Hi to all
At the moment I have a Garmin plus11 gps and use oziexplorer software.
I am thinking of updating to a Garmin V or Garmin 60c. Does anyone use any
of these or got any thoughts on them.
Cheers brian.

hiya Brian, cant comment on those GPS's, however i do have the Geko 201.
i can up/download from ozi on
my home pc . i havent used it in a mobile situation with a laptop( maunly cuz i don't have one :) )
anyhow, this little green geko seems to suit us fine with the features it has, was reasonably priced, and means i don't do big figure 8's in the bush anymore.
just an alternative i suppose that you may wish to look at.
rick.

Updating the GPSIIplus would not add any benefit to what you already have unless you want the GPSV/60C to eliminate the laptop. This is assuming you are not considering using the GPSV/60C independantly for mapping use. The GPSV is discontinued, therefore, you need to consider the risk of buying a unit that is already out of date. The basemap in any GPS is substandard and you will need to buy a map for it. However, don't consider the Garmin if you want outback maps, only Magellan have maps that cover the inner desert areas. We have setup a Q&A on
http://www.octapc.com that will give you further details. Q&A tab at the top.
