Two GPS units for sale

I've got two GPS units for sale, both in excellent shape.

First one is a Garmin Geko 201, a very small unit perfect for paragliding or as a backup unit for hang gliding. It records in 3D (i.e. it records your altitude as well as position) and has room for 10,000 track-log points (that's enough for an 8-hour flight at 3-second intervals). It goes aboout 12 hours on 2 AAA cells. I'll throw in a neck lanyard and a waist clip for it, and an adaptor for a handlebar mount. You can get full specs here.

Price $100 Cdn.

Second one is a Garmin eTrex Vista, only slightly larger than the Geko, but with a higher resolution screen. It also records in 3D with 10,000 track-log points. But it has glide-angle software, so you can tell how well you're gliding and what the required L/D is to your goal. It also has a barometric altimeter and a digital compass which is very handy when you trying to find your way out of the woods after landing out! It goes about 12 hours on 2 AA cells. I'll throw in a padding waist-clip / carrying case, and an adapter for a handlebar mount, as well as a USB download cable. You can get full specs here.

Price $160 Cdn.
