Are all of your friends sporting a GPS unit, yet you are still trying to use a magnetic compass? It's time to get out of the stone age, and enter the digital age. Backcountry Secrets is giving away a Garmin eTrex GPS Adventure Pack.
There are literally hundreds of things you can do with a GPS unit. In case you really do not know, here are just a few of those things:
- Get lost and then find yourself.
- Know when that exit is coming up on the interstate.
- Track every step of your life.
- Estimate arrival times.
- Let the cops know that you REALLY were not speeding and have proof!
- Find cool stuff on web sites like Backcountry Secrets or Geocaching.
- Remember where that great fishing hole is.
- Know when the sun will rise and set.
- Locate your Grandma's grave site that you only visit once in a blue moon.
- Strap it to the dog and prove to the neighbors that those really are not your puppies.
- Go golfing and determine distance to the hole.
- Determine your speed on the ski hill.
- And best of all, have fun with your kids!
We are accepting entries until October 31, 2008. There are some official rules and such we had to write up, but if you live in the US or Canada, head on over to Backcountry Secrets and submit a point for your chance to win. The more you submit, the better your odds! All I have to say is, if you win, you better use it because this used up all of our revenue from 2007 and then some...
