Besides driving

Tomorrow my Deleou CF GPS is supposed to be coming in.

I'm excited, but besides driving directions, what will the GPS do?

Can go hiking with it and have it tell me where I am or where my base camp is? Does that require new software?

Thanks.

Absolutely! Hiking with a GPS is fun and, if you're like me, you're less likely to get lost.

Another great activity that combines hiking and GPS is geocaching. For info, go to http://www.geocaching.com/.

It needs new software. Depending on your needs there are many progs out there.

If you are a golfer StarCaddy sells golf course layouts that are used with the GPS system. It basically functions like the built in GPS systems at more exclusive resorts/courses. It gives distance to the green, can provide "lay up" yardage, keep track of scores, etc.

I don't even own a GPS CF unit yet, but if I get one I may try StarCaddy!

If you hadn't added in the part about the distance, score tracking, etc. I'd have questioned just what kind of person gets lost on a golf course. ;)


I still don't think Geocaching using a PDA is worth it, until some good software without problems is put out.
