I wish someone would bring me a new GPS, was it free for nothing?

Mind you, I do like my Oregon.

Is that the Bluetooth Unit?
What unit are you going to use it with?

[frosty68]

I'm not posh enough for an Oregon...I'm hoping this is a step in the right direction, a bit better than phone-alone :)

Yep, its a portable blue tooth GPs unit - I bought this very model on "Amazon" after Dr Dick gave a tutorial about them - blue tooth to mobile phone and "enable" the mock GPS signal after disabling the phone's GPS unit - saves battery by not using the phone's built in GPS and is more accurate using more satellites ! useful for ad hoc caching when out shopping with "she who must be obeyed" ""

oops, sorry, I'd missed the question.
only a tenner on ebay, plan on using it with my htc desire and c:geo...if the weather becomes a little less miserable :)

You did well - mine cost £30.00 !! - works ok but could not thread a lanyard through the little tiny hole ! I bought some sticky velcro and now have it hanging from the strap of phone lanyard

stick it in your pocket Paul, that's where I carry my CoPilot one and get around +/-3mtrs all the time

Ditto that. I use the copilot mini for phone caching but the proper GPSr for a whole day out.

[DrDick&Vick]

Phone and CoPilot for impromptu caching only, don't always carry the GPS but always have the phone.

Thanks Richard - I wasn't sure if it would work properly if stuck in pocket !
