Well, I haven't sent a story to you in a few years so here's another one. You probably won't recall but I was allowed to use one of your units a number of years ago on a canoe trip with St. John's School of Alberta. That trip got me hooked on GPS and your store. I have been teaching a GPS course at night at the college in Thunder Bay for a number of years, as well as teaching GPS to my Adventure Program students at the same college. I always reccommend your store and know that you at least sell some units to people in Thunder Bay. I know that the Community Programs department has purchased at least 30-40 units. Anyway, the point of the above is just to say you supported SJSA (and me at the same time) and I continue to support you. Here's the story. I recently purchased a SPOT messenger and went to Costa Rica last week. SPOT has a neat feature wherein friends and family can see where you are if they look at a site on the Internet. I took my SPOT unit and my Vista Cx to Costa Rica. While on a horse ride through the jungle and on some beaches the SPOT unit fell off and I did not notice the loss until the end of the ride. I really did not want to re-trace the horse ride so I used GPS technology to try and find the lost unit. I returned to my hotel, entered the SPOT web site and noted the last location of the unit. I rented a motorcycle, entered the coordinate data into my Vista Cx and used "go to". The Vista took me to within 15 feet of the lost SPOT unit. It seems it fell off while the horse was climbing a riverbank. I've enclosed a picture. This picture shows exactly where the unit was. I'm just feeling a little nervous as really BIG crocodiles live in the river behind me. Found at 16P E0757397 N1075490 or N 9.72131 W84.65398 Thanks, eh? Rod Thunder Bay, ON

Hi, it was on my recent trip to Jamaica - to climb the blue mountain peak and mark my 2300th geocache from the highest point in the Carribean. - Jeff

Oddie & Jeff at Skookumchuck Narrows Provincial Park. Picture was taken with Oddie, my Shnoodle wearing my SPOT. Well, at least one of use would be found. -Robert (Vancouver) The muskeg. The quads. What the Vista HCx can really do... My friends and I spend
a lot of time on our quads, touring north-eastern British Columbia. Many
of the areas we head into are tough going, with muskeg and limited visibility
due to the terrain. It is very easy to get turned around and lost, but
we always feel safe with our Garmin
Vista HCX. With over 1 gig of storage
on the Micro SD chip and the Topo Canada maps for BC and Alberta loaded
in, no matter where we are, we know “how
to get back”. These units receive satellite signals no matter how
dense the bush, and have not let us down yet. I had the Garmin
276C for
awhile, but like the Vista so much more, as the Sat signals received by
the Vista are more numerous than the 276.As you can see by the picture,
quads, Garmin and rider get covered in mud, yet a quick wipe with the glove
is enough to keep the Garmin screen visible. I use the Ram Stainless U
bolt on the quad, and have the suction cup mount in the truck. At the end
of the ride, a quick splash of clean water, wipe with a rag, and in the
truck it goes to help keep track of mileage. At the end of the day, each
track is saved on the computer for easy reference later on. Our ATV Club
has used the Garmin tracks to build a Map of our local trails, which we
use as a fund raiser for our club. We also have the SPOT Satellite Messenger
in case we get into trouble, and would not think to leave home without
it on those remote trips. Reviewing the “Photo Gallery” page,
I noticed that most of the pictures are of nice clean units, so I thought
maybe you needed one showing what these things can stand up too.
