Hi folks, well, I've at last decided that the Magellan Pioneer just has to
go. Even after new batteries and complete re-initializing it took 25
minutes to take a fix. Even when then switched off and on again straight
away it took another five mins to take a fix in the exact same location -
and then the fix had shifted by 39 minutes further east, and then repeated
it took a further five minutes and shifted the fix again. It has to be
total b/s!! So, in the bin you rotten monster!!
Well, that makes me feel better.
Now, all you GPS geniusses, what sort of replacement would you recommend? I
guess a Garmin, but what model would you suggest for a frustrated birder
conceding that I have to spend around $500-600 for one that might work and
give me birding fixes in no more than a minute or so? What would you
suggest Mr Taylor?
Thank you.

There's nothing quite like the feeling of seeing a new bird is there?
