Gps Magellan - Tips
Hello Chris,
I have a GPS Magellan Explorist, cost about about 100
USA and is durable, I cannot find anyway to connect to electricity, it eat
batteries like Candy.
I was going to upgrade, but did not find a price that
was good. I wanted to pay 100-200 and get a way to plug into electricity, and
connect to my computer.
The big problem with a GPS is to transfer the data
correctly and fast from the GPS to a computer. I have to be extremely cautious
and check. If I remove the batteries while the device is on, it will erase all
the memory.
I now take a reading and type into the computer when
I return home, if erased, then the distance from here to there is difficult to
calculate. I have two coordinates now one locations, like say, my Mom and
Atakpame, Togo. IF Moms coordinates are in the GPS, I can look and see how many
Kilometers or Miles from home.
I want a cable between the GPS and the computer. To
use a map is to need a car,
Thank you, Andy HoboTraveler.com https://www.hobotraveler.com/blogger.html
