Garmin 12XL Old Style Modern Function
Review of Garmin GPS 12XL by simbar21

Advantages: all
Disadvantages: none

I have 5 GPS, but Garmin 12XL is my favourite GPS, i use this GPS for adventure, BTS waypoint marking, survey, use in motobike & car. I I always carry a GPS 12XL, everywhere, and if I find a place Point of Interest I turn on this GPS to mark waypoint. GPS 12XL is very heavy duty of the body, and the signal from and from the weather. My GPS 12XL several times fall from motobike and my pocket, but I do not find the problem, which means allowing it ...
...to facilitate my work in the jungle. If my position under canopy tree i don't find the problem to recieve signal. To prevent the use of GPS 12Xl always use this durable rubber softcase and use of anti-stroke. GPS overall is very satisfactory. I'm ready to buy this type of return if the GPS 12 XL damaged. ...
