On The Bench: Magellan eXplorist GC GPS Receiver

[Guest]

Hasn't anyone ever told you that it's not healthy to sit in front of a computer all day? We're setting down the graphics cards, picking up the newest GPS sent in from Magellan, and introducing you to geocaching--treasure hunting for explorers.

reminds me of an episode of numbers.... sounds like it might be cool though. i might just have to give it a try.

Title of the article tells me there will be comparison charts, graphs, stats etc.. "on the bench"... the article, however, offers none of those. Instead we get a vague personal point of view. Same as the Corsair's headset "review". Not impressed Tom, not impressed.

My parents have been caching for a few years now.. They have 1300+ finds in 12 states and 5 countries.. Im taking them to the airport this morning and they are flying to Germany.. My sister just had her first baby, but they are going to take a few days to drive around Europe again and do some more caching.. I think they are going to Belgium and Luxembourg this time and I think they are going back to the Netherlands and France so they can get 5 in each country..

i am really more interested in about why Nvidia 400 series video cards are still being bottlenecked at below 256bit bus speed, also talk to AMD about what their take on bus speed below Nvidia's 320/448/512 bit restriction is doing for their products?

inquiring Tom's readers want to know

@ f-14, are we reading an article of graphics cards ? 😛

well anyways, tommy, why arent we seeing this month's best card for the money article?

Interesting. My sister and her family have a lot of fun doing this. I will send this to them.

Cmon squally - not another best card for the money article - doesnt anyone ever buy one and move on?

Ummm is this a geo-caching recruiting article or some sort of comparison? I dont think this really belongs on TH. Now maybe if there was a FPS comparison of a 3d world simulation of geocaching - that might be interesting....

peace

lil odd and out of left field.. but interesting, sounds like a fun hobby. i'm glad i read it and learned about geocaching, muight try to pick one up and set a few caches around a few historical landmarks in my area to teach people about the many old forts and parks

 

[squallypie]

vvhocare, sometimes its just nice to know which card is at the top right now. i've got a new card recently so im not ready buy another one within some time soon.

builders on the other hand build computers all the time so they can choose the best card depending on the budget a customer has offered them.

This sounds like a great idea. I'm sold.
