Garmin Astro DC40 Review Comparision with DC30

[Buddyw]

I finally got a DC40 and did some homework.

Looks like the DC40 is not going to beat the DC30 in the GPS reception department.

thats what i thought, i wouldnt waste my money buying a dc40! i am going to order 4 more dc30s, i havent had any problems out of them. if you are going to come out with a new model, at least make some improvements over the current one. dont make one the doesnt work as good as the current model, and charge people more for it, then discontinue the better of the two.

i got the 40 about 10 days ago and sent it back for a 30. it took forever to find a satelite and lost signal in small coolies at 100 yards, while the 30 was on the dog next to it and did fine. kind of stupid to have a new model and go backwards!
