Z15 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 (edited) I just got a new ATV, a 2005 Honda Rancher 4x4 AT with built in GPSr calle d GPScape. Does anyone here have one also? I have not had the chance to get out and try it as the snow it still too deep to get in the trails and woods. Edited April 5, 2005 by Z15 Quote Link to comment
+IVxIV Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Sweet! I've been surprised it's taken so long for ATV manufacturers to make a GPSr a builtin feature on and ATVs instrument package. Same for snowmobiles, it just seems a natural fit. So, what can it do? Just marks your trail travelled? Can you enter co-ordinates into it? Quote Link to comment
Z15 Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 It can do anything a GPSr can do, stores 100 waypoints, let you input Lat and Lon etc. Only thing the display is not as extensive as a handheld. No sky maps, land maps etc. It more geared to getting you there and back without being lost. I have no really got into a lot, just skimmed over the guide. Quote Link to comment
+Team Scrappy Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I have an 04 Rincon GPScape. The GPS is ok but lacks a lot of features. I wish it had a serial port on it as well. On long ATV trips I usually bring my 60CS. Quote Link to comment
Overland1 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I wonder why Honda did not include a mapping GPS system in the GoldWing motorcycle. They offer it in their cars and truck (Ridgeline?), as well as their ATV's; why not on their flagship touring motorcycle? Quote Link to comment
Z15 Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) Where would they put it? Just joking, a coworker had a GW and there was so much stuff on that bike we called it the "garbage truck". Every access. they made he had. Just playing with my GPScape yesterday I can see it won't replace my Gramin GPS V by along shot. But I am glad I bought it with that given that it was the only Rancher the dealer had out of a 100 that had the GPS, + $100 rebate on GPScape 4x4 Rancher. If the batteries go dead in my V and Vista, I can still find my way back to my truck. The Rincon, it that the 600cc+-? I looked at 2005 that had a new 650cc engine. It was black and nice but more machine than I needed for my 500-1000 mile a year use. The dealer is a friend and he told me that he ordered 500 ATV's and almost half are sold since early March. Rancher is 400cc for '05. Edited April 7, 2005 by Z15 Quote Link to comment
BC3 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Honda also offers this on their PWCs. Great feature for large lakes! http://powersports.honda.com/watercraft/mo...delId=ARX12T3D5 Quote Link to comment
