Amateur radio uses APRS--Automatic position reporting system. It's basically a gpsr feeding a VHF or HF radio to periodically report position and other data....
Since you are in an etrex group, I have to assume that you are talking about using an etrex. If you want to know about other things, you need to communicate...
... Bill, Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what he's asking/or what you are saying, but it sounds like what you are saying is incorrect. If you plug your eTrex's...
First, make sure your computer has the drivers installed for the GPS (and I'm referring to the modern eTrex versions with USB in this message). (If you've...
Hi All I have a etrex vista pacific highway 1.00 version. I am having the following problems. Can someone solve it for me? 1. The date is incorrect. It shows...

I think you should switch it on with full batteries and wait for some time, perhaps ½ hour or so to get a fix. If it does not work try again, but be patient....
... The time and date are not settable. They come from the GPS data from the satellite. It sounds like you have not received enough satellite signals to get a...

Hello everybody, I have a problem to transfer maps from one GPS to another. Here is what happened. I bought an eTrex Legend HCx in 2008. I registered the...
Have you contacted Garmin customer service? What did they say? The newer maps are locked to the GPS unit. I don't know if you can prove that the unit is dead...

Dear Laurent What you described is no surprise to me, the contrary would have surprised me. It's all protected against un-allowed copying using the serial...
I've been using my Vista HCx for three years without problems. The other day I've noticed an inconsistent elevation reading and, as usual - and it always...
Thanks to the archived discussions here, I was able to sleuth a bit on my loosening rubber gasket. What I didn't find however, is a preferred solvent for the...
Please post what you find. My first bad rubber gasket was still under warranty so Garmin did the fix. My current Etrex just started coming apart. Thanks!...
I would be hesitant about removing the sealing tape under the rubber piece. It seems to stay attached well and does the sealing job well. I called Garmin...
So Bill, are you suggesting that something......oh say,......like Gorilla glue might be applied without removing the adhesive remains of the sealing tape? I...
I am suggesting that you leave the tape that they use to seal the unit on. Garmin's customer service rep was hinting to use gorilla glue without actually...
I think I'll give it a try. I'm going to try to NOT remove the rubber gasket entirely -- just the upper section that is seriously separating from the body of...
The outer rubber band annoyed me for too long a time and last week I decided to do something with my three-years-old Vista HCx. Removing the rubber band...
You have to leave that sealing tape on there it will seal the unit and the buttons from whatever you use to put the rubber back on with. Silicone glue, been...

I think the problem is with the band material rather than with the glue. The surface is too slick. Even if you rough it up with sandpaper, the glue just peels...
