GPS Receivers
I picked up a Magellan Meridian Gold in March of 2005.
Found The Yahoo Group Forum
listed below which taught me more about
the unit than the store where I purchased it did!!!
I'm using
a 1gig SD card that has all of Canada as one map.
I'm used my old computer (PIV
1.3mhz 768mg ram) to build 250meg
USA regional maps.
Currently the USA is split into 4 regions, East, Central,
West & Texas
East coverage overlaps Central Coverage & West overlaps Central Coverage
Texas is large enough for a solo map with overlap in West & Central Regions
The primary
use for my Meridian Gold is as a navigational
tool when
travelling by motorcycle.
I have a RAM
Mount & utilize a 12 volt
power supply to save battery life & expense.
Thales Navigation
in it's infinite wisdom has decided to discontinue the
Meridian series. Direct Route V3 has been released for atorouting purposes
Garmin
GPSMap60Cx
Picked up a Garmin
60Cx for this summers' touring season on the bike and
have been trying to get familiar with the unit. I'm using City Navigator V7
on
a 512meg microSD card. The 60Cx has two features I want/need, expandable
memory & autorouting. This unit also utilizes a Ram
Mount and a 12 volt
power supply on the bike
