En el capítulo de hoy os hablo de: - Destarifos y disparates con las alarmas por inundación los pasados 4 y 5 de mayo aquí en el litoral norte de Alicante. - Primeros usos y primeras impresiones del GPS de mano Garmin eTrex 32x - https://www.garmin.com/es-ES/p/669215 Tras ver muchos vídeos, leer en foros, etc, me he decidido a comprar un GPS de mano de la prestigiosa marca de dispositivos de navegación Garmin, en concreto el Garmin eTrex 32x que tenéis ahora mismo con una oferta muy buena en la web de Garmin https://www.garmin.com/es-ES/p/669215 En la web podéis consultar también las características técnicas y la infinidad de funcionalidades que implementa. Debo citar obligatoriamente el Canal de Youtube Un poco de hobby, que tiene una lista de vídeos dedicada al Garmin eTrex 32x que es una auténtica maravilla. He aprendido muchísimo con este canal que podéis encontrar en https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkV6cjHEbmh3yWNECTlfvDme7YL5hvtIk Estoy muy contento con la compra de este dispositivo y le voy a sacar mucho jugo. Destaca por su tamaño compacto, su autonomía ininterrumpida de navegación de 25 h con dos pilas AA, su pantalla transflectiva, ranura microSD y por la precisión de su señal usando los satélites GPS y Glonass. Quiero hacer una mención especial al Paco Arévalo, que en el anterior audio, dedico su tiempo dejándome un comentario muy bueno en iVoox contando su experiencia con Wikiloc, diferentes dispositivos GPS y demás experiencias. ¡Gracias Paco! Como siempre, espero que os guste el audio y pido disculpas por la calidad del audio, que no es la mejor. Tengo que grabar con una funda de pelo para evitar que se cuele la brisa y demás ruidos molestos. ¡Un abrazo!

Welcome to this month's GPS Training podcast, it's our 17th episode. Today we have Andy and myself, Jon As always, we are streaming it live on Facebook. So if you want to see what we all look like take a look at our Facebook page Just search for GPS Training on Facebook and don't forget to ‘like' our page. So, without further ado let's get on with today's podcast …… It's our 17th podcast. In today's podcast we are going to look at the following – • Best budget GPS for Christmas • Geoffrey the Bot, all will become clear, I hope • 2018 Ordnance Survey mapping - Routable TOPO PRO • Online resource update – restructuring • Andy's Top Tips, both Garmin and SatMap • Download .gpx files - what's that about • And Finally, what piece of kit is on each of our Christmas lists 1. Best budget GPS for Christmas 2018 So, Andy, as we approach Christmas 2018 what is the best ‘budget' GPS unit. First of all I think we need to clarify, what's are we going to classify as a ‘budget GPS unit' – let's say - £350.00 or less - Garmin eTrex 20x with 3,000 sq km of mapping - more - Garmin eTrex 30x with 3,000 sq km mapping - more - Garmin eTrex Touch 25 with 3,000 sq km of mapping - more - Garmin eTrex Touch 35 with 3,000 sq km of mapping - more - eTrex Touch 25t with Discoverer 1:50k maps - more - eTrex Touch 25t with TOPO PRO 1:50k maps - more 2 – Geoffrey our GPS Training Bot This week we have launched ‘Geoffrey the GPS Training Bot'. We are currently showcasing him to the public as we are training him but in the next few weeks, he will find his final home inside the GPS Training online resource. Geoffrey the bot constantly analyses and catalogues any answers we email to customers and with a little bit of AI, its more learning and indexing rather than artificial Intelligence, but AI is the current buzz word, he will hopefully start to answer your GPS tech questions. We have all been very entertained in the last few days so please do give him a go and over time his knowledge will hopefully broaden as we add more data for him to draw from. To put Geoffrey the GPS Training Bot through his paces please click here and you will see Godfrey down the bottom left of our support portal. I hope you find him as entertaining as we have! 3 - 2018 Ordnance Survey mapping - Routable TOPO PRO, this is just for Garmin users. So Andy the TOPO Pro rears it's head again and 2018 map cards, can we clarify this for the final time? We are getting so many customers on the phone who, rightly, are totally confused by the different Ordnance Survey map options - Garmin Discoverer – 1:50k and 1:25k Garmin TOPO PRO – 1:50k and 1:25k Garmin Birdseye map download – 1:25k To find out more about any of these different map options please click here. SatMap Andy is a little more straightforward? Routable off-road data on a SatMap, how does that work and is it on all map types? And with SatMap we have three different Map options with GPS units – - 1:50k - 1:25k - Platinum To find out more about the mapping options please click here. 4 – Online resource update – restructuring - Firstly, Andy what is the GPS Training online resource? You can get to it by visiting our website – gpstraining.co.uk – and clicking on – online resource - And what have you been up to with the online resource over the past week? To access the online resource just go tour website – gpstraining.co.uk – and clicking on – online resource – on the top menu bar. The online resource is £50.00/ year or free for one year if you buy a GPS unit from GPS Training, please do support us here at GPS Training, I know many of you do but it does help to keep the Podcast on the air. 5.

Favorite movies include "Excalibur" and "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory."Our "Tip for the Seasoned Cacher" comes from Listener L&N Railroad:"Don't note cache problems in 'Found It' or 'Didn't Find It' logs. When a cache has a problem contact the owner directly, or use the 'Needs Maintenance' or 'Needs Archived' options to log the issue instead of noting the issue in a 'Found It' or 'Didn't Find It' log. Some cache hiders don't read found or DNF logs, and some cache owners are no longer active. It's not unusual to visit a cache with long string of Found It logs containing the message 'soggy log,' for example. If the cache needs work then post an additional Needs Maintenance log for this. If a cache has a serious problem then check to see if the owner is no longer active. If the owner's profile says that it has been years since they've visited Geocaching they're not active and the cache warrants a 'Needs Archived' log instead of 'Needs Maintenance.' In some cases active cachers don't maintain their hides so a string of ignored problems may warrant a 'Needs Archived' log after close examination. Finally, if a cache has serious ignored problems (especially safety issues) you should contact Geocaching directly."Show Sponsor: Twin Cities Geocaching PodcastContent Rating: CleanDate Recorded: July 10, 2009Show Notes: DarrylW4
