Question Which VEO is like the GEO 2?

[tursiops]

My friend has a Geo 2, and is looking for a puck for her console as a backup. Perhaps there is a Veo model that behaves the same as the Geo 2?
Thanks.

Geo 2 runs DSAT and PZ+. All relatively recent Veos, at least since Veo 1, also have both algorithms and will run identically to the Geo 2.

I'm thinking like button-push operations, too, not just algorithms.

Depends on what you mean by "behaves". Everything from the Veo 2.0 on has the same algorithms and a very similar display. But they also all have 2 buttons instead of the 4 on the Geo, so operating them is different.

Edit: post overlap

Thanks, guys. I'll suggest she look for a used Veo 2 or later.
Am I correct they will fit in a console that has an opening for a depth gauge, i.e. a puck?

The latest version is the Veo 4 and it comes in a console configuration in addition to wrist version:

She has an existing console with an empty slot in it, and wants to put a depth gauge in that slot "for redundancy." I'm trying to convince her a simple computer in that slot would be much better redundancy. So, cost is an issue. A used Veo would be perfect, I'm thinking.

Hi @tursiops

As per @BoltSnap the Veo 4 currently comes in an Oceanic console version. I have never used an Oceanic computer in a console and don't know if a Veo is a standard "puck" size and would fit in other consoles. Sorry. I don't readily find the dimensions in the user manuals.

I doubt it.

Yeaq, it looks like the older Veos would need their own console, so she'd have to get the Veo console and move her compass and SPG to it. Dang.
