Great for Geocaching

Great product from Garmin and a very nice and easy way to create a less common geocache type... a beacon cache.Once out of the packaging the Chirp device is very small which is essential when hiding out at way points. It easily fits into an empty film tub which will keep it safe when hidden and such a tub will not impair it's broadcast signal, in fact Garmin state that other than burying it or placing it in a metal container most other hide types are suitable.For those unfamiliar with Chirp, it is a beacon device that broadcasts a message within about a 10 meter radius which can consist of a text formed message as well as new coordinates to put into your GPS device to continue your journey onward to the next way point or final destination.I am sure that this device has many applications but I am basing this review on its use as a Geocaching way point beacon as this is its purpose for me.The Chirp itself is easily enough programmed by a Chirp compatible Garmin GPS device though not all of Garmin's units support this, a quick check on their website will confirm which do so it is important to check before ordering one.The same is to be said for reading the Chirp's transmission where a compatible device is once again used although this is less strict a rule as many smartphones now support the Ant+ service which can also read the Chirp beacon with an appropriate app, 'Chirp Wolf' is a good example of a free app that translates the signal meaning more people have access to finding the cache.Once in place it makes for an interesting way of travelling through way points without intermediary physical caches and, of course, getting that beacon cache attribute!All in all this is a nice and small, stylish device that adds a different element to your published caches. ExcellentThe way it works is you would plan your cache including way points and take the GPS readings at each before programming the Chirp beacon/s with the way point data (ie a short message if required and the GPS coordinates to the next stage or final cache) and hiding the Chirp beacon, very well I might add, at the supplied coordinates as the beacon is not intended to be found but rather the signal it emits.Once placed you will place further beacons if required before placing the final cache

I'd buy another one

It works well, with a good range. It is something different for one of my geocache hides.

色々試した結果。。。

対応するガーミン製品が近寄ると「hello!」と表示されるようにしています。ジオキャッシングしないこの身ではもはや自動挨拶装置と化してしまったチャープ君

Lustige Spielerei, empfehlenswert

Zu Cachen wollte ich die kleinen Chirps mal testen, die Lieferung kam mit einer Bliesterverpackung, was nicht weiter schlimm ist.Erklärt wird nur kurz in der mehrsprachigen Anleitung, die etwas umfangreichere kann man sich auch bei Garmin runterladen.Die Batterie CR2032 liegt extra bei. Zum einlegen nur noch kleinen Plaste-Deckel ein Stück mit den Finger gegen den Uhrzeigersinn drehen und schon kann man den Deckel mit den Fingernägeln abpulen.Nun Batterie in den Deckel einsetzen und wieder zurückdrehen.Die Qualität ist sehr gut, alles ist, außer dem Batteriedeckel, in einem Kunstoffgehäuseguß. Es passt bequem in eine Filmdose, so kann der Chirp z.B. auch gut versteckt werden.Der gesamte Chirp ist etwa so groß wie 2 nebeneinander und zur Hälfte überlappende 2E Stücke.Als Beigabe gibts noch je ein etwa centgroßes Klettband zum ankleben mit dazu.Die Anmeldung am Garmin, bei mir ein GPSMAP 62s, klappt nach einschalter der Chirp-Funtion Problemlos.Sofort werden Menüs zur Eingabe von Daten angezeigt, eine Anleitung ist eigendlich nicht nötig.Ärgerlich finde ich, das man nur 50 Zeichen Text eingeben kann. Dazu aber zusätzlich noch Koordinaten und einen Namen.Möglich sind mit dem Teil auch noch andere Anwendungen, ich habe mir aus einem Chirp einen Anstecker für z.B. Events gebastelt, als Info befinden sich nun meine TB-Daten und etwas Text, ich finde ein lustiges Gimmick.
