[Cdt-l] Tune Up Your GPS....eTrax 30

[Doug Carlson]

Jerry, I have an eTrax 30.  I used it last year on my short trek in NM.  I
was able t successfully create routes with my Delorme map CD and get them
entered into the GPS and I successfully added a water cache that Keith
placed for me.  But there are a few things about it I can not figure out.

 

Just wondering if you ever use skype and if so, you would be interested in
maybe trying a GPS training class?

I haven't noticed, but I suspect it may use a little more.

Thank you for that Jerry.

Does that consume more battery while those 2 features are turned on ?

Tune up Your GPS

I have been programming GPS receivers for a few of you out there and have
noticed that probably about 75% of them are not optimized to work as well as
they could. I just put a two page document on my web site which has a
somewhat simplified overview of just how GPS works, and which settings will
make it work the best for hikers. It is here if you want to look:
