Back In The Saddle

“If anything could happen, Offshore is usually where it happens.” I find this true… it’s the relentless motion from the sea on your vessel. Sure, I’ve been Offshore several times where it was flat and I mean flat… Had to do a lot of motoring with the sailboat. One time I was coming from Port Everglades Inlet (Fort Lauderdale) to Beaufort North Carolina. There was not even a ripple as far as the eye could see. We would swim off the boat and around it ….this was fun until someone mentioned shark watch. Then all stayed by the ladder … that meant four people clamoring by the stern. Another time was a Bermuda run, Montauk to Bermuda in early June. Enough wind for the 150% Genoa and full Main to catch on a tight reach. Just beautiful, and that was a four and a half day run. Even crossing the Gulf Stream was uneventful. Seeing the beautiful deep blue waters of the Gulf Stream was memorizing… it’s a color you think can only be put on paper, yet all around you this color seems endless and unreal. We dragged along a thermometer to see if there would be a temperature change. I heard there would be one and to our astonishment it went from the mid 60 degrees to 80s. What a planet. The Gulf Stream keeping that warmth all the way from Florida and beyond. Here we are in the north and it still holds that kind of temperature….it’s just amazing.

Now I have to say I have been in some nasty stuff also. The worst was …. You’re right …. In the Gulf Stream going North from Florida to Beaufort, North Carolina once again. This time for 2 ½ days, winds from the south were 58 to 64 knots and peaked for about four hours at about 74 knots. The whistling in the rigging was very intense, but as we slid down the waves the whistling went further and further up the mast till it was gone. Out mast was 58 feet high, the wave? You guess… But our sailboat rode well even though it looked like our cockpit canvas would explode at the seams.

This is what I was thinking about as my new crew members, Emory and Katherine, checked in on their approximate arrival at Summit Marina on the C & D Canal(Chesapeake & Delaware Canal) for the 2nd part of the trip. It started from Herrington Harbor, just south of Annapolis MD. I was told Delaware Bay, where it meets the C&D Canal could be treacherous with 6 to 9 foot waves. I reviewed all the charts and the chart books I could about this, but just felt we’d hit it at slack tide and light winds for no worries. What I did find was the rarity of marinas and harbors along the Delaware Bay. That’s a 50-60 mile stretch. If the waves kick up along with the wind… we have plenty of Lee shore… Bad for sailboats.

I was stowing everything I could, yet leaving essential things at arms length in all compartments. I work all over the boat in no particular order but my final preparation is from bow to stern, inside and out. For example, the anchor is locked in with a pin on the anchor mount. Chain snugged up tight on the windless with a line on the anchor shackle to a cleat. I try to have three safeties. The inflatable dingy on deck is tied to stanchions, deck holds, and railings from the D rings on the dinghy. We also tie it over the top. Halyards not running to the cockpit are tied to and wedged to shrouds and tied again. Below in the forward head, all is secured with containers put away in locked cabinets. Anything lose is secured, everything gets a place. The ice box (refrigerator/freezer) tops are hinged so they won’t go flying in a knockdown… books, coffeemaker, pots pans, all get their spot, but also can be readily available.

The Weather forecast says seas off Cape May to Chesapeake are 12 to 15 feet with winds 25 to 30 knots gusting to 35 from the northeast… very bad! But the additional forecast says winds switching to the southwest, 10-15 knots by tomorrow evening and southwest 5-10 knots thereafter. With winds coming in the opposite direction, the seas will quickly diminish… very good! It actually means one Front is moving out and another is taking it’s place. That’s the way you want it… Bad weather changing to good. Not to have good weather now, and rushing to beat the bad weather that’s coming in. All things seem to be falling into place.

