Hello to all you ATV enthusiasts, My name is Rod Baker. From time to time I will be adding a few technical tidbits for those of you who like to tinker with your outdoor gear. Be it for your ATV or maybe a GPS unit.
One of my goals will be to map out the trails we ride on my GPS. (Garmin) My goal is to have these trails available on the website for download. (Hopefully in the future we can have downloads for the different brands of GPS units.) This will allow you to retrace trails that we have ridden and also you will have an idea of what the trail will be like. As an example, we normally have our kids with us on our rides, and we don’t want to ride on trails that may become to difficult for them to handle. On the other hand we may want to tackle harder trails too.
One issue that is overlooked is how to get your ATV to your riding site. We usually travel in our Motorhomes pulling a trailer behind it. Be sure to check back frequently as we will explain how we like to travel with and without our RVs.
As always we would love to hear from anyone who has an interest in ATVs as we do.
See ya on the trails.
Rod

LOOKING FOR A GREAT GPS UNIT TO TAKE ON YOUR TRAIL RIDES.
I HAVE HAD MANY GPS UNITS IN THE PAST YEARS. (I AM A GADGET NUT) AS SOON AS A NEW VERSION
OR AN UPGRADE IS AVAILABLE I BUY IT.
MY NEWEST UNIT IS A GARMIN GPSMAP 60CSx RETAIL ABOUT $450.00
THOUGH NOT CHEAP THIS UNIT HAS IT ALL. COLOR DISPLAY IS BRIGHT AND CLEAR ,EASY TO USE
BUTTONS,(EVEN WITH GLOVES ON), GREAT RECEPTION DUE TO THE LATEST SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY.
IF YOU BUY THE CITY MAPS YOU CAN EVEN USE IT IN YOUR CAR. BATTERY LIFE IS SUPER, USED IT
NON- STOP FOR 3 DAYS.
I BOUGHT A SPECIAL MOUNT FOR MY ATV HANDLE BARS. UNFORTUNATELY, I WILL HAVE TO FIND MY
PAPER WORK TO FIND OUT WHO MADE IT. IT WORKS GREAT . IT EASY TO SEE AND EASY TO REMOVE.
BOTTOM LINE GET A GPS. THE BACKTRACKING FEATURES WILL KEEP YOU FROM EVER GETTING LOST.
THIS IS JUST ONE UNIT THOUGH AND I’M SURE OTHER BRANDS ARE ALSO VERY GOOD.
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANY ONE WHO HAS A GARMIN OR ANY OTHER BRAND,
LET’S TALK TECH.
MOUNTS FOR THE GARMIN GPS 60 SERIES CAN BE PURCHASED FROM GARMIN. (GARMIN.COM) THE
HANDLE BAR MOUNT WORKS WELL.
