Dont know who disliked, fools!! Have you worked out a way thats on the cheapish side of connecting to your pc?? Many thanks

[gmanlondon]

Will this give you an OS Grid reference and can you put OS Grids in to it? Sorry if it's obvious, have never used any handheld gps.

[40hotpoint]

Thanks for this. The instructions supplied were rubbish. I use this when I go out in my Kayak thanks to you. I salute you sir!!

[darrengaudry]

[driftkinguk26]

Great video tutorial i have just bought one of these but it has no instruction manual, so this was a help indeed, i have just one question, how do you add grid coordinates to it, ?

If you could do a quick video i would be very very greatful

Longatitude/latitude etc

[Calciumsulfat]

have you the cable for connect with pc??

[cstewart1371]

thank you for the video

[nlcsmvp96]

So to mark your current location, you just go to MARK, identify a name for the waypoint ("001" in this video), and hit "OK" ? 

[flamieuk]

@nlcsmvp96 yes thats right, i have this gps and its brilliant for trails and marking waypoints. i find it super accurate even under tree cover. if you want to spend a little more go for the Etrex Venture HC for actual maps and colour

[OutsideTheEdge]

[jayhannah2011]

can u take a Grid References and Bearing on it

[TheKappe]

Sorry to ask, I am going to buy a GPS soon to go out on MTB and think about xTrex H: can I upload a track on it (the oner I find in blogs (es: file.gpx)) from computer to this GPS and then is it going to guide me through it?

Thank you!

[turftamper]

Great video. I'm new to using a gps so I have a basic question. Can I get a hand held gps that I can load a hiking trail and be guided just like a car model driving through a city? Most hand helds iv seen just show a straight line from point to point not the path to take. Thank you for your time.

[1521joe]

hi

i noticed this unit has a max speed function.

so, if i were to drive in a car, or strap this onto a bike, it will give me my max speed i have drived or max speed i have peddled?

thanks

[wxpm]

@1521joe yes it will , while you are moving it will show your current speed and store your max speed , average speed and distance / time traveled which can all be reset to zero

[1521joe]

@wxpm

sincere thanks for the info

i appreciate it.

[TheVittleVlog]

Great vid!

[m70c00l]

is there a limit to how far away a way point can be, like if i enter a way-point at a place thats 1 1/2 hours away from my house, if i go back to my house will it show me on the compass were that waypoint is even though its so for away

[wxpm]

@m70c00l yes it will , you can mark a waypoint or enter coordinates for any location

[nosrednugj]

@m70c00l If you're in Seattle, and you enter a waypoint in Miami, it will show you where the waypoint is. The compass works, and it will tell you the distance. It will also tell you how long it will take to get there at your current rate of speed.

[NOTAFULLUN]

Superb review. Shows you in a clear concise, manner just what you need to know about this handy unit. Thanks for this video.

[johnrson]

I ordered this one today,it will be my first GPS experience.I really appreciate FuturelsNigh posting this video.I'm off to a good start in learning how to hike with it.

[0nthecase]

Great video...very cool little device - After getting lost in the Wicklow Mountains today due to my iPhone app losing the satellite - Will be treating myself to this next week. Thanks for the video!

[fortunatebyword44]

I'm in the market for a handheld, saw some good articles on gpssatnavreviews (.) com

[TheSoulessLegend]

thank you so much my brother got his in like 2003 and i just found it and now i know how to use it :)

[westernhunter38]

@TheSoulessLegend I got mine in 1999 and in 2003 I removed the batteries and tucked the GPS away in my closet. Not sure why I stopped using it. Dug it out last night and put fresh batteries in it. Having not been turned on for 8 years it took about 1.5 hrs for it to initialize and get satellite signals. First introduced in 1998, not many electronic devices remain on the market unchanged after 13 yrs. The fact that this exact unit is still being made & sold is a real testiment to it's design.
