cheers guys

Bryce,
save yourself a lot of pain and frustration and get a Navi GT-31. Locosys through Dr Chalko and the Mt Best site are supporting the GPS speedsailing scene and have developed firmware on their GPSes that work.
Plenty of guides on how to setup. No pain in transferring data. No pain in reading data. The Navis do the job. Once they are setup its so easy.
Navis are considered to be more accurate in their timings using dopler too.
If you're dead set on saving money then you might be able to pick up a secondhand NAVI GT-11 (previous model to the GT-31) for not much cash, but I second Moby's comments.
You will be a lot happier with a NAVI, I promise!
the forerunner does not measure speed in knots.
i have a foretrex 101, the main problem i have with it is the limited storage.
when set to record at 2 second intervals its probably good for between 6-10hours which can be annoying if you are going away for a few days.
fair enough! thanks guys.
is anyone willing to part with their navi for a fee?
thanks :)

yeah mate it already comes with a aquapac a 1gig and 2gig sd cards.
when are you guys coming to have a run on botany bay?
Tuesday arvo is looking good for a sail.
Kyeemagh (sthn end) for a run out to "the snake"
it was already set up! fortunately. this thing is complicated.
i took it out on my skiff today and managed 14 knots in about 12 knots of breeze so cant really complain!
