Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Are we still waving our Garmin willies?

201 - used to stand around for ages waiting for it to lock on. Fondly remember it recording my only sub-50 10k. I had missed the announcement at the race that they'd cut it short due to ice on the roads.
Geko 201 - geocaching, first wave
205 - monster thing, designed specifically to cause pain to a tiny bony wrist.

50 - no idea why I bought *that*
Edge 705 - in a lovely shade of orange. A sadly under-used device, given my cycling habits.
Nuvi 2595 - bought this about 6 months before I got a car with built-in satnav, but the Nuvi has lifetime maps so is used in preference.
910xt - would still go back to this from my 220 if I was going off-road, it does better navigation
Oregon 550 - geocaching, second wave
220 - so light, so purple, the first proper GPS watch I feel comfortable wearing
Vivosmart - lovely but flawed display

Other GPS devices are available. Despite all the Garmins, my main daily GPS device is my iPhone; I use RunKeeper for most of my walks.

Anyone got a FishFinder?

A what?

Must find out what my Nuvi is. My current car has built in satnav that does traffic and all sorts. The display, however, is somewhere near my left knee so I sometimes use the Nuvi in tandem.

The Wheaton Aston 10k Fetch?

Grep, Garmin are big on using GPS to find fish. You've obviously not wandered far from the sport products on their site.

I will wander off and investigate :)

Talking of things dying, my beloved old Blackberry 9000 was killed by a torrential rainstorm. I was with TRO at the time...

That doesn't ring a bell TRO, I set my all time PB there a few years prior to that, despite it being slopey rather than flat, 43:45 - when I was young, thin and faster ;-)