Emory is coming in this evening and we will pick up Katherine in the morning from the airport. Emory has been Offshore with me numerous times, well come to think of it… all the major trips for more years I care to remember. He has been on some that to say the least didn’t go smoothly. On some trips the cabin below looked like scrambled eggs. Everyone was fine, but things would go wrong. As I mentioned before, “The Sea is Relentless”. Emory would talk about “The Domino Effect”. It seems when things go wrong it starts becoming a Domino Effect. In a Domino Effect, one thing goes wrong, than another, than another. Not good, especially when you’re Offshore. How many spares do you have? Did you anticipate this or that? You are limited out there. With the Domino Effect, you must stop it cold, there is no harbor Offshore.

All below and above have been tightened up, fuel and water topped off, spares such as filters, solderless connectors, wiring, epoxy, and tools are made easily available. All that matters now is the weather and it seems to be cooperating very nicely.

Katherine has had many hours on the water, and by owning her own 18 foot run-about, she knew boat handling and inland navigation. Docking was no problem for her, it came easily. She has a sense of feel not all of us have. But this is her first time Offshore, with no land in sight. She was nervous but confident at the same time. I have known her for a few years and found her level headed and inquisitive. Not afraid to voice an opinion or an objection. I felt we could have used one more crew member, but I will figure out a good schedule that will suit us all. With the Watch Schedule, you can’t have it feeling like work, it just has to flow.

It was late but Emory was excited when he arrived. He hadn’t seen the boat yet, just pictures, and what I sent him he liked. When onboard he could not believe the room below. He looked into every compartment stunned by all the storage. I told him of the weather window that was happening as he checked out “Island Time”. We spoke and listened to the weather reports over the VHF radio. The other Front was moving out. It had sat Offshore to the northeast up to New England for quite some time, throwing off those winds and seas. We talked of Katherine’s arrival the next morning, made some coffee and also discussed how we’d round Cape May. We could take it down the shipping channel and out to the Atlantic, or if the weather was as nice as they were predicting… we could cut her close to shore and I mean close because of some shallow areas and make it out that way, saving miles and hours. But we’ll see when we get there. Cape May canal is also a great route to go instead of rounding the cape, but in our case, being a sailboat, our mast is 60 feet and will not fit under the bridge. We turned in for the night. In the morning, we headed over to the Baltimore International Airport to pick up Katherine. She was all smiles as she jumped into the car all excited also. “I can’t believe I’m here” she said… “I’m nervous about Offshore … I know I’ll be alright, but I can’t believe I’m here”. The excitement in the car was electric. We were all set to go. Arriving aboard, we went right for the VHF and listened to the weather report. There were still waves of 8 to 10 feet, but the winds had turned to the southwest at 10 knots. The predictions now were 5 to 7 feet tonight, 3 to 5 feet tomorrow, which made it easy to decide for an early AM departure tomorrow. We ended up having lunch in Chesapeake City and checking out the surrounding area.

The alarm clock sounded… it was still dark this early AM, but final checks have to be made like weather and final chart plotting. Tides and currents also need to be dealt with, plus I always give the crew plenty of time to get themselves together. And coffee helps! We untied her lines and pulled away from the dock. It was funny moving by a forest but the marina sat in one. Completely enveloped. I knew the current would be against us in the C&D canal. It had about an hour and a half until it turned with us. The marina sat right on the north side of the C&D canal so as you leave the marina you are in the C&D. I have a Tide Tracker unit from years ago that tells you the tides and currents from Nova Scotia to the Virgin Islands. It’s a great little portable electronic item for quick checks (not made anymore I hear). This morning showed the current at 1.7 knots against us, but diminishing quickly. When we exited the marina I anticipated current but it really took us. We have a winged keel at 5 foot draft, and I was just thinking if we had a full keel … wow … it would carry you way back. I eased the throttle forward, turned her more to port and slowly she came bow to. Our progress to say the least was slow, so checking out the sites were no problem. The bridges here, one after another were beautifully done. One different from the next. We slowly made our way eastward through the C&D. No breeze to speak of and the waters flat. The weather window is doing great, blue skies as we make our way out of the C&D Canal into the Delaware Bay. I don’t remember breakfast and I don’t remember feeling hungry so someone must have made something.

