It’s our 28th podcast.
In today’s podcast we ……
1. So Ian, it’s the start of November and here we go, we start the build up to Christmas, in the next few minutes we are going to look at some of te must have things we would have on our Christmas lists.
eTrex 22x and 32x (you could get both of these with Birdseye Plus Vouchers)
Touch 25 (you could also get this with Birdseye Plus Voucher
and of course the Touch 35, which sadly with a Birdseye Plus voucher would push it over the £300.00 ceiling.
Oregon 700 with TOPO PRO 1:50k/ Birdseye Plus Voucher
GPSMAP66s with TOPO PRO 1:50k/ Birdseye Plus Voucher
GPSMAP66i, with just the TOPO ACTIVE maps would also just sneak into this bracket by 1p.
SatMap Active 20 with 1:50k maps
Best Accessories for those already got a Garmin handheld GPS unit, lets put a budget on this, lets sat £25.00 and think of a practical accessory (which you would buy for yourself) and that accessory you may ask someone to buy for you, maybe less practical but good fun.
And then moving onto GPS Watches – Now I think watches are going to be the big thing this Christmas, I know many of our listeners are handheld users but who does not want a smart GPS watch on your wrist
In this category we have only got a couple of watches –
Anything else we have mentioned that you would upgrade, purchase, maps, inReach Mini’s, Power packs, Solar panel chargers
And if you want to find out more about some of the products we have discussed go to gpstraining.co.uk – click on – GPS Store on the top menu – then – on the left-hand side you will see the different categories for the products we have discussed
2 – The next thing we look at on this month’s Podcast is a look at the all new 86s and 86i
GPSMAP® 86s – Marine Handheld Preloaded With Worldwide Basemap
If you want to find out more about some of the all new GPSMAP86s and 86i go to gpstraining.co.uk – click on – GPS Store on the top menu bar.
4 – Ian’s FAQ’s
– Garmin GPS
A quick discussion about keeping the GPS’s updated as I’ve had a few queries from customers this month about the unit not working as expected, shutting down or freezing and then on to Factory Resetting the GPS/even re downloading the same software version.
To make note of using the Webupdater as opposed to Garmin Express (I think we touched on this in an earlier Podcast?).
– SatMap
No queries all month…..are you happy to leave it at that?
– Wearables
iOS 13 update and the issue with notifications.
There’s a lot about the recent iOS update on the Garmin Support page
Plus, I found that at some point over the last month, a Garmin Connect app update or the iOS update deactivated the settings in Garmin Connect for my watch as opposed to on the watch or within Notifications in the main iPhone settings.
Don’t forget we have lots of tips and solutions to your questions in the GPS Training online resource – go to – gpstraining – click on – online resource – on the top menu bar – and then log in – select your unit and you will see the top tips for that unit down at the bottom of the menu of units.
