looking for a good hand held GPS
"Scotty" wrote in message
news  On another list I'm on,whenever that question comes up ( about every 4th month) most votes go to the Garmin 76c, or 76 CS mapping. Personally, I'm still using the little Magellan 100 that Cadillac gave out for free about 10 years ago. Scotty "Scout" wrote in message . .. At this point, I'm still using my old Garmin III Plus. I'm looking to stay with hand held but don't really know how the technology has changed in the last few years (I've had this about 5 years). I love the fact that I can map out a route on the computer and upload/download waypoints, tracks, and routes from and to my computer. I'd like a slightly bigger, color screen. Can anyone recommend a good unit under $1000? Must be able to plan trips with computer and save logs of trips. TIA Scout I'd have to second that on the 76 series. I've used them, but I still own and use my 12xl. Don't need no stinkin mappin. :-) -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

I still have the GPS 12 with the 12 satellite capability. I gave the older model with the 6 satellite capability to a friend. The old model took a week to lock on. Real manly men don't need maps. I also have a Garmin etrex and edge 205. No maps there either! None of my GPS units have mapping capability. |

Are you a pirate? Cheap is small and not too steep But best of all cheap is cheap Circumstance has forced my hand To be a cut price person in a low budget land Times are hard but well all survive I just got to learn to economize Excuse my shoes they dont quite fit Theyre a special offer and they hurt me a bit Even my trousers are giving me pain They were reduced in a sale so I shouldnt complain They squeeze me so tight so I cant take no more Theyre size 28 but I take 34 Im shopping at woolworth and low discount stores Im dropping my standards so that I can buy more [quality costs, but quality wastes, So Im giving up all of my expensive tastes. Caviar and champagne are definite nos, Im acquiring a taste for brown ale and cod roes ] Low budget sure keeps me on my toes I count every penny and I watch where it goes Were all on our uppers were all going skint I used to smoke cigars but now I suck polo mints Art takes time, time is money Moneys scarce and that aint funny Millionaires are things of the past Were in a low budget film where nothing can last Moneys rare theres none to be found So dont think Im tight if I dont buy a round Ray |