As we turned southward down the Delaware Bay, the serenity is taken up by the Nuclear power plant. I have never seen one so close up like this, but it is expansive. Talking about scenery… it was going by fast. The tide was pulling us out…. We were getting sucked out to the Atlantic. Winds were very light… like they predicted, 5 to 10 knots. We continued motoring, watching the marsh like shore go by. In the distance past the marsh were trees with the land rising slightly. It seemed wide open. The freighter traffic picked up as they passed us heading north towards the C&D Canal. As we continued south the winds picked up slightly, letting us open up to full sails. “Island Time” heeled lightly to port, and as we shut the engine down the drone of the exhaust gave way to the water rustling by. Our slow progress under sail was made up by the outgoing tide. It only took six hours to get down the Delaware Bay. We made the decision to round Cape May close, so Emory took over the helm from the autopilot. He would match up latitudes and longitudes I gave him off the paper charts, to that on the chartplotter by moving the cursor. As you moved the cursor, your latitudes and longitudes change. We would agree on that heading to the cursor, or if not, Emory would giving me his coordinates. All went smoothly around Cape May, a little close, but the winds and waves were cooperating. We discussed heading into Cape May harbor to fuel up. I didn’t know if the electronic tank indicator was accurate, so topping off would alleviate that question and at the same time tell me fuel consumption per hour on our 4 cylinder Yanmar 56 horse power.

The seas were lumpy, 3 – 5 feet as predicted. Cape May harbor entrance faced seaward, but the jetties calmed things down. As we made our way into the harbor, we were greeted by a pair of porpoise happily playing around. Marina entrances in this Harbor were not marked and local knowledge was a must. We called ahead after trying this way and that and got the secret from the marina. After fueling, I found our consumption a little less than 1.3 gallons an hour. The electronic tank indicator had to be kept an eye on because the fuel being pumped on board did not match the indicator. It seemed to show we had more fuel than we had. As we pulled out of the marina we all knew the run to Montauk Offshore has begun. The Offshore Watches were discussed and basically put together aloud. I would have the 8pm to 11pm shift, Emory, the 11pm to 3am, and Katherine the 3am – 7am, but I would be on deck with Katherine on her watches. Daytime was up for grabs… meaning we knew someone would be on deck, we all pulled our weight during the day light hours… we all did what we wanted but we knew to cover the daylight hours.

Sails up and in the Atlantic at 6:30pm. The wind was coming from the southwest, the seas as I had mentioned were very lumpy at 3 – 5 feet. The waves were basically coming from the southwest, but a lot were from the east, which were the remnants from the last front. It made the ride at first uncomfortable. When you would get used to the motion another lumpy wave would come at you from a different direction. I called the seas lumpy because they were not typical to what you might expect. A usual sea is waves coming from one direction following the wind, rolling on by, spaced apart somewhat evenly. The bigger the seas, the longer the wave tops are. As the winds picked up the bigger waves crest a bit here and there. This is what you find Offshore typically. Lumpy conditions are from a wind shift, usually abrupt. The waves want to come from the wind direction but the waves from the last front are still rolling in from a different direction. As they meet, they push each other around causing wallowed up waves from confused directions. This is as I say uncomfortable at these present winds speeds around 10 knots. Can you imagine it at 20 or 30 knots? This is where skill comes in and danger begins. The waves are incredible because one going into another makes for a bigger wave. Prudent sailors wait in the harbor for better weather, but others less fortunate coming from a distant port get stuck out there… trouble can definitely begin. In our case the weather is improving calling for small wave heights and lighter winds. I find motor sailing more comfortable in these seas, and don’t want Katherine to feel uneasy. We are doing 6.6 knots SOG (speed over ground) with a course of approximately 60 degrees (the seas are moving us around quite a bit). As you remember, the knot meter was intermittent, and now quits completely. I am cautious about this, thinking if it is electrical, will my other electronics go out one by one? My back up is a handheld GPS which will give us latitude and longitude, easily put on a paper chart to see our progress. I turn off all unessential equipment basically only running the electronics and running lights, all other circuits are off. This is what I do normally anyway. I try to keep the Domino Effect in check. I give a last look around including bilge and through-hull fittings, securing anything that needs to be. Then let the watches begin… oh wait, I’m up. Emory makes a light dinner… some soup in hot cups which warms us up and bread. With the wave action, light and easy was good. After, Emory got some shut eye and I watched the stars appear. The evening was getting chilly and a jacket was in order. I can tell you that every hour that went by, the sea came more and more from the southwest, making the ride more comfortable. This was the first evening running with “Island Time” and found the engine gauges had a switch to illuminate them, and the red night lighting down below at floor level was convenient for quick checking around. All I can say is that the boat seemed tight, no groans or creaks were coming from hull movement or any other undesirable places. Things are looking good and strong. Emory comes on deck… I realize my watch went by quickly. We chat about my watch and what to keep an eye on. Through the years my crew knows not to switch anything on while I’m off watch asleep (as a captain, I really don’t know if I do sleep… maybe deep resting). They know to alert me of any changes, especially electrical. I had one crew member years back that did not listen and I awoke to the sounds of circuit breakers being switched on and off, one after the other. They were labeled but he just kept switching them all to get whatever on. To say the least, I banned him from the panel and explained again I needed to be there in case something happened… I’d hate to be awakened to an electrical fire. Things happen Offshore from the relentless movement… we’re miles and miles from any help. How do they say it? “Better safe than sorry”.

