  1. Gps Wanted With Topo Maps?

    in GPS and Navigation

    Posted

    I'm wondering if they had their uhf power on .5w.

    Duncs you've been complaining about this noise now for three years, this year at the gatta your going to let me hear this noise. beep

    The rinos update when you talk not at random minute intervals. beep

    I'm with gibbo as well, the rechargeable rino batterie will last a weekend of hunting and longer. My 62s would get one day from two double A batteries if I was lucky

    Can of worms here, just get a rino 650 and them buy topo maps off eBay, people who use them rave about them, I'm one two.

    The minions who don't have the rino complain about them.

    The rino uses the same interface as the 62s but way better. I do own both units and rino wins

    And wait till the rino goes on special at 2for1 deal of $600 and get other mate to go halves

    In high school, the metal work class/teacher would let students make " letter openers". Some " letter openers" were about that size and bigger

    I'm wondering if it's a high school project some years back, might explain the rust by using lower grade metals

    Yep I'm with the gopro, about $800 tho, that's. Getting other mounts and batteries sd card, etc

    Mines mounted with the bull bar mount to scope. Most places will sell accessories for gopro, other cameras will be hit and miss.

    Other good point to look at, what are other people around you using. Ie if battery's flat, use some ones charger

    Rhino 650. Pin points your mates on the map as well, UHF as well. What ever you get in a gps, make sure it can run the topo maps.

    I also have the garman 62s like gafloss. The rhino is the same plus more. Both great units, I find the 62s runs two batteries for a day and the rhino uses rechargables which last two days

  18. Which Handheld Gps Unit?

    I had one of the little Garmin eTrex units for a few years & it was great for finding your way back to camp or to the car but it didn't have maps.

    I upgraded late last year to the Garmin GPSMAP 62s - a great unit with heaps of functions.

    Just need to find a good pouch that fits it well - has anyone found one other than the standard black with clear plastic front??

    Mine came with a clip. I clip it to my SamHuntVic back pack just below the shoulder.

    I've got the garman 62s, great. You need the topo maps.

    I recommend the rino 650, yes expensive but if the other people you go hunting with have one, it shows you where they are. Very useful. These take the topo maps aswell, I will get one, one day.

    eBay is the place to get these. They do pop up around the $400 but got to wait otherwise between $500-$600

    Name someone who had been bittern by a snake, when you have been their or family member so it's first or second hand seeing/ hearing it. My opinion being bitten by a snake in the bush is very slim, last summer was the most snakes I've seen, over 40, hunting and trout fishing in shorts and sandles so I got samhunt gators just in case, like I said earlier being bittern by a snake in my opinion is slim
