Just like a woman, don't want the men to have a new electronic gadget.

Next you would want them all to stop and ask for directions.

Sheeesh.

I have a Garmin etrex vista. It is really simple to operate & you can DL topo maps, rivers & lakes, & metro maps from cd rom onto it.

I guess you never leave the safe embrace of town. Also, I guess you restrict your driving to the pleasant hours of 9-5.

Any good pilot uses all the tools available to stay safe and on track. Plus, we paid for the GPS satellites, why not get some use out of them?

Men dont need a map, we always know where everything is.

Friend of mine just got an eTrex Legend CX. Very nice. Quite a few upgrades from my older Legend. I think I need one.

BTW, my recommendation of Garmin is not any slur against TomTom. I have no experience with TomTom, it might be the superior product, I just don't know. I suspect many of the other messages here are the same.

I'd make a comment about that but I'm too busy right now

LOL dmf!

I'm actually looking at a TomTom for my sister's birthday. Right now calling me for directions everytime she's on a shopping trip is her gps. TomTom appears to be simple to operate and that's the primary need for her or it will go out the window at 80mph.

Chairboy · « **Reply #42 on:** June 25, 2006, 12:01:38 PM »

Yeah, but will the TomTom give her a precision WAAS approach into an airport with modified minimums during a SIGMET?

tee hee

Go try out the TomTom and try the equivalent Garmin. The TomTom might be the right tool, or the Garmin might be. We all seem to have had positive experiences with Garmin, but we haven't heard anyone say "tomtom is teh suck!!!!!!! it drove me into a river!!111!1!1" yet either.

dmf · « **Reply #43 on:** June 25, 2006, 02:17:14 PM »

Oh yea right like she'll ever go shoping at the airport.
