Title: Re: what is the best GPS setup Post by: GSPKurt on October 16, 2005, 08:18:30 PM Yeah, that's a good thread. I recommend Garmin. The eTrex VentureC or 76cs and a RAM handlebar mount. Don't forget the 12v. adapter to save batteries. :ThumbsUp.gif
Title: Re: what is the best GPS setup Post by: BreathlessPerformance on October 16, 2005, 09:15:12 PM I was thinking of the 276C for the larger screen.
Ernie Title: Re: what is the best GPS setup Post by: GSPKurt on October 16, 2005, 10:17:46 PM That's an excellent choice, but pricey. Do you think it might be a little too big? I've got a eTrex Vista and a 176c, and use the Vista for the quad and hunting, the 176c for the boat and vehicle.

I have it with a RAM mount on my handle bars and it is the best GPS I have ever owned. You can't beat the bright color screen and the rechargeable battery lasts 12+ hours on one charge. I purchased addition memory cards and have the topo software with detailed trails of ONF, Big Cypress and more.

Use it in my truck, boat, atv, hunting, anywhere needed. Lots of internal memory and somewhat small. 125mb memory and runs 30 hrs continuous on 2 aaa batteries, and it floats.

Got 1 for RR??? ;D Title: Re: what is the best GPS setup Post by: Moose on October 18, 2005, 04:46:11 PM No, the software is for the National Forrests and Parks only. I'm trying to make a map using my gps and all the crumb trails. Will try to put them all together for a map, we'll see.
Title: Re: what is the best GPS setup Post by: backinsaddle on October 18, 2005, 04:56:17 PM Gotta agree with the group...the 276c. A bit big for my sport bike, so I bought the 76cs. basically the same machine, but smaller screen/total size.
I went with a touratech mount rather than the ram mount most people use which you can find here: http://www.cycoactive.com/gps/gps_mounts.html Title: Re: what is the best GPS setup Post by: o4250 on October 18, 2005, 05:06:16 PM Get a cheap-o
