[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:19:41 02/15/04 Sun Author Host/IP: NoHost/212.141.96.81 In reply to: fabio 's message, "gps" on 10:37:32 02/05/04 Thu Sono un gps-deluso (ho un garmin e-trex versione base - quello giallo) la presenza di zone d'ombra soprattutto nelle aree montane (ad esempio a ridosso di un costone che oscura il satellite) o boscose rende il gps inaffidabile come mezzo di orientamento (come suggerisce la stessa casa costrutrice); ancora più grave il fatto che le indicazioni dei sentieri sulle mappe (soprattutto le mappe cai) sono spesso puramente indicative e comunque non sufficientemente precise per usare il gps: spesso si localizza il punto ma il sentiero non c'e' e bisogna cercarlo secondo una logica tradizionale... Insomma se fai escursionismo in posti diversi dal deserto del sahara non ti aspettare troppo dal gps, meno che mai da un modello ultra-compatto...
