Hey I think we should change the date of the cache bash, I'm all for being outside but it is going to be dangerously cold out tomorrow (windchill -40). Also, I doubt many people will show up tomorrow.
Wasn't that bad out... I wandered around for a while.. even managed to look for the medallion as I was caching.. so far I'm not sure it's at Mounds....
My buddy is looking for a GPS that he can use for both geocaching and driving. He'd like to spend around 200 if possible but understands that might not be realistic because he would like a color screen. Do you guys have any suggestions I could pass on to him?
I use the Garmin Legend cx with city navigator. Works well for me. Has turn by turn, but costs more than $200. The new on is the Legend HCX. Be careful that he gets one that includes the city navigator program or he will have to but it seperatly. Garmin has a good site to check out the different models etc. http://www.garmin.com
The navigator pack shown in this link is what I got when I bought mine. It includes the software, a usb cable for the computer, a power cable for the car and the unit. I think it's a good deal for $279
It's hard to say these days. There aren't a lot of crossover GPSrs that work well for car navigation and out on the trail. The boom lately has been in the car navigator department, and if someone unfamiliar to geocaching looks at one of them, they might think that's how all GPSrs work.
I guess it would be good to ask him how much he plans on using the GPS for either activity. If he's using it mainly in the car, with the occasional geocache, something more tailored to a car would be his best option. If it's the reverse, I would go along with 3M's suggestion.
I use the garmin Legend HCX, upgraded awhile back from the plain old legend (b&w) model. This works really well for what I use it for, mostly geocaching, but it has come in real handy on the way to various job sites, and the navigation works pretty well.
The HCX has a seperate memory card that will allow storage of more maps so road trips work out really well. Old version would only allow me to load about half the state of MN with the roads. New one, allowed a trip from Hendersonville, NC all the way up to Minneapolis, with all roads loaded in.
The car specific ones I beleve some models will "talk" to you and tell you when your turn is coming up, the gpsr I use beeps at ya, and when you miss that turn it gets pissed.
Anyway, what KC0GRN said, what is their main use, and what Mikey said, be careful when it comes to the software. There are some websites that have pretty good deals, the GPS Store which also has a lot of different models. Check the manufacture websites Garmin for instance to double check compatibility of mapping software with the various units.
I see the TV ads with the cars with the audio GPS systems and think I'd really like that. Then I come back to reality and remember I don't go anywhere other than places I know how to get to, It would be pretty cool though. Maybe I'll give up the GPS and get a moon roof instead. :smile:
What did you think I was talking about? :sheepish:

And DO NOT buy the software on ebay. The software has to be activated for your personal GPS unit. It can't be used on any other units.
I've heard stories of people buying software only to find out the activation code is no good.

Or to guide intercontinental ballistic missiles. It is a military system afterall...
To explore strange new worlds! To seek out new life and new civilizations! To boldly go where no OT has ever gone before! :grin:
And not only that. You've just named my next car. :wink:
