Hi,
There is software that will do what you want running under Windows. Gpsu from www.gpsu.co.uk is an example. Another possibility would be to display the route using an office calc program though t ...

Hi,
I have hesitated from offering an explanation because I'm unsure of what you are seeking. It rather reminds me of the old joke where little Johnny arrives home from school and asks his mother whe ...

Just to add a few additional comments to those of Robertn.
The accuracy of the device will be the same as for other consumer handheld devices. This will be +- 15 metres although most reading will be ...

Hi,
You certainly can enter NGR's into Garmin Etrex. You can either do it directly into the GPS or through software on a PC. The latter is particularly useful if you want to enter a large number of l ...

Hi,
Your complaint must top the list of Garmin irritants. The Etrex logic is that you want to travel from A to Z. You may enter B, C, D etc to help you on your way. But if, say, when reach E you pass ...

Hi,
Don't have a Foretrex 201 but looking at the manual indicates that it only a RS232 serial connection. Your mention of a the 9 pin plug confirms this. RS232 serial connections was routinely suppli ...

That's me confused.
I had an Etrex and now use a Geko 201. Both have the same problem that on a circular walk you are taken directly to the finish point with all the intermediate points ignored. Lik ...

Hi,
Your problem is unusual. Normally the complaint is just the opposite: the GPS jumps to the another waypoint before reaching the "current" one. Just to be quite clear, you have assembled a number ...

Steve,
If you want to enter more than the odd location, consider using GPSU - www.gpsu.co.uk - to enter the data and then upload it to the Geko.

Hi Steve,
Have used a Geko 201 for sometime. Never come across a tutorial apart from the manual. Do you have specific problems that are unclear or not covered in the Geko manual?

Although I first thought that some of my height errors were due to a few rogue readings (and I'm sure that they sometimes are) I now accept that it was just the GPS drifting. Some early reading do ten ...

Hi,
Additional comments.
Taking the height data and increasing the ascent every time a reading was higher than the previous one, I got a total of 3600 ft - the same as GPSU. There were no unusually ...

Hi,
Just remembered, Anquet does not get height ascended by taking the GPS heights. It does it from it's own contours. The height and distance travelled is only obtained when a track is plotted and h ...

Hi,
Yes, I can understand that you don't want to invest in another lot of mapping software. I suppose that you have carefully serch to see if there is some obscurely named MM tool that gives the info ...

Hi,
One problem seems to be one of deciding how the software interprets the data collected. I have been mulling over a walk I did this week in the Welsh borders. Importing the track log into Anquet M ...
