![]() Once again sorry for the billion questions. With out sacerficing screen detail is there any other models that may suit me better for the price range? ![]() Is there a place that you suggest I can get one at a good price but will still work in Western Samoa and Australia in reguard to maps (also taking into consideration Australia and Samoa is 240V AC power)? Is there much advantege between the 450 and 450t for the price? As in, are there even any topo maps for western Samoa? As Samoa is in the Pacific is there a version that I need to get in reguard to the map coverage etc? Im not too concerned about it having games and such as its just for me. But is the custom maps really that good and completly free as they sound? Could you explain a little on that please. I enjoy locating caves and old ruins and therfore love the idea of overlaying google maps or scaned paper maps to the hand held unit. Sorry to bother you with stupid questions but Im finding it really difficult knowing what to get.Im from Australia but am and will be living in Western Samoa for a number of years. Thank you for an extremely useful and interesting site. The only improvements I could have wished for would have been larger tracklog storage and better reception my Nokia N86 is fantastic although of course it is using network assisted data. Unlike the Forerunner series it also records as soon as it is switched on… The Geko was almost ideal in every way, it was small, light, could use AAA rechargeable batteries, and waterproof (at least when new!). I used the Geko primarily for tracklog recording to tag photographs with gps data, and it’s my understanding that some units don’t save the timestamp with lat/lon rendering the data useless for that purpose. Previously I had subjected it to a “dunking” when I made an unscheduled dismount while jet-skiing 2 years ago, but either I was in the water too long this time or perhaps the battery cover seal had become worn. I recently drowned my 3 year old Geko 201 while snorkelling in Cuba, and I’m looking for a replacement. You can transfer waypoints, tracks, routes and geocache summaries (paperless caching details cannot be transferred). Miscellaneous – Wireless data refers to these unit’s ability to transfer data wirelessly with other compatible Garmin units.Waypoints/Routes and Trackpoints/Tracks – The numbers listed are the number of waypoints and routes that can be saved, followed by the tracklog capacity and number of tracks that can be saved.Turn by turn – These units can give turn-by-turn highway directions when the proper maps (usually City Navigator) are added, making them effective dual-use units.Paperless geocaching – These units will display the full geocache description, cache size, difficulty and terrain ratings, and recent logs.Units listed as auto generally do not need calibration. A two-axis compass must be held level a three-axis (AKA tri-axial) compass does not need to be held level, but is more of a pain to calibrate. You can read more about electronic compasses here. Electronic compass – These units also have a barometric altimeter. ![]()
