  1. i just copied all 3 folders and for some reason didnt install, it said something about a -113 error and somethign about Alaska. Anyone know? Sorry for the short detail.
  2. xer0piggy, you my man................ are awesome. Please feel free to take a bow.
  3. From which store did you buy it? nice! i got the Garmn 60cx as well.
  4. Anyone else having this problem. Its only happened today. Ive turned my unit on about 3 times and they both took over 2 minutes to get a signal, even in and open field. Really odd. Im in north Los Angeles County. and no, its not the smog.
  5. Sorry, couldn't really remember where he lived when I wrote the message. Hence the collective reference at the end. yea, ive been caching over in Griffith Park, but had no luck. I hit Woodley Park and found 1 of 2 i looked for. The second search was halted early due to a baby snake i encountered and wasnt gonna stick around to check for it's rattler.
  6. I saw a very cool documentary awhile ago about graffiti in different countries around the world and some of it was absolutely gorgeous, there is no doubt that some graffiti is executed with great skill. In a couple of cases the artists were actually sanctioned by property owners so it was actually elevated from graffiti to commisioned art. Congrats on your first cache! yes, there is a difference in graffiti. I really dislike the 'name tagging', thats when they just write their names on things. Of course, nobody should deface other people's property.
  7. I too am new to this and live in Reseda. It would be great to hear your experiences in the area.
  8. dont know if its too late. Ventura County is a beautiful place just a few miles north of L.A. Try visiting Santa Barbara and taking in the missions from the early settlers. Plus, if you can pay a visit to Slovang (dutch city), its a popular tourist stop.
  9. i mean, if you can see the ground and tell what tree you're next to and locate yourself that way..... there's really no way you can ever get lost, ie. find that shed, farmhouse in a catastrophe. Just add that to your GPS topo and there's nothing to surprise ya over that hill.
  10. Hello. My name is Beto (beh-toh) and I just received my new Garmin GPS60cx and very new to this. I troll around the boards, read a bit and ask questions........ just hope i don't drive any of you nuts, i mean no harm. Looking to master my Garmin and conquer the world, but if i only manage to add a little more adventure to my life I'll be fully satisfied. [benstern]Thank You[/benstern]
  11. I miss not hearing voices in my head and since im now cured, it would be nice to have my Garmin tell me in that oh so sexy voice to turn left. I just got one and figure that is a non-feature, but are there any car kits with em? Thanks.
  12. whats fun about using your GPS is being able to see what might be behind that hill, what you can find behind that mountain, exploring that 'final frontier' excitement without the risk of getting too lost. I think with those google sat. shots, that excitement can dissipate. Just a thought.
  13. I just browsed through the Google Maps and what fine detail those satellites show, down to every tree. Now looking at my GPS topo maps........ it makes them look very archaic. Is this the way of the new GPS? I mean, how can you compete with such a satellite shot? Im sure our GPS technology will get to that point. I've actually lost some interest in my brand new GPS (navigator,topo) handheld. Anyone else feel this way? Maybe it's cuz im on fumes and should get some sleep. What ya think? http://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox....002511&t=h
  14. I am looking for National Parks, West. Anyone have one for sale, let me know. Thanks.
  15. does the US TOPO 24K, National Parks need an unlock code? anyone have any idea? thanks. keeps asking me for 'Topo disc 1'. yes, i know......such a noob.
  16. I have a Garmin Etrex Navigator brand new sealed box never opened if you are interested. i received it as a gift but had another Garmin so i never opened it. I would think $75 would be fair....?? Let me know, M Thank you. My friend really liked my 60cx so he's egghunting for it as we speak. Thanks again!
  17. I have a Garmin 60cx with a 2GB card. Whats the difference with City Select and City Navigator? Im thinking of purchasing the Auto Navigation kit, but only comes with City Select. Also, City Navigator or Navigator NT? Thanks
  18. ok. i was a bit confused. TOPO Maps i can buy used with no need for an unlock code. Now, the City Navigator, i need an unlock code. Is that code assigned to the map or the Garmin unit?
  19. Thank you. You really live up to your name there, pal. Now...... if anyone is selling either or both, let me know. Thank you.
  20. Im looking to buy the City Navigator North America and TOPO, West cd/dvd. My friend is thinking about buying himself a Garmin. Can we just chip in and share our CDs? Whats the deal there? Also, if anyone has any for sale (new or used) , let me know. Thanks!! Newbie here. Looking forward to getting into all this fun.
  21. thanks, guys. glad to hear. whats the best place to purchase the Topo and city navigator maps for cheap? i see they're pretty expensive.
  22. My buddy has had this GPS for a few months now and we did a swap. He cant find the Mapsource Trip and Waypoint Manager disc and doesnt know where he put it...... Is that important. I know nothing about this GPS or technology. Newbie here. Any answers would be great. Thanks!!
  23. I just bought a 2GB sandisk for $29.99. You cant go wrong with bigger storage.
