"The Vista proved absolutely invaluable,
and the perfect tool for sea kayaking off the coast of Vancouver Island. We had
a fairly new group of kayakers, so it was important to get our island picks right
the first time and routes real time with relation to the tidal currents.
The
Vista gave them dead on. I was also impressed at how easy it was to use, the fact
that it proved (very) waterproof versus salt water, and that it even had most
of the lighthouses set in the NA base map. Sweet. Thanks to Ian for the superb
service and help." |

"Here's
a picture of my GPS setup in my '85 Toyota 4Runner. It consists of a Garmin eTrex
(which has since been replaced with a Garmin GPS35PC),
connected to a Toshiba Libretto running OziExplorer.
This setup is perfect for exploring the back country. |

"I
have an update on the GPS setup in my 4Runner. I've been playing around with the
idea of installing an onboard PC as opposed to replacing it with a new, larger
laptop. The picture above shows my new 5.6" TFT LCD, Garmin
GPS35PC and a Pentium 133 for testing with OziExplorer.
In the background, is my Compaq Presario running Microsoft Streets and Trips.
The laptop is too large to be mounted in my truck so it looks like I will be leaning
towards the onboard PC setup." |

"Joshua
and his dad, Jim (taking the photo), are avid Geocachers. We've been having a
ball with our new Garmin Legend from GPS Central. As
a pilot Jim uses the Legend
extensively for aviation but
Geocaching is a great way for the family to have fun between flights. At this
cache we found one of the illusive Geocoins.
