Having had my GPS stolen I am in the market for a new version. As mine was a ten year old Garmin 12 I am tempted by the new world of GPS mapping. Not tempted though by Garmin's adverts and promises. Where are these maps that you could use for "on the ground navigation" and what are they going to cost? In all my looking I still just see low res/low detail maps that are merely decorative.
Is there a real challenge out there to the Active 10?
I think I'll just stick with map and compass for the moment.
Are you at all interested in buying a replacement Garmin 12 for now? If so, make me a sensible offer....
I have a serial PC cable for it, and could include a CCS padded case too.
Andrew,
If you need a replacement GPS I have also have a Garmin 12xl, the serial PC interface cable with cigarette ligther adaptor, garmin case, the instructions, in its original box too
I was going to put it on ebay a while back but, didn't bother when i saw the prices they were going for at the time.
Thanks for the offers on the 12s but I have decided to sit on my hands and wait; maybe my Scots upbringing can be overcome and I will buy an "Active" but I wouldn't bet on it.
As to that "touch screen navigational device"; I had been using one for thirty years but it got nicked as well and I now have a new one. Bit boring though, it just looks the same as the old one.
