More in disguise.
What are you trying to say?
The number of posts has nothing to do with whether you know what you are talking about. You don't get the simple concept of ground speed air speed and the wind speed. Not only do you not under stand it, you refuse to learn when it is explained to you. There are that describe such attitude, but I shall not use them. :D

Back to GPS...What type of battery were you using? I used Energizer Lithium batteries in my Etrex Vista HCx and it lasted from DFW-ORD-FCO and for two days on the tour bus after that (with compass off). I would say that I got 32+hrs out of them. And the batteries are lightweight and resistant to cold!

In my eTrex Venture Cx, I use regular AA. It will last the whole trip to NRT, TPE, HKG, PVG, KLA or SIN with some on the ground use.

The FRA-SFO track I posted above was taken with an older Garmin eMap. It also use AA. The proprietary memory card has only about 128MB capacity. I left this unit in taxi's etc several times but was able to get it back. On that FRA-SFO trip, I had an exit row seat and placed it in plain view on the door window. FAs and passengers came and went and never said a thing the whole trip. Some took a look with interest.

While traveling in the U.S., I take a Garmin Quest. This unit has internal lithium rechargeable and I bring a car cradle. On the plane, it has a battery life of about 20 hours. This unit has non-removable internal memory of about 110MB.
