1999. my bad I use this for geocaching. Really accurate, but batteries suck. 12 hours at best. Questions? just ask. Created on October 28, 2009 using FlipShare.
In 1999 it would have been an old model, bought cheap. I mean, it’s still perfectly serviceable for geocaching even now, so no big deal.. I felt mine was a bargain when I bought mine the year before.
@strolls Oh, I see. But my Grandfather said he bought it in 1999 brand new. He had seen an advertisement for it in a catalog.
@16mmDJ – yes, it’s the description that’s wrong. Your original guess of 1996 is more accurate – that would be about the original release date. If you bought this in 1999 then it was an obsolete model by that time – the GPS 3 was already released by then, it contained map data of cities, rivers, major highways and railway lines.
@strolls Check the description
You’re mistaken about 1999 as the year this model was launched. I bought one on sale as an older model in 1998.
@16mmDJ Lol I finally got it, I realized I had to have 09:30, which is so obvious, stupid me.
@16mmDJ I figured out I need to set the offset, mine is +9:30 hours, I put in “90:30″ (I put the 0 after the 9 because it requires another digit) and it doesn’t change the time.
@16mmDJ Also, how do I set the time? I can’t figure ot how….
@16mmDJ How do you get satellites inside your house? I don’t even get them near the window…
@lodestar260 It would be best if you could do your best to making a video of what your problem is. You don’t have to speak english or anything, just show me what you want me to do as best as you can.
Het zou best zijn als u uw beste aan het maken van een video kon doen van wat uw probleem is. U don’ t moet het Engels of om het even wat spreken, enkel me tonen wat u me wilt doen zo goed als u kunt.
Ik hoop die gemaakte betekenis. (I hope that made sense)
