What features do you use besides current speed and top speed with your gps? | | | Re: Garmin Foretrex 201 gps

Roanoke Island ,N.C. | VMG is way more important than speed. Track and bearing are good too. Same info in a different package.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.

What features do you use besides current speed and top speed with your gps? When to make a left turn... I've got the old GPS replay from Velocitek that allows you to load in several GPS trails from different boats and replay races on the computer. The new replay by Velocitek is very cool but I believe it only reads Velocitek products now.

France | I've got the old GPS replay from Velocitek that allows you to load in several GPS trails from different boats and replay races on the computer. The software you talk about is called "GPS Action Replay", there are two versions: a free one (the one distributed by Velocitek) and a commercial one. It's a really powerful piece of software, but the UI is awful... | | | Re: Garmin Foretrex 201 gps

| When to make a left turn... THAT EXPLAINS IT! I was wondering why i could only turn right... it sure makes getting back to the beach a challenge sometimes...! | | |
