Hi hcaver,
I don't know which canyon you're entering, but most canyons are narrow with high walls. Therefore, the chance of the GPS seeing sufficient satellites is about zero {and this is with the...

On my original etrex, the rating did NOT apply to the battery compartment. If that is the case with yours, you may want to remove the batteries efore entering the canyon, and a means of drying the...

Hi mihermano,
I haven't tried the Route66 app but, like you, I am not convinced of the sensitivity of the GPSr on my Android tablet. In truth it's not too bad, but I wondered if there is better.

Hi sharkcaver,
I only use multiple calibration points on paper maps that I have scanned and zipped. Otherwise, two point calibration is fine.

Hi Sharkcaver,
I've never had an issue with Oziexplorer ".maps". Are you sure that they are compatible with your map set?

Hi Don,
Retrofittable SSDs are available. However, I don't know how simple they are to fit.

I was looking at fitting an SSD, but in the end was swayed by a tablet pc running Android, as Ozi now...

Hi Nicko,
I'm sorry, but you seem to have made your decision on a "one point, one time" test. :clap I must admit that I expected more of you than that.

Not very objective.:thumbsdwn

Hi anemae,
I can understand your frustration after your Binatone experience, but think that you are overreacting.

There are a number of reputable overseas manufacturers with good support in Oz. I...

Hey Mods,
How about picking up Nicko on his rant.:dober ;)

Hi asp,
I think that your Garmin topo LICENCE is tied to a single unit and cannot be used on another GPS.

Hi gg,
Technically, Yes!

Depending on the sampling speed of the GPS, as you travel through a bend, the GPS will work out the distance you have travelled in a straight line ie. not following the...

Hi Nicko,
No mention of TwoNav anywhere in my post. ;)

What I was saying is that OziExplorer for Android is not a full version of OziExplorer.

HTH,

Nicko said "The issue is that Android cannot utilise .ECW thus need to convert to a format that does by utilising CompeGPS Land which is RMap which we have."

Hi Nicko,
I don't know which version...

You might find that a screen protector will change the screen reflectivity.

Hi Cruiser,
Why are you stuffing around with 2Nav?

From your maps, it would seem that you are already familiar with OziExplorer. Isn't there an Ozi app that will work for you? If not, get an...

Hi Michael,
IIRC, neither QLD nor TAS use DST. If, so Hobart is correct and Brisbane is not. :lol2

EDIT: Oops, I later remembered that TAS does use DST.

Hi Pipe40, and welcome,
The only thing I can imagine is that you may have the "Avoidances" set incorrectly. I generally have mine set as:
U-Turns - Avoid
Motorways - Don't Avoid
Toll Roads -...

Hi photohiker,
I find that if I click "View first unread" again, when at the top of the correct page it will take me to that post.

The only hesitation I would have in using a laptop in this application is the HDD. Will it be able to withstand heavy seas? Given a choice, I would use a SSD.

Hi seaeagle,
Welcome!

I don't know if I'll help you, or make things more confusing. :(

I don't have the Garmin 1490, but rather a Garmin nuvi 5000 with the Garmin topo maps loaded. For this...
