I prefer paper maps for the "big picture".<br /><br />redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-48645977808095383042012-08-27T08:48:07.194-04:002012-08-27T08:48:07.194-04:00Uh oh!

I'...Yeah, hearing the voice would be startling. I've had that experience with the comma between me and Oilburner. If I am lost in my own thoughts and we haven't spoken in awhile...I've jumped.<br /><br />Do you generally follow the route suggested? Or is it for guidelines? We have been finding that we haven't liked the routes it has plotted lately. So I like being able to see the screen and we can modify the routes as we like. (Another reason it isn't connected to my headset. I can't handle the accusatory "recalculating" messages that occur often.)BeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-54676768052079330712012-08-27T02:16:15.661-04:002012-08-27T02:16:15.661-04:00Ghosts huh

I KNEW we were a GREAT bunch. I see ...Hi Richard!<br /><br />I KNEW we were a GREAT bunch. I see no reason to update when the unit is working fine. I just get frustrated that manufacturers will only support two models back. So if something major does happen, you have no choice but to move on. It's funny, but so few people like the newer models for the motorcycles that the 450's and 550's are still going for a very pretty penny. Even though they aren't support (or near to being). I like working on it like we did, I'm just glad it was something that could be fixed.<br /><br />Your 60csx is a bullet. That will last quite a longtime! I'm glad it is so portable. When my eMap was my only one (for 5 years) it also was the workhorse, going everywhere. I'm going to pull it out this week and get it running. I haven't turned it on it a couple years.BeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-25214411362029575032012-08-26T19:46:58.501-04:002012-08-26T19:46:58.501-04:00I've had my Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx for over 6 yea...I've had my Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx for over 6 years and it has been working flawlessly. I updated the street maps two years ago and but haven't had too many issues to justify the cost. It doesn't have a touchscreen but is waterproof and is used for walks, hikes, bike trips and while traveling. I even use it in the truck on road trips. It Must have thousands of hours on it by now...<br /><br />So I am another old GPS user (in more ways than one!)RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-7210658193872067942012-08-26T19:07:50.671-04:002012-08-26T19:07:50.671-04:00Hi Geoff!

We have a modern one for the car too, but those don't need to be as rough and tumble as the ones for the bikes.<br /><br />So...being 5 years old...how old are those maps?? ;)BeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-34915113984753577092012-08-26T18:25:47.194-04:002012-08-26T18:25:47.194-04:00Lori,

I'll keep that in mind for when I finally ditch my more than 5 year old Garmin GPS (there's your answer with respect to who keeps old ones, hehe). We have a modern one for the car but I really must upgrade the bike GPS. Mind you, it's not touch screen so it'll probably go on forever!)Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.com
