Larrys ePlug!

I received my geko today UPS BLUE from Kansas from the coolest Garmin dealer, TVNAV.COM located near Garmin USA headquarters. I had no clue it was so tiny. It's so small it looks like a toy. Power is 2 AAA battries for 12 hours use. It's back-lite is a nice green. I took it on my 2.4 mile walk today and can tell you it is just totally amazing and fun! Be sure to get the geko 201, not the 101 because the 101 does not have a connector and cannot be upgraded, and cannot be powered externally, and cannot be used to feed position data to your camera/phone/PDA/laptop/desktop. However, unlike the 101, the 201 has the much needed connector, and it's not just any connector, it's the perfect one for the plugs we make here in a little shop in the woods next to a river! You can see the location in this photo I took after my walk today, accurate to 17 FEET, standing amound 120 feet high pine and fir trees!

Last week I walked with a new eTrex Ledgend, wow the case is beautiful transparent sparkling blue (we should make some e2Plugs to match), and the week before a new Rino 310, and before a Rino 110, and before that a eMap, and before that a GPS III, and before that a GPS-45 my first GPS, it was about 1995. Very fun times, the year I got my first digital camera, the Casio QV10 for only $900. ($25 on eBay now) but it turned heads in 1995. No one had ever seen a digital camera. It was very fun to travel and show people and everyone was just amazed and asked lots of questions... and always "how much does it cost?".

Not this excited since my first GPS. Why? Just another GPS, not as many features as others (though some very neat new ones I've never seen before). It must be the size, the weight, the functionallity, the ease of use, the size -- I know I said the size already, but man, you've got to see it. No, not see it but hold it in your hand. And walk with it. It goes places no other GPS has gone before. In my head band! It would velcro to the sholder of my jacket. It's reception is awesome! My walk is up a gravel road one mile from 1000 feet to 1500 feet with mountians on all sides in a tall dense pine and fir forest! The geko did as well, could it be better?

Ardel and I are driving to Bend tomorrow to pick up an ultralight aircraft I bought on eBay day before yeseterday, AND we will visit Rocket Guy (Brian Walker) at his new space port!. Be back soon and will get to work on some geko products. This little GPS is a winner. Like GRMN! I love winners.
