People who use GPS maps know that Garmin’s proprietarily maps are pretty good. The only problem is that it can be limiting as they only allow their maps to be loaded on the system. They have changed the game slightly as they have opened up their operating system for your Oregon, Dakota or Colorado handhelds to allow the import of maps you currently own (paper or digital) directly into your unit.Posted by: David H.

Let's get really geeky for the next 5 min. If you have ever wondered how those little lights in your headlamp work but have been too scared to ask? I have the answer for you. Lighting your way back to your tent are probably LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes. They take hardly any energy to run and last forever so you find them in almost all the headlamps on the market today.Posted by: David H. Johnston Tuesday December 23, 2008

Olympus has just released information on an updated Stylus 1050 SW point and shoot camera. It is very similar to the current Stylus 1030 SW with similar specs (10.1MP, 5 feet shockproof, 10 ft. waterproof, 14°F freezeproof) but with a tap-control feature to make it easier to take pictures in extreme environments. By tapping the top, back or sides of the camera, you can toggle through different options and settings even if you are under water or wearing thick gloves.Read more: Looking for a Waterproof Camera?
