Hi all.
A friend of mine has Kindly let me have a play with his GPS watch.
As i probably won't be using the heart rate monitor, I'll just stick to the GPS part lol.
First impressions it seems a nice little Gizmo.
I went for a little walk round the estate i live on, setting waypoints along the way, Having my home set as base camp.
Getting a GPS fix once it's enabled takes seconds. I'm hoping to go for a longer walk this weekend to do a more decent review with pictures.
In Navigation mode it has :-
Waypoint Navigation with arrow pointer and distance indications, New waypoints saved at the push of a button, waypoints can also be saved automatically by the watch.
A total of 10 routes, with 99 waypoints per route can be stored.
3 navigation modes, waypoint, forward and backward.
Very easy to set up on the p.c. Doesn't come with any bundled software, You have to download it from their website, Works with Google earth along side its own software. Adding waypoints from the p.c. to the watch takes seconds.
The price tag puts me off a little at £80. From Maplins ( no affiliation etc )
Cheers andy