Katherine comes in the aft cabin to let me know she is going on watch. I groggily come awake thinking it was an instant before I just laid back. As I moved through the boat I can tell the erratic motion has greatly subsided. Let the late night watch begin! This was Katherine’s first Offshore shift watch. She wanted to make sure not to make a mistake, and we reassured her she wouldn’t. Emory bought us up to speed on our location, course, sea conditions, and changes. Nothing out of the ordinary and at this point, things were running smooth. Katherine asked Emory a few questions to get the feel of the evening. And within hours Katherine seemed comfortable with her abilities and surroundings. This makes for a good crew member. I told her how the stars get so close to you at night, but a brightening glow off to port prevented this. We realized Atlantic City was the only area bright enough to do this. It’s funny… when you’re out sailing you realize the amount of energy needed to make something that bright. You realize your simplicity to that, but the glow that high into the atmosphere and this far out to sea is amazing. Katherine stayed behind the helm as I lounged on the starboard side of the cockpit in one of those adjustable lounge seats…. Oh what perfection. I dozed with her permission and her knowing I was there in a moments notice. She would get familiar with the chart plotter and other electronics, asking me questions here and there as she figured out each knob, button, and switch.

Dawn started bringing color to our watch. In the evening everything seems black and white around you… and then dawn. It’s like seeing a color TV for the first time, a great feeling. Emory came on deck. At around 6:30am I noticed a large sized super white moth come flying in. The wind was generally behind us and I thought nothing of this till another and another and another came aboard. Within 20 or 30 minutes, herds of them came in on us. I had to close the hatchway. This made me think of the movie “The Birds” from Alfred Hitchcock. The moths would disappear under cleats, coiled lines, hatchway edgings, anywhere there was an opening. And with this all disappeared and it was like it didn’t happen…. Until…. A black and yellow breasted sparrow type bird appeared. Just one and very small at that. He landed on the aft deck, hopping around. But as it turned out… he was looking for the moths. He was pulling them out of their hiding spots, shaking them hard to knock off there wings, and than consuming them. For over an hour he was magnificent and relentless. He pulled them from everywhere… places I would not expect. He knew his trade and with a bow before he left, he sprung into flight. Talk about nature and this far out at sea. We were all amazed.

