GPS Kids | Garmin in action: Your pictures are worth a thousand words

Among the many emails we get each day from delighted Garmin users, some just beg to let the pictures do the talking. So here are a few recent notes and images sent our way. The first comes from Runner’s World favorite and Forerunner fan John “The Penguin Bingham, who travels long distances to run long distances. “Thought you’d get a kick out of this,” John wrote. “We’re marking and measuring the course for the Antarctic Marathon on King George Island using a 205! We had others, all Garmins, but that little thing worked GREAT.”

Then there’s this one, from Ruane C in Waltham, MA, who caches under the screen name of Findit and showcases his Garmin pride everywhere he travels: “Hi there…I am the proud user/owner of a Garmin Vista HCX and a couple of other Garmin devices used on a regular basis while running, biking and just cruising around…..I use my Vista primarily for Geocaching, but also for occasional hike assistance. I thought I would send you this picture of my Massachusetts Geomobile…you may get a laugh out of it.”

And finally, Pamela C. from Billings, MT, who caches under the name Freedancer, sent us a few fun photos with captions: “Hello Garmin! I am sending you a couple of pictures of my eTrex Vista C on the road with me. We made a Geo-Jaunt down to Casper Wyoming and had a blast with my eTrex and 60CX. Hope you enjoy them. There is one from the Platte river in Casper WY and three from the interpretive center located up on the hill.”
