    Compact GPS

    If to serve in your car as well, your phone probably is the best way to go. I use Garmin's GpsMap range since many years for hiking, but a that small screen (compared to smartphones) would not exactly be user friendly whilst driving a car. The nowadays phone apps are great, but I still...

    Yes We Canyons - an overlanding trip in spanish mountains

    Nice video and great pictures :-) Those mountains roads are often a bit scary - I've always been wondering what to do in case of upcoming traffic, or a road block. Going backwards for miles is not particularly something to look forward to... Does surprise me how many of those abandoned villages...

    Winch Security

    Many years back, there was a pick on 4x4 vehicles down here. Many owners found all of their tires stabbed. I'm - with the groups concerned about the environment more radicalizing - this, or something similar will return. Those who are picky on a 4x4 - or on any other kind of vehicle for what it...

    Snatch block principles

    Smarter everyday made a nice video on snatch blocks. Might help people to understand the benefit of those, and how they can be used.

    Best Budget/Used Nav System for Beginner

    Hmm, had a Garmin GpsMap 60, a 62, now a 64, and do not encounter the problems you folks seem to have with the Montana. Difference might be in the antenna type/size though, a feature put in the spotlight when it comes to the GpsMap range, but not even mentioned for the Montana. As for driving...

    Looking at nav-com handhelds. Need opinions/reviews.

    My own Garmin experiences so far are to wait a bit with a purchase until all - at least most - of the bugs are out... I've had and have multiple handheld (and other) Garmin devices, currently a GpsMap 64 for outdoor use, but the 64 was one I did wait with to purchase until a while on the market...

    garmin basecamp what car mounted gps type device can i use?

    Menu > settings > screen, to adjust your screen settings. You can connect the device to a usb port. How long the batteries can pull it, will be depending on type used, and internal settings.

    Overland Bound / Overlanders Bond

    Digging up a somewhat older thread, if I'm allowed... Things changes, and not only the car one travels with. I grew up with maps, got lost dozens of times, whether on the road, or in the mountains/woods. You stopped people, or pulled over, had to ask for info and directions, ask for a place to...

    I've been not around for quite some time - since 2016 actually - and cool to see more than 20.000 people joined, and received this beautiful emblem, still the nicest and cool emblem to this date (imo) :sunglasses: A picture from memory lane :grinning:
