Thanks everyone for your help, it's much appreciated. Andy & Mary

Sounds like the set-up I'm looking for, can you give me a bit more information about it, please. I'm new to all this and don't understand it all yet. Thanks

Hello everyone, We have only been geocaching for a couple of weeks, so please excuse the dumb questions! We bought an HP iPAQ rx 5935 which came ready loaded with TomTom Navigator 6 and is perfect for getting us near to the caches by road. I was told that BeeLineGPS was the best thing to use to pin-point the waypoints. I downloaded it and to be quite honest it's rubbish. It seems to take ages to locate where we are and then will say something like 980 feet from waypoint and then do nothing for five minutes even though we are walking. It will then burst into life and start jumping around all over the place and will then tell us we are anything from 14 feet to over 1000 feet from our target. Then it stops again for 5 minutes and repeats the process etc. The caches we have found so far have mainly been more by luck than judgement. Can somebody either tell me what we are doing wrong with BeeLine, or recommend a programme that is more accurate in locating where the caches are hiiden. Thanks for your time Andy & Mary
