Thread: What percentage?

I use a Magellan with inbuilt digital maps to navigate where does that fit?

Doesn't count. Only looking for computer-based mapping like Oziexplorer, Memory-Map, Trackranger.

I'm not sure what GPSR is?

My GPS has a screen on it and the map moves, but it does not require a laptop.

GPSR = Global Positioning System Receiver.

If it was plain GPSRs it'd be around 80% I reckon, but the computer-based systems would be lower. Things like PDAs, laptops.

Hi Robert.

I think it is a popular idea but lots of us just can't get our head around some of it and I know lots of people like me who would love it but just can't sit at a computer and work it out. Just setting up my blue tooth dongle was a pain and I have a good understanding of computers but when it gets in to changing port numbers and that sort of business it is to difficult. And if something went wrong in the field...well... I'd be stuffed.

Also, the set up cost and space. That's a big one. If I had 3 or 4 grand then maybe I'd consider it but I have to spend money on other things before moving maps. And I could do it cheaper but I think it is sort of like I'd only do it if I did it right.

P.s. I do have a palm pilot which I play around with it on but it has its limits.

Out of the 40 or so I 4wd with they all run mapping software either on Laptop, PDA or in car PC..

We're just tech *******...

Exactly right NM. All it takes is a bit of patience and logic. Plenty of support in places like this very forum.

I've rigged up my Sony PSP, with google maps and a Holux GPSlim 236.

Works a treat.
