I’ve just started screwing around with this thing, and I am now realizing that I am confused. Anyone have any good tips for where I can figure out how best to use this? Books, websites, etc? Also, which maps would be best for me to download? I am wanting to use this for navigation in my day to day life, and to explore the mountains in my Jeep and go camping, hiking, etc. Thanks!
The battery contact can be removed the one which connects the batteries together
I am thinking about getting a Garmin eTrex vista to help keep me on track for off road fell or trail running. Has anyone tried this? If so, would you recommend it, if not, why not?
I try to log into Garmin connect, and it logs me in, but when it goes to the next page, it closes my window.
I recently got this GPS, used, from a friend who doesn’t want it anymore.
It has the car charger, but no house charger. It does, however, have a mini-USB port on it. Will this device charge off of USB like many cell phones do?
Or do I have to somehow buy a house charger?
I think it’s showing me the total increase in altitude, but what I want is all the little increases in altitude totaled up. So for example if I started at 6,000 feet, went up to 6,800, then back to down to 6,000, and back up to 7,000. I think it’s showing me 1,000 (summit-base), not the total climbing (which would be 1,800)?
Does anyone know the difference performance-wise between these 2 models? I have seen a comparison chart but I couldn’t find anything that would explain the price difference…
I am looking for a handheld GPS unit that would load topographical maps on it (for hiking).
Any recommendation would be much appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