Breakfast went down easy in these calming seas. No shore to be seen so looking for whales, dolphins or other sea life was exciting. You didn’t know what you would or would not see. We had been clicking off the miles and found that we had 70 miles to go. Montauk here we come. During the day the cockpit stayed busy with conversation. I went below checking the bilge and through-hull fittings again, and giving an all around check out. No problems to report was brought back to the cockpit and with that, everyone found their comfy spot. Sandwiches were consumed for lunch; music from CDs came out of the background. We talked about our bird buddy and Emory mentioned that he noticed on the yellow breast a kind of black bowtie. For dinner chef Emory brought out ravioli with a great salad. The sailing was great, this weather window was holding up and the company was the toping. The sunset was magnificent. I have seen many Offshore before, but this one drew my attention and camera. The skies turned red as it spread along the horizon. The red sun settled on the sea top ready to plunge below. Instead it stacked itself like pancakes making an intenser red. A halo around the stacking formed from the different shades of red. When it finished stacking, it hung there saying “I’m not going away yet,” and seemed to muscle itself aloft… then like a feather, a slight downward motion was noticed. And like a feather it held itself aloft awhile. And gently down again as the pancakes of red slowly, but so slowly, got swallowed by the sea. Its remnants in the sky above changed shades of red that seemed to be a part of the whole sky.

Once again an inspection down below and some tidying up is done. We are zoning in on Montauk and will be there in two hours or so. That would make it close to 11pm. It will be dark but we will have plenty of sea-room to round Montauk. Coming into unfamiliar harbors at night is not really prudent, but this is no problem. I have decided to anchor in a slight cut out on the east side of Gardners Island for the evening. It will add a few more hours to the trip, but will give us a gorgeous view come morning. If the trip Offshore was longer I feel confident this crew would have no problem handling it. We all gelled nicely and time went by quickly. Seeing the illumination of the Montauk lighthouse excited us all. I reflected on the Offshore trip we have just accomplished with ease. Being mainly land bound the past 4 ½ years was not a factor at all…I guess it’s like riding a bike…ya just gotta get on it. The combination of crew, weather, sea conditions, and boat was the key to an enjoyable trip. No other component on board barked back, but don’t think I wasn’t ready… you never know …. Happy sailing.

How long does the awning need to be so the shadow will extend ten feet from the trailer?

The location Tom has decided to park his motor home faces due south. He wants to shade an area ten feet in front of the south side of his trailer with an awning which is nine feet high. Using his GPS receiver, he has determined the exact latitude of the camper is 26.25degrees. He knows that to calculate the angle of elevation of the sun at noon on June 21st, he needs to subtract the latitude from 90 and add 23.5.

90° - 26.25° + 23.5° = 87.25°
L = 10 - 9/tan(87.25) = 9 ft. 6.8124 in.

Running Gps Watch Heart Rate

February 28th 2010

running gps watch heart rate


running gps watch heart rate

Garmin GPS Watches - Garmin Forerunner 310XT Triathlete Watch

Garmin’s Forerunner 310 XT GPS enabled fitness device is exactly that and not a crossover sports watch like its favored sibling the Forerunner 405CX. It is a full on, dedicated training aid with a bigger display and waterproof enough to be submerged to 50m suggesting that it can be used by swimmers and triathletes. It should be observed that the heart rate monitoring won’t work in water.

DISCOUNTED LIMITED TIME OFFER : Garmin Forerunner 310 XT

The wrist-mount device of Garmin Forerunner 310 XT can can also be secured to a handlebar thru a discretionary soft mount. The enormousdisplay and comfortably laid-out buttons are backed up by a piercing audio alarm or extra vibration setting, so you users will not miss a beat. The Garmin Forerunner 310 XT tracks speed, distance and location, and if you actually want to dork out on info, it can be used with wireless power-counting devices like SRM cranks.

Garmin Forerunner 310 XT is a GPS-enabled, swim-proof mentor that tracks bike and run data and sends it wirelessly to your computer. Its stylish design and flexible wristband mean Garmin Forerunner 310 XT is simple to use in any condition.

