New Jeep RT300 GPS
New Jeep RT300 GPS
Does anyone know about this little guy? Is it basically a NUVI with a Rubber Case? Or, if we are lucky is it the New Garmin Waterproof Nuvi with a Jeep logo, similar to the Trail Guide?
Who’s software does this thing use? Ok just all the normal GPS questions that we use to judge them.

The article is dated Dec '07 and talks about this being available "next month" which would have been last Jan. Is this available now? Looks like a great option as compared to upgrading to a MyGig.

If it is based on the Nuvi line or any of the Street based Garmin units, Pass on it as they suck for off road, and they do not do tracks, and many don't have good topo maps available.
Tracks are a must for people wanting to do trails as they are, or trails that are not on the maps, or as in many places the maps are way off.
Too many other great options out there.
I don't need a LOGO on a GPS.
