Navman Sport.Tool X300

**Basch** · 09-06-2007 05:49 AM

I was looking onto this GPS.

It's designed specificly for skiing and snowboarding use for mesuaring Downhill speeds.

One of our crew has the Hyking version and that doesn't calculate the altitude in the speeds. This one does.

Annny experience with it?

EURO 97 with shipping.

97 is not bad. It's 120 here at the shop with a good warrenty, Wich could be usefull

**Basch** · 09-07-2007 11:08 AM

I ordered the A300. Wich is basicly the same when it comes to speedmeasurements. The X300 can store more though. But that's not the most importatnt for me

**wefunk** · 09-07-2007 12:19 PM

yay! got mine today. will post review after testing.

**Basch** · 09-07-2007 01:08 PM

Great!

I'll get mine tomorrow or monday (delevery in holland is FAST) and I'll test it from the 22nd. when I'm in Limburg for a week

Dude, I had that one. But with the green cover.
Datadreamer also has one.

They are good, altough loose their signal often, and thus give non reliable speeds.

**Basch** · 09-07-2007 01:39 PM

the New A300 is supposed to have less signal loss because of the stronger reciever. We'll just ahve to see

**VAC** · 09-07-2007 01:46 PM

Oh, Didn't know this one was a newer version.
Anyway, now we have 2 GPS's, so the racing can commence

**Basch** · 09-07-2007 02:08 PM

I'm going to make a strap to put it on my front foot so I can rad it easier

And the new one has been out for about a month now, so it's still qu9ite new. the "old"one had a 0.9 km/h tolerance and the new one 0.3.
So not much of a differeceo. But I'm gonna sompare it with my brothers Garmin he uses for bush travel and such. Just to see how accurate it is.
After all, all we need is the speed

(mind you, his was almost 600€ so it's a pretty damn good unit)

**Basch** · 09-07-2007 02:31 PM

I could steal it. But it´s BIG! To big, it has maps of the amazon and stuff like that. And who needs damn maps

**VAC** · 09-07-2007 02:56 PM

**Justin Metcalf** · 09-07-2007 08:26 PM

Yeah dude...let us know how the new one works...might be something worth sticking on the X-mass list.

**goofy-foot** · 09-08-2007 11:07 AM

Hey! I wanna know how it works!

I used to sell the Navman A300's and every one I sold died about the same time as the first set of batteries. The screen started by showing half a screen and then that bit disappeared too. Every one was replaced under warantee, then second time I just refunded them and demanded the money back from Navman. I now sell the Garmin ones and the older Forerunners are the best (much faster than the new one).

Cheers

I just got a message that the A300 and X300 are out of stock and won't be in stock for a month or 2. Damned.

It's good in one way, I need new bearings and wheels annyway. But it suck in anouther way 'cause I really wanted to try my speed on my vacation.
