Thanks for your response Piper. I read those sites you listed and am still a little confused. Based on what you posted below, if I had a chunk of Dronino in my hand, I could say it has a Nickel content of either 98.1%, 10.8% or 9.8%...I guess which one is dependent upon what part of the

Hi List! What is a good dual-purpose GPS? I want something that has loaded Topo maps for prospecting/hiking use and can be used handheld. I'd also like the ability to dash mount the same GPS and use it for city driving. Is there a good GPS like this that doesn't cost more than $200 or so,

Re: [meteorite-list] GPS

2009-04-19 Thread Chris Peterson
Hi Mike- I lean towards the opinion that using one GPS for both just compromises both functions, and doesn't, in the end, make anything simpler. Automotive GPS units are optimized for a large display, a specialized antenna, street-level maps, and road-oriented navigation. Hiking GPS units

Hi Folks! When I said city driving, I should have been more specific. I don't need turn by turn routing and voice prompts. I just need something to help me find my way back to the nearest highway if I get lost down a dirt road or a BLM area. And I won't be doing any polling or linking up to

All the Rino units save for the 110(which still has the world wide city database) have base street maps installed and the 130 and 130/530 have both altimeters and have a GPS based compass. One more reason I like Rino is many first responders have then and one never knows when that would assist

Hi Peter: It used to be that you couldn't accidentally list the same thing twice. Then eBay made it very easy to do so. (You'll still probably get stuck paying the listing fees if you cancel). If you have another item your're listing, you can revise the auction with the new information.
