Well done Tim :thumright:


I suppose poor old St Garmin never got a mention 25 years ago :( My 90 saved my navigation life many a time.

Edit: anyone remember the Garmin toblerone?

I do! The Toblerone was a significant advance over the GPS 90, which took me all over the UK; albeit in a miasma of nervousness, uncertainty and worry.

Compared to either of those two, SkyDemon is the living embodiment of Clarke's Third Law.

Wasn't there a Garmin 55 or something, that and a single channel Magellan of some kind, not to mention the Trimble Star Trek phaser .
