Ha - you're right. Kinda like what happened to SUVs once they were discovered by the soccer moms. It just doesn't seem right that you can use your GPS to find the nearest mall. I don't know what chipset the V has but that shouldn't be a problem with the newer devices. I get clear signals in...

Thanks guys. I am looking at the 80 series as well. My wife would really like to see me bring home an LR3, but then, I would never get to drive it. She won't want anything to do with an old weekend/trip rig, and then she won't notice all the money I put into it.

Shhhh... Don't tell the guys on the Rover forum, but I'm thinking of buying a Cruiser. As I long time Rover guy I've always ignored Cruisers the best I could but everywhere I go it seems I see a 60 that looks to be in great shape and I love the body style. I've been all over the map as to...

The Garmin 60 and Nuvi series are always good options. Since you don't plan on hiking with it, the choice usually comes down to screen size and interface preferences. 60 - smaller screen, and buttons. Nuvi - larger screen and touch. The 276 and x78 series are also good if you want a...

A loaded Sportsmobile (similar to the one profiled in OJ) at half the cost and twice the MPG. This is a dream, right?

That is great advice for everyone. ATMs work great and typically get you the best exchange rate. Just stock up on local currency in the bigger towns. Definitely notify you bank and credit card companies of your travels. I forgot to notify one card and realized it after I tried to pay for our...

Thanks for asking this, since I'm going through the same thing. I am planning a couple of trips to Baja and then further south and it's at the point now that I don't trust my aging Land Rover beyond local trips. I am going back and forth between a Toyota and an X. If I get the X I would like...

I must say that after using the touchscreen on my Garmin Oregon 400t and Nuvi 760, I have a hard time looking at a device that has buttons if it doesn't have any additional features that I may want. The touchscreen just works so well and is very fast to navigate. I'll still want to take a...

Thanks. Now that my new computer is up and running, I'll give the demo a try.

I thought I was the only one intrigued by this bike. Unfortunately, it is at about number 3 on my list so I most likely won't get one. It is more of a tourer and no 1,2 for me are more dirt oriented.

I know there are a couple of people here that use this software. What are you thoughts on it?

I recently got the Garmin Oregon 400t. It is expensive but works great. The touchscreen is incredibly fast to navigate. I also got a Nuvi 760 for the car. After spending a week in a Hertz rental with thier frustrating GPS, I wouldn't go back to a non-touch screen device. It's the same as an...

I would love to, but between my son's baseball and basketball there is no way I can make it. Waves will be huge on Sat as a new swell peaks during the day.

I don't have a syncro, but I do have a blue '80 Westy. It can be seen at 4-mile, Hook parking lot, and other SC surf spots. At least until I sell it. After 12 years of ownership, I think I'm about to put it up for sale. Of course I've been saying that for years now, so who knows.

It refreshing to hear someone say that new vehicles can actually be better than older ones. I get a little tired of the "technology is the devil" arguments at times. I have a hard time giving up my D1 because of the Funk Factor, but I must admit (and I'll probably take a lot of crap for this)...

That I agree with. Once we got ours sorted out, it's been great.

The first thing to learn about Rovers is that the word dependable cannot be used in the same sentence as Rover, unless the word not is precedes it. Once your mindset is correct, you will then be happy with the times that it is sorta dependable and not so dissappointed when you're fixing it...

Please, please, please!! We all have our fingers crossed on this one.

I think every surfer knows Lola. Although isn't she down the road at Avallanas, not Negra? We didn't anything serious like you. Our rental 4x4 was the ubiquitous RAV4. We beat the crap out of it and it ran strong. The dirt roads in CR are great. Rather than dig a ditch to put in a drainage...

So, it wasn't exactly an expedition, but I leveraged a recent business trip to London to at least make it a little expedition related. Since this was my first trip to London I hit the typical tourist sites but added the following: 1) Greeenwich, of course. It was pretty cool for a GPS geek...
