I don't use it for ages, decide to go for an all dayer around an area I don't really know that well and the damned thing goes into hiding.

If you see a bright yellow Garmin GPS down the back of your sofa or behind the fridge it is probably mine!

Failing that, if I lent it to one of you then I have forgotten but please can I have it back for the weekend.

Cheers

Did you really need GPS to find the sofa and fridge 😉

Your sofa, not mine, so yes.

I have already checked mine obviously. 😉

I've got a basic yellow etrex with a bike mount sat on my desk doing nothing if you want a borrow of one. Email in profile.

I guess I will use my phone.

I just wonder where I put the Garmin?

I've been asking the same question myself for the last few days. Waiting for delivery!

Shame they don't have a "I'm here" function on them, they'd be able to tell you where they were then..

Mine went missing for months, went through the entire house several times.... eventually found it lurking in the bottom of a bunjee filled carrier bag in the boot of my car.

D'oh.

There should be an App for that.

You know the kinda thing:

"find me my lost (whatever)"

Well GPS is not accurate enough, but it'd be cool if you could get it to switch on the camera and the microphone so you could perhaps deduce where it was 🙂

There is for iPhones and 'droids.

Shame it only works for the phone and not for your Garmin or my car keys 😀
