Hi, what kind of maps can you upload on this device and where do you purchase them? Tnx
@AlphaPews21 күн бұрын
you cant upload but you can import gpx files from garmin explore app. so these are saved as tracks. so you make your own maps. there is no phyiscal mapping. e.g topographic and similar. its a breadcrumb navigator but its highly accurate and has great battery life

So you can't charge the battery pack thru the headlamp like the revolt does?The revolt is duel fuel but you can charge the battery pack inside the lamp without having to remove it. I don't see why they are going backwards.

My PVS-14 illuminator is much brighter than the Sidewinder Compact II in infrared mode. The RWB colors are also pretty dim. Consider the Sidewinder Compact II a map light, nothing more. So I sent this toy back for a refund, and then I bought a REAL light.
@AlphaPews4 ай бұрын
maybe you got a faulty unit. my onboard IR had a focused beam due to the led type. so this is a wider flood. i tested surefire also and this wins in my view. But your experience with your tube specs etc will differ. what sort of tube specs you running? also i think of onboard ir as a backup not primary, as if that stops working, it's a new battery housing for the 14.

Hi, it looks like the screen of the 7 Pro is much better than the screen of the regular seven. Do you think this is really the case? It would be great to see a face-to-face review of these screens.
@AlphaPews4 ай бұрын
i believe they are the same but could be the sapphire glass? also my filming camera is kinda 👌 so that will help. i was in a REI store stateside and the staff were really helpful or see if you can find a garmin main dealer. To be sure checkout the garmin website. dont forget this is the Fenix 7 pro sapphire solar so their top spec watch in the line. The fenix 7 is a great watch and the previous generation fenix 6 is also very nice too (also cheaper and more deals about) just depends on what features arenkost important. although the battery on the 7 series has good reports from what i can tell and personally only needs 1 or 2 monthly charges.

I'll be doing a follow up in 10 and 20 years. you just inspired me. Theses are really interesting as they half their glow output each half life. but the useful output is rated for 12 years. so in 24 years, the glow will be half and then another 12 years half again.

it tops up rather than charges. so in thr summer in europe on a day where there is strong sunlight it will assist like 2% depending how much sun exposure.
