Date: Tue, 08 Aug 2000 14:28:10 GMT From: "Eugene Hsu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: GPS Thanks I must give my great thanks. I really appreciate how great the Libretto newsgroup is. There are so many qualified individuals here who have experimented with the different technologies. >From the current discussions, the Etrex seems to be a great little unit, and far cheaper than the Emap that I was looking at. I however found a great deal on the Earthmate Road Warrior ($148.00 with $5.00 shipping) on an auction site. It's new, and it will also interface with both my PC and a Palm device. The only problem is that I lost my Palm IIIxe last Sunday. 8( I will wait to replace the Palm, but I definitely need the GPS. I still also need to buy a good auto adapter and new battery for the L70CT. Does anyone have suggestions on the best one (perhaps with fuses or better voltage regulation)? For the price it will work well with the Libretto, and since I have an extra full-docking station, I am thinking of permanantly mounting the docking station and the GPS to either my dash or a lap board (as mentioned here). The overall cost should be about $250-$275 for the parts (power adapters and such), but it also includes the Palm software and cable. The Etrex is small and neat, so if I lose this bid, I think I will try and get one of those. Otherwise the Road Warrior package will meet my needs. Has anyone dealt on Ebay with the fellow selling (he has been selling tons of) Libretto spare parts from Albany, NY? Does Toshiba actually still make batteries, or are those being sold a year old already? -Eugene- ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------UNSUBSCRIBE------- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe --------UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST------ Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **************************************************************
