Asking for permission to hide
Motorcycle_Mama replied to rhelt100's topic in General geocaching topics
In terms of tort law, they would definitely be considered "invitees". If you go into a WalMart parking lot or into a public park (during the normal operating hours), you are an "invitee". -

You might want to ask over on the Motorcycle Tourer's Forum. http://forums.delphiforums.com/MCTourer/start Those guys have lots of experience with the Garmin 26xx series.

No, offense, but did you read it? Seems fairly self-explanatory. It ‘translates’ live positional data from Garmin’s proprietary interface into NMEA 0183. Garmin’s proprietary interface data is only provided via USB whereas NMEA data is provided via serial port . Spanner overcomes this by creating a virtual serial port and thereby allowing a USB based Garmin GPS receiver ‘speak’ with programs that require NMEA data. Spanner is offered as a tool for Garmin’s GPS 18 product, but it works with other Garmin GPS receivers including the GPSMap 60cx and 76CS. However, it doesn’t work with all Garmin USB GPS receivers. Some receivers that reportedly don’t work with Spanner include: Venture Cx and Vista Cx. http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=1627 Spanner allows you to use your GPS 18 USB with most NMEA 0183-compliant mapping programs. It adds a virtual com port interface to your GPS 18 so that you can send NMEA data to other programs.

New policy on City Navigator V8?
Motorcycle_Mama replied to Campmaster's topic in GPS technology and devices
You can't copy the pre-programmed SD cards. And you can't use them with a PC. They only work with GPS units. -
Handheld GPS with Mp3 playing capability
Motorcycle_Mama replied to Firemeboy's topic in GPS technology and devices
But not Garmin handhelds. -
Or you can just enter the city and state into the search box.

Absolutely do not do it unless you own it. It's defacing property no matter how "harmless" it may seem.

Import FROM Streets and Trips 2007
Motorcycle_Mama replied to -TwoCs-'s topic in GPS technology and devices
GPS Utility will convert from an EST to a GPX. Then you can use Garmin's POI Loader to load the GPX as a Custom POI. -
MapSource City Navigator North America NT
Motorcycle_Mama replied to 30/30's topic in GPS technology and devices
Yes, there is an updated version coming out in 2 - 4 weeks. What version of the maps did you purchase? v8? The next version coming out in a few weeks will be v2008 (they changed the numbering scheme). BTW, the NT version is more compact than the non-NT version, but this doesn't have anything to do with the map version. -
If you have the latest version of Google Earth, you can open GPX files directly.

The hole wasn't an existing hole according the the hider himself. He said that he dug the hole in which to place the wooden box. And then placed the cache in the box.

Pocket Queries output different than zip search
Motorcycle_Mama replied to dwdavid's topic in Website
Worked for me using zip code 59936. The PQ comes back with 8 virtuals inside the park and several traditional caches along the outer perimeter. -
Have you looked at this page? http://www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip.aspx?TripID=8222
-
You admit that you dug a hole in order to place the cache. That's not allowed regardless of whether digging is required to find the cache.

Finding all the Caches in your immediate area
Motorcycle_Mama replied to 5 Golden Rings's topic in General geocaching topics
There are 278 caches within 10 miles of me. I haven't found all of them. I won't likely find a bunch of them because I don't typically go after micros on purpose. (Not that there's anything wrong with them, per se, I just tend to prefer non-micros.) -
New to GPS units/garmin/mapsource
Motorcycle_Mama replied to TeamMathias's topic in GPS technology and devices
The SD cards don't require unlocking and will work with multiple GPS units but, they only work with the GPS units and not with your computer. You won't be able to load the maps onto your computer so you can't use them with MapSource. The DVD version is better in this regard. The unlock process is not difficult if you just follow the steps through the myGarmin website. -
Your Pocket Query had no results Why do I keep getting this?
Motorcycle_Mama replied to The Yinnies's topic in How do I...?
You must be selecting too many options that are canceling each other out. A common mistake is selecting both "caches that I have found" and "caches that I haven't found" at the same time. What options are you selecting? Try deselecting some options and see if you get any results back. -
Do what? POIs that are bitmaps? Not sure what you are asking. POI Loader will load CSV and GPX files that are properly formatted. Some unit have the ability to also load a custom icon in the form of a bitmap that is sized and named properly.

60CSX Point of Interest Updates
Motorcycle_Mama replied to Peachy Carnahan's topic in GPS technology and devices
Yes, you can only update the built in POIs by purchasing an updated map product. However, you can add TONS of Custom POIs to your SD card. Check out POI Factory for more information. Tons of POI files. http://www.poi-factory.com/ -
waiting for reviewers to look at my new cache hides
Motorcycle_Mama replied to mimi0674's topic in General geocaching topics
Also, remember that the reviewer's coverage area may be quite large covering well beyond "your area". So even if there aren't many caches in "your area" the reviewer may actually have a lot in his or her "area" to handle. -
Try this site for geocoding the addresses. http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert?form=address
