Do these GPS work while riding in a vehicle on back country trails???

Sure does. Once of the features that sold me is that it does well and it is a very rugged unit.

Mine works in cars, on bicycles, on foot in heavy cover and in boats. I have not tried in canyons or in large cities. I expect there to be some coverage breaks in canyons and cities.

While heavy tree cover can impact the accuracy of the positioning values, you will be able to get a signal in most cases. The clearer view of the sky and the wider angle of the clear sky, the more accurate your positioning will be.

Yes. It will work while you are in a vehicle on the trails. I have used it to get to GPS locations off of streets in the middle of nowhere.

I purchased a gps long ago and I'm very satisfied with it, I DON'T UNDERSTAND why you sent me this email asking me about this nonsense question, I sent positive feed back a few days after a started using the device, so please double check on your emails, it may be a mistake in your behalf. Thank you. !

No. They are just for making a waypoint. When you get within distance, your GPS will pick up the signal and give you whatever info is programmed into it.

Yes, they work in water and terrain. I've purchased several of them over the years

Hi Brian - I do not know anything about the software side of things. i just got them and will most likely never use them. I didn't have much luck with them getting more than 200ft in the woods. If i could go back i wouldn't buy them again.

Not with this device. They might have a three wire version, try calling the seller. There are plenty of other GPS devices that hardwire into the vehicle or work on batteries.

Are you saying that you know this model has been made to not work (believable) or are you saying GPS, in general, does not work in planes (which would be wrong, this I am sure of.)

These are used in a hilly wooded area. I have not tried them past 2 miles and I have not used them in open areas.

On the sensors I've put in the ground they seem to work fine in the snow. The transmitting part of the unit is mounted above ground, like on a fence post. On my personal ones (I use two) the sensors are mounted on the fences down low while the transmitters are mounted high. You can always adjust the sensitivity of the sensor. Highly recommended system.... especially if 911 is an hour away!

Good question. I have never tried it but don't see why it would not work. As long as the ipilot is on and operating to allow the GPS function to trace the track. Next time out I'm going to try it.

I've never had trouble with the accuracy of distance. Only if you ride in a very wooded and hilly area, might that ever happen. It's never happened with me and my unit. Garmin makes very high quality product.

If your referring to the navigation function it works on both presuming you have downloaded the waypoints. I use on both my mountain and road bike and mountain bike and it works great.

The chirp works only with Garmin products, even then only certain Garmins. Here is a Web link of compatible devices: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/shop-by-accessories/geocaching/chirp-/prod74811.html

No, this gps never worked. It is a bad gps. I throw it in the trash. I dont recomend it.

You need to have the GPS turned on, If the camera is wired right with the back up lights, the camera will work in reverse gear.

I see no reason why they wouldn't work on back wheel drive. As long as they are placed at the drive wheels, no matter what end, and kicked into place well they should work. Sometimes it makes more sense to go backward than forward, it depends on the situation. If you try one direction and it's not working, try the opposite way.

no, don't think so......this is set up to work with Garmin BaseCamp (can d/l at Garmin.com)....software is used to move wpts around on BC, I think I am right......to many sw's out there....wc
