Sometimes I use that tracking/mapping option on my Garmin. It gives me a good visual reference so that I can locate myself on a map without measuring from grids, etc. It does not store every single waypoint -- couldn't, really -- probably not enough memory to do that. But I can enter waypoints while traveling for, say, good lunch stops. There is a price in that it eats batteries quickly. Mine has a continuous tracking mode that is particularly ravenous but at kayaking speeds 30 second intervals are more than sufficient. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Mar 26 1999 - 06:53:56 PST
