Hey there!

I'm Martin Jansen and this is my tumblelog. Most cool kids seem to have one these days. Do you?

The things I publish here are replicated on my other home page and there is more stuff there, too.

GPS cont’d

Apparently the readership of my small niche of the web has no interest in GPS at all, because I received zero replies after my recent inquiry. Oh well, I don’t mind, really.

So today I went on a GPS unit foray with the intent of getting an eTrex Summit, which costs about EUR 220 in Germany, but came back home with something significantly better for a smaller price:

At their fantastic Cologne store Globetrotter is currently selling out their stock of eTrex Vista units which normally cost EUR 429 for EUR 199, because apparently Garmin is about to release a new model or something like that in the next weeks. This means that one gets the Vista unit which has all features of Summit plus basemap support (which I don’t really, but this doesn’t matter) for 20 bucks less. Pretty cool price. Pretty cool toy.
