Re: [RC] [RC] GARMIN GPSHR 301 Equine - April

Cool, Roger! Glad you got a chance to try the unit out. I really like
it (obviously!).

I know that the unit only has 14 hours on a charge, but it does charge
quite quickly. There are 2 options for charging during vet checks. The
first option is a laptop computer. Hardly practical for all,
especially at away vet checks.

The second option is inexpensive and should work very well. It is a
battery extender for USB-powered electronics. Basically, it is a box
that takes AA batteries and you plug the USB cable into the box. Could
work on the horse if you don't wear the unit on your wrist, but I
really only would use it at vet checks. If you charge every vet check,
the battery should last the entire 100. Maybe somebody could test my
theory as I haven't done a 100.

Here is one. http://store.yahoo.com/semsons-inc/batexwitusb.html or

Can do a search on google or eBay to find others.

I've been accused of being a gadget person. I just don't see where
people get that impression.

FYI
I have been testing the G301 for the past 2 days.
I have not placed any comments on my web site. Details forth-coming.
After evaluation of the G301 and my testing to date as well as other
riders testing the unit (April).. add to that the number of riders who
have asked  for me to offer the unit with the adapter kit installed, I
have decided to offer the G301 HRGPS Equine System
