlas 2005 for PC and another for Handheld. Seems to work well here at the desk. Will not make a caching unit but should work nice in the car, especially for kids in back seat to use. So no not disappointed ... still waiting to see if the V will be ever replaced by something new.

Hinge Thunder Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 I got a Garmin V with the City Select CD and unlock. Unfortunatly the GPS is missing a small spring battery connector form the battery compartment so it is is non-functional. Don't know how long it will take to get the unit up. Quote Link to comment

roscoe615 Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I got a new Legend!... can I now say I'm obsessed? Hope that this thing won't require a Doctorate to operate! Quote Link to comment
+horsegeeks Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I got a new Legend!... can I now say I'm obsessed? Hope that this thing won't require a Doctorate to operate! The user manuals aren't much. We learned more from the instructional videos for the Legend and the 60C. Good luck and happy caching Quote Link to comment

Neo_Geo Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I got a new Legend!... can I now say I'm obsessed? Hope that this thing won't require a Doctorate to operate! The best way to learn is by playing with it - read the manual a little - and then play with it some more. It's a very intuitive device to use once you get familiar with it. Quote Link to comment
+Blind Avocado Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I didn't get a GPSr but I did get an auto nav kit for my 60c! Score! Santa was nice to me! Quote Link to comment

+robert Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I got a new Legend!... can I now say I'm obsessed? Hope that this thing won't require a Doctorate to operate! Best way to learn it is to take it out and use it. Go out into your front yard. Let the GPS get some good signal. Mark your spot as a waypoint, walk down the block. Do a GOTO back to the waypoint you made a bit ago. That's about it. Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Forerunner 201 with bicycle mount. Now I can use it when out running and riding my bike Quote Link to comment

+Nut N' Honey Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 My wife surprized me nig time with a Garmin iQue 3600. Now if I could just figure out a short cut method of getting cache waypoints into it I'd be a happy happy geocacher. Quote Link to comment
Overland1 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I didn't get a new GPS for Christmas, but will have a new GPS system this week in the new Jeep. It is part of a lot of options included in a Grand Cherokee that I got a decent deal on. This makes four GPS's in the family.... my wife has one in her Jeep, and I have a Vista; we also have a DeLorme GPS to use with a laptop, although that one will probably get less use now.
