Description

The listing, Garmin GPS 40 GREAT FOR GEOCACHING! has ended.

This is a vintage Garmin GPS40 unit. I have used this for many adventures geocaching! This is a rugged stand alone handheld unit that is able to store up to 250 way points and has a battery life of over 20 operational hours!

Questions & Comments

Nice! Do you do a lot of geocaching? I never knew about it until we had a cache in front of our house and we talked to some of the people who were searching for it.

Does it have topo maps on it?

Nov 8th, 2011 at 5:31:52 PM PST by

It does not, this is old school military style GPS. It uses way points and virtual roads along with a virtual compass to get you from point A to point B.

u download waypoints manu?

Nov 14th, 2011 at 6:32:08 AM PST by

I'm not quite sure I understand your question, I will repeat, however, that this is a Garmin GPS40 and the sofware that is on it is military waypoint style. Please view http://www.abnormal.com/~thogard/gps/grmntour.html to get a basic idea of the function.

u download waypoints manu? Translation: Do you input waypoints (geocaching locations) manually? My question was in reference to a part of your description that stated “ will hold 250 locations”. If I gotta input data manually I don’t need it… Sorry for the short hand earlier been Geocaching for 6 years and thought it was clear what information I was seeking.. Thanks

Nov 14th, 2011 at 8:24:47 AM PST by

You have to input data manually.

Does it have an electronic compass, or does it only know the direction if you are moving?

Nov 16th, 2011 at 2:23:27 PM PST by

I believe its only when moving
