Loss Of Hearing After Ear Infection

card installation

On Sunday I started various card to transfer to the Garmin. As I by 60 he was accustomed, I wanted to transfer all at once. This would lasted about 6 hours.
So first the Topo 2010 and the Netherlands Wandelkaart using the card reader to transfer the 4 GB SD card. After 3 hours, noticed that the Garmin can not use the cards. Maps stood locked.
tried the whole with a small portion of the card via the USB port. As was the card. So
transferred in the early hours of Monday, the two cards via USB port on the Garmin. This morning, everything went fine.
Then in the evening the OSM map transferred to the internal memory of the Garmin and it is running smoothly.
This combination is sufficient for my needs caching well.
to the way a bike mount searched for the 62s. The original bracket for Dakaota would fit as well. But € 13 for those cheap solution with cable ties did not seem appropriate.
So just researched something on ebay and ordered a bracket
for 10 € from China. Clearly builds on more than the original holder, but I have given you a carabiner and a lanyard to it. This saves me the trouble of changing the keeper at each station.
When is there will tell whether the works. Today

then a GSAK Macro found that supports the GPX export to the GPS62.

Garmin GPSMAP 62 s fun

came Today, the new GPSmap 62 on s. Besetllt I had last week at Navifuture. The first attempt for on-the-trail because they failed me after receiving the payment told to deliver until Monday. Funny because the stock was. At least I got a day later after 2 calls the money.
Navifuture sent out the thing on Thursday immediately.
Well DHL needed then by three day had to be there.
So this morning, unpacked, played up the topo map. Here, the USB 2.0 degree is much faster than the old one from the 60s. When there was non keien GSAK settings for the GPS 62nd So just tested the Dakota 20 settings. This went without problems and the first 15 were in the GPS cache.
had in a video I saw the the GPS62 has a split screen.
I found it after 10 Map minutes - Menu and data fields, there on display and then placed on Geocaching in the manual was nothing. This is the best innovation compared with the GPS 60 Csx. At last, compass, distance to destination and the map on a display.
The information about the caches can also be found very easily. Just click on Find and select Geocache. Once a cache is selected on the Select Page button Geocache and after 2 seconds dive into the fields for cache description, last logs, hints and other fields.
get used to very quickly.
After the most important functions were learned, put into the car and drove 30 km to the cache.
There, the GPSMAP 60 CSX GPSMAP 62s and at the same time on. Both were nearly the same time ready to go. At the first waypoint both units were 3 m apart. Both about the same distance away the can. The first major difference came to light on a hill. By the 3 axis compass, the 62s has much better direction. At the next box, the '62 was thus significantly more than the 60 he.
The display can also be seen better and the track history can be seen clearly.
Both multinationals, we have found good.
The GPSmap 62 s unit was already making fun.
morning then I test the behavior with different cards. Currently, I transfer the City Navigator and Topo 2010 on the Specherkarte. Here the reader is always faster than the USB port.

cache If the pirates go

In a blog on it I became aware that offers the pirate party Geocaching .
Besides, I think it's pretty stupid, if parties go geocaching hunt for votes, the report's funny. Since
is written by professional geocachers. Where they come from and what merit ;-)
What really made me suspicious was the sentence "Who did not test before, what their own GPS or GPS-enabled mobile phone hergibt?"
A party who acts rightly fell against government surveillance campaigns, indirectly, for the use of GPS enabled mobile phones. Since there are state agencies, with Access to the phone, very easy to create motion profiles.