All while running and when i am getting home it enables me to wireless transmit the data back to my PC for research. in addition it desires no foot pod, as older versions of running watches do, to trace all of my stats, it does it all through satellite.

The Forerunner 310 XT is water impervious to a depth of fifty metres, guarantees a simple interface and can log every kind of sports info like speed, distance and location. This Garmin Forerunner 310XT permits you to track time, distance, pace, elevation change, and naturally heart rate. You may use software from Garmin to investigate your information and help you train / race better. Maybe one of the most inspiring accomplishments Garmin has come up with is the improved battery life of this Garmin Forerunner 310 XT. This battery will last you for the longest triathlon races and later a bit more.

Even cycle rider who drills for great distances will like this computer for the battery charge lifespan. And its sleek design and flexible wristband mean Forerunner is easy to use in any weather. And using cutting edge ANT+TM wireless technology, Garmin Forerunner 310 XT connects neatly to a non compulsory heart rate monitor, foot pod and intonation sensor. It is going to be distributed on its own or with a new water-proof, soft-strap heart rate monitor, which is predicted to be available this season. Even though it won’t broadcast heart-rate info underwater, the strap may be used under a wetsuit to shave down transition time.

Garmin Forerunner 310 XT will also instantly download training logs to a user’s computer or Mac for later analysis. it can be used in the other direction with runners, sport fanatics, cyclists and walkers able to send courses, goals and workouts to their Garmin Forerunner 310 XT before they practise.

This Garmin Forerunner 310 XT is the king of coaching tools, and among the best heart-rate, speed and distance tracking wrist tops we have seen during the past many years. Having said that, for elite and professional level athletes, it doesn’t offer the sort of complicated heart rate monitoring and walk feedback available on the Polar RS800CX, which we recently tested. Except for most sportsmen simply seeking a personal best, the Garmin Forerunner 310 XT will take you there in stride. Endurance athletes will appreciate the extended battery charge lifespan of up to 20 hours.

Gps Maps For India

February 28th 2010

gps maps for india


touch screen phone with GPS and wifi must?

want to buy a touch screen phone with GPS and wifi. camera is not must but full screen touch is i like and iphone like multi touch is looking for..good screen .if possible GPS with satguide cause they provide many india city maps….

Touchscreen mobile phones are the latest rage in India, and cellphone manufacturers have jumped onto the touchphone bandwagon by launching several models. And there is more to come too.

Apple iPhone 3G: The iPhone 3G is the most high-profile touchscreen phone yet in India. Priced at around Rs 35000, the iPhone is capable of working in 3G wireless environment. The 3G touchscreen phone has support for GPS tracking, and supports Microsoft Exchange and the new App Store. And unlike any other touchscreen phone in India, it combines the features of an iPod, a mobile touch screen phone and an internet device.

Nokia XpressMusic 5800: The latest touchscreen competitor to the iPhone is the Nokia XpressMusic 5800, now available in India. Like the iPhone which is built around the iPod, the Nokia XpressMusic 5800 touch screen phone is also built around the idea of bringing music to the phone user. It comes pre-loaded with about 200 songs and the touch screen is easy to use. The Nokia XpressMusic 5800 touch phone works on GPRS EDGE networks, and has bluetooth connectivity. The inclusion of GPS Maps is a wise idea, since many GPS cellphones available in India are handicapped since the user has to buy map software at additional cost to make use of the functionality. WiFi is notably absent.

BlackBerry Storm 9500: BlackBerry Storm is the first touchscreen phone which Blackberry has launched in India. With its features, it promises to be a tough challenger to the iPhone 3G. In terms of the cool quotient, the Storm is neck-and-neck with the iPhone, though cheaper. The built-in GPS is good, though lack of affordable and available mapping services in India will not help BlackBerry push GPS as its USP. However, Blackberry’s habit of selling operator-locked phones is not going to help it much in India, where it is available only from Vodafone.

