"Hollie and her Geko"
Hi,
I just want to say I have a great time with your
Garmin products. Over a year ago, I purchased an eTrex and
had great fun collecting
waypoints all around the island of Jersey in the Channel Islands
where I live. When I showed the eTrex to my brother, he was
hooked and never gave it back! I then graduated to a GPS 76,
which has
always been accurate and reliable.
Just recently, I purchased a Geko 101 for my
9-year-old daughter. This seemed to be an easy way of introducing
her to
navigation
and have a bit of fun at the same time. Thinking that she may
have problems understanding how to use the unit, I was prepared
for some frustrations. How silly I was! In about 20 minutes,
she was working the unit like she had used it for weeks! Thank
you, Garmin, for producing a product that is so easy to use,
with a minimal number of buttons. It's light in weight and small
enough for tiny hands and pockets. And water resistant—what
a bonus.
She was soon inputting longitude and latitude
waypoints I had previously stored in my GPS 76, and then reading
route directions
to me while I drove the car, the Geko always being accurate.
We now have games navigating to locations in our local park—a
kind of "find the treasure" game. Most of the time
I am too slow. She seems to be always tapping her feet and whistling
when I finally get there.
There is a bigger reason for me purchasing the
Geko for my daughter. I am a single parent and would die if anything
happened to her.
We are soon going on holiday to the U.S.A., and it is a big and
unfamiliar place with large amusement parks. With the Geko, I
can have the peace of mind that she will know where she is, where
she should not be, and be able to make her way back home.
I am looking forward to purchasing the Forerunner.
Having a GPS on your wrist at an affordable price—I can't
wait.
Thanks for producing great GPS products.
