You do not need anything else. It tracks on its own. You just need to pay the annual fee. I think it is $25 a year and first year included in purchase.

You will need a separate gps to direct you. It has no screen or voice guidance. Periodically pull unit and hook up to computer. It will upload data to webpage that gives mileage driven and where. I just use it to keep hours and to verify work for a sweeper truck each night.

It is independent. Just plug into your car and drive. After a few months, plug into the computer.

Hi Patrick, You need absolutely nothing. All you need is a power/ cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle the unit you receive simply plugs into that and there is a wee light that tells you that is connected to the satellites. It is by far the most simple thing to use. i truely love this thing and i know you will too.

I would not use the Garmin's monitor feature. I use Polar's "F" series they are accurate and dependable. I have been using thgem since late 1999 and have founbd them to be the best on the market.

Idk if this helps. I have 10-18 stops per day that I need to fallow in order, ive sinked my android phone with the garmin and just type them in one by one, the garmin asks to add this to the route. Only problem there is is with some gps locations are not accurate thus once u arrive to ur destination it goes and calculates the next destination. Not a perfect thing, but if u dont know where u are it helps a lot, especially with truck restrictions

Yes. GPS feature is available if you want to use it and turn it off when you don't want to use it on your recordings.

Good question. I have never tried it but don't see why it would not work. As long as the ipilot is on and operating to allow the GPS function to trace the track. Next time out I'm going to try it.

I've used my GPS quite a bit and the battery is still going strong. I turn it on just before I head into the woods to mark my starting point and then turn it off. When I'm ready to head back to my truck or camo I turn it back on and follow the arrow home.. so it's not like the unit is on the entire time I'm in the woods. Hope this helps you out.

As far as I know, the unit logs only the GPS location with a certain interval based on user settings. The individual GPS points registered are used to plot a track, and by that, the movement of the user can be seen. Motion, other than the movement based on the track log can not be identified. The vibration sensor is a.f.a.I k. only used to wake the unit from "sleep mode" - a power saving feature, and is not related to any data collection.

The included GPS records a table with time and location at regular intervals. I can't tell you about the resolution.

Yes, you can track where you are going. Push the menu button until you get to the options screen, there is an icon labelled Tracks. Select it and at the top of the tracks menu there is a tracking on/off button, highlight the on option and hit enter. It will record your tracks. When you're done go back into the tracks menu and turn tracking off and SAVE IT, it will save the tracks and give you the option to name it or change the colour of the tracks. If you turn the gps off and restart it in a different location with tracking still on it will snap a line from your last known point to where you reacquired a signal. After you save your tracks you can clear the memory to make room for other tracks, just DON'T DELETE THE SAVED FILE. I've noticed when you save your tracks it will sometimes straighten out your tracks and make it more linear that what was originally recorded, so be careful. I've also used a garmin colorado 400t, the tracks on that are way more detailed, so you may want to consider getting one of those, but it's not as rugged as the 76csx and it's a bit less user friendly. Hope that helps.

Yes I believe it is very important. We live in a very wooded area and often cannot locate the garmin. Our cell phone reception is not always good either. Hope this helps.

I don't see any reference to GPS in the instruction manual or about GEO tagging

Any app that requires GPS will work. No problem using it with the native Maps app or Google Maps. Pls note that I had problems with this particular device and replaced it with the Dual Electronics XGPS 150 which works well.

No however you do not get real time tracking, the unit has to be placed in or on the vehicle and then removed and information downloaded post journey.It seems the most reasonable item out there for the money, i.e. once you have paid for it that's it. It does burn through batteries and if the batteries fail half way through a trip then you seem to lose the rest of the data. It works for us doing random vehicle tracking on day journeys, it may not work if used for a several day road trip.

Thanks a lot. It's helpful but I already bought it. I want it for trekking and have never owned a GPS of any sort before so I suspect I'm in for a lesson or two! i guess I'll return it if it doesn't measure up.

Yes. Most times you will have the gps function off because otherwise you would run through batteries very quickly. The GPS function is something I use sparingly. It will attach a lat and long to a photo - but also very cool, it can create a log of points if you are on a hike, for instance, which you can then download and plot. It's not something you would use all the time, but it does have it's uses.The menus are very easy to use and access and turning this function on and off is easy to access.

Thanks for telling me that. I haven't used the GPS much after that time. I think I need to read the manual when I have time. :)