Samsung Omnia i900: Samsung Omnia i900 is Samsung’s latest multimedia phone in India. The Omnia mobile also sports WiFi and Bluetooth, besides GPS on board. The Omnia works on GPRS EDGE networks, and is 3G-ready. Samsung Omnia touch screen phone is overpriced at Rs 40,000 for a 32 GB model and Rs 38,000 for a 24 GB model.

HTC Touch Diamond: The HTC Touch Diamond comes with Bluetooth and GPS, must-haves in all smartphones. The HTC Touch Diamond also sports an FM radio.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1: It has Bluetooth, GPS and GPRS EDGE connectivity, and comes with FM radio. The navigation options include the optical joystick navigation and a navigation key. Google Maps is also loaded to complement the GPS system.

Mio Gps Accessories Digiwalker

February 28th 2010

mio gps accessories digiwalker


mio gps accessories digiwalker

If you’re the kind of person that’s on top of what’s hot on the technology scene, you’ll have already heard of the Mio Digiwalker range. One of the many recommended models from the range is the P360 with EU mapping; a small hand held computer, with built in phone and all the features you could possibly need in such a device.

The range provides a wide selection of models with different features depending on your needs. It is now possible to listen to music, watch movies, view and create spreadsheets, manage contacts. Also it’s windows compatible so if you choose this hand held device you an use it alongside your work or home computer. Finally if all that isn’t accommodating enough it also includes the most useful of functions, a built in GPS navigation system.

Carrying multiple devices around with you is a thing of the past and a great advantage of having GPS on this unit is that, rather than having to use a built in satellite navigation system in the car, you can use this GPS device if you’re on foot and need to find out where your going. Just slip it into your briefcase or handbag and use it whenever it’s needed. The Mio Digiwalker has built in wireless Sir Fstar lll receivers, so you can use it no matter where you are, anytime, anywhere.

This range of Mio Digiwalkers is easy to use and accessible to a world of people that may not have realised the potential of GPS previously. To the business commuter, having this feature would allow them to cut out traffic jams and avoid road works, that they previously would have unknowingly stubbled onto.

Those who drive have not been forgotten and there is an extensive range of accessories that allow you to get the most out of your Digiwalker in the car. This versatile device can be used, in the car, on foot or on alternative transportation, whatever’s required.

The Mio Digiwalker C220 range offers you a standalone GPS device. It has a nice wide screen and without the extra functions to confuse or complicate matters for people on the go, this is a simple and easy to use device.

The Mio C220 takes the thinking out of travelling, not only does it take you to your destination by the quickest route or by the scenic route if you prefer, it also informs you of the speed limits along the way and UK maps are already installed in this model for your convenience. To get to your destination you need simply input your desired address using the onscreen keyboard and you will be at your destination before you know it. This device does the work for you and can be as simple as you need it to be.

Whatever model you choose from the Mio Digiwalker range you are getting a sleek looking device, that anyone can learn to use and most importantly it takes all the stress out of finding your way around.

Any ideas on which I should get? Thanks.

Well, iv’e used the Mio c310x for over a year now. If the c320 is any indication from that, it should be a nice buy for the price. My c310x isn’t 100% accurate, doesn’t say actual street names (tho it does have voice guidance), and sometimes directs you the long way around to get to a destination, but it DOES get me there, so I have that to back me up concerning Mio’s work.

On the one hand, Cnet’s reviews as well as its users reviews rank the Garmin higher, and you’re also able to get it cheaper.

On the otherhand, the Mio has a bigger screen……

If this is entry level, I’d say go with the Garmin. Else, may wanna check out the reviews in detail, and consider spending a ‘lil more to get what you may also like in a GPS device

Portable Gps Displays

February 28th 2010

portable gps displays


Is there a portable GPS unit out there that also displays a map?

Does anyone know of a GPS unit that, on top of giving driving directions, can display a map of the area?

It would be great if the maps had street names and if I have a GPS coordinate, allow me to input that then find the location . Essentially, I am looking for a self contained device with the functionality of google maps, with a large screen, and has no need for a cell connection.

Any Ideas??
