https://buy.garmin.com/shop/compare.do?cID=...reProduct=11022 Basically the difference is the type of preloaded maps, but additionally there is a difference in the installed amount of memory. As I recall the memory is: 300 -512mb 400i -2gb 400c -1gb 400t -3or4gb

My firmware is always up to date, 2.90/2.80. Realistically, I dont think I will ever really use the 3d view feature, but am just a bit dissappointed with its weak implimentation.

I recently purchased TopoCan V4 for my Colorado 300. I was glad to finally be able to use the 3d view feature, but have found its performance to be pathetic. Is it just my gps or is this this typical for others? When switching to 3d view, I usually get no image.... for up to a couple minutes. Zooming/panning yields no difference, I just get this blue screen. It seems that if i pick "where to" and select a waypoint, I will get an image after about 30 seconds of waiting. Once I finally have an image, I can zoom and pan around, with adequate performance... Is 3D view a useless feature, or is there some kind of issue with my Colorado?

Much simpler as the PQ file is 1 gpx with up to 500 caches. The max for both the oregon and colorado is 200 gpx files or 2000 caches. So 4 maxed pq's will give you your max number of caches with only 4 gpx files.... of course, who really needs 2000 caches at once, as the data becomes old before you could even find that many. One thing that I have noticed in the past is... if you have conflicting gpx files where you have the same cache in 2 separate gpx's it can do weird things, if they weren't generated at the same time. Ex: Made a 500 cache gpx for an area 100km from home and loaded it to my Colorado. Left it in there for 3-4 months.....then I recently ran my weekly closest to home pq and loaded it up. A couple caches that were on the edge of my closest 500 were the same as ones from that old pq from 100 km away. I went to do one of those and noticed (way after the fact of course) that it was using the older data. There was a recent change of co-ords that didn't show up, as it was reading the description/logs/hints/co-ords, from the older gpx file. I guess my point is, if you refresh any caches, do all the caches that are loaded into your gps, or just delete the pq you no longer need to prevent confusion @ GZ.

Your inventory is shown below the text entry box when you write your log. Just highlight the TB, then hit submit.

You can just drag and drop your whole PQ.gpx file in to the garmin/gpx/ folder. Or you can just do the same for individual caches. Either in the garmin/gpx/ folder of the device or the SD card.

I think he means "near me"..... Basically if you just do the caches near me search from the front page, in the right column where it says "last found", there will be no date posted there if it is unfound.

Thanks for the tip...ordered a few up for different things.

Try it without the extra unneeded code... <center> <A href="http://homepage.mac.com/john_mckee/Geocaching/PS.html"> <img src="http://homepage.mac.com/john_mckee/cache/Arrow.png"></A> <h2>The Graphic is a Hyperlink</h2> </center>

I cleaned up the code a bit and removed some redundant lines. Final version is available here....... http://www3.telus.net/public/a5a51225/Waymarking.zip

Here is a grid showing all the UTM zones. http://www.dmap.co.uk/utmworld.htm

I'm 38, and I like candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach......errrm...uhhhh...wrong site....

I dont really have any input to give other than I just saw this deal at NCIX.... http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku...mp;promoid=1001

For some reason the code in the code box gets altered slightly depending on the browser used. Here is a direct link to the file, which will work. Just unzip and drag onto mapsource.

If a premium member, you can specify in your PQ to include only ones with this symbol Also as M_M said, a terrain rating of 1 is supposed to be wheelchair accessible.

I made one for Waymarking.com.... posted in this thread... http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=219958

In another thread some one was asking if it was possible to have a .wlx file for Waymarking.com What is a .wlx file you ask? It is a Web Link eXtension, in otherwords when you right click on an area in mapsource, normally you can search for satellite images on google or geocaches. I decided to play around with the wlx and this is what I came up with..... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <weblink xmlns="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/WebLinkExtensions/v1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/WebLinkExtensions/v1 http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/WebLinkExtensions/v1/WebLinkExtensionsv1.xsd"> <displayName> <token xsi:type="LocalizedLiteral_t"> <content language="ENU" string="Find Near Waymarks on Waymarking.com"/> </token> </displayName> <wlxNamespace>www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/WebLinkExtensions/geocaching.com</wlxNamespace> <version>2</version> <supportedLanguages> <supportedLanguage>ENU</supportedLanguage> </supportedLanguages> <url> <token xsi:type="Literal_t" content="http://www.Waymarking.com/wm/search.aspx?f=1&lat="/> <token xsi:type="Value_t" format="LAT_DEFAULT"/> <token xsi:type="Literal_t" content="&lon="/> <token xsi:type="Value_t" format="LON_DEFAULT"/> <token xsi:type="Literal_t" content="&t=6&id=lat:"/> <token xsi:type="Value_t" format="LAT_DEFAULT"/> <token xsi:type="Literal_t" content="%20lon:"/> <token xsi:type="Value_t" format="LON_DEFAULT"/> </url> </weblink> To install: -Open notepad -copy/paste all the text in the above code box -save as and pick File Name: Waymarking.wlx Save as type: All Files Encoding: UTF-8 -save this to your desktop or wherever you like -open mapsource -drag and drop this file anywhere onto the map -mapsource should say something about a successful install -now right click anywhere on the map and select "Find nearby waymarks on Waymarking.com" This should give satisfactory results. Hope some one finds it handy.

Sorry, I missed the replies to this. It can give you problems if the text is in a font/language that you dont have installed on your computer. Here is a simplified one with english only... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <weblink xmlns="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/WebLinkExtensions/v1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/WebLinkExtensions/v1 http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/WebLinkExtensions/v1/WebLinkExtensionsv1.xsd"> <displayName> <token xsi:type="LocalizedLiteral_t"> <content language="ENU" string="Find Near Caches on geocaching.com"/> </token> </displayName> <wlxNamespace>www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/WebLinkExtensions/geocaching.com</wlxNamespace> <version>2</version> <supportedLanguages> <supportedLanguage>ENU</supportedLanguage> </supportedLanguages> <url> <token xsi:type="Literal_t" content="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?origin_lat="/> <token xsi:type="Value_t" format="LAT_DEFAULT"/> <token xsi:type="Literal_t" content="&origin_long="/> <token xsi:type="Value_t" format="LON_DEFAULT"/> </url> </weblink> Open notepad.... copy/paste that text... save as.... then select File name: geocaching.wlx Save as type: All files Encoding: UTF-8 Should work just fine like that. As far as one for Waymarking.com.... you should be able to look at the format of the file and the format used at Waymarking and make the required changes to the file.

As far as I know, GPS systems are also banned in Cuba.

A little late... but pm sent.

My bad, I didnt see the other forum threads as I dont frequent that section.

Read the notes on the cache page.

http://www.bclocalnews.com/okanagan_similk...04-02-2009& Turns out it was just a cache...... looks like it was GC13809 Glad to hear it ended well.

I know this seems like an obvious question, but have you tried it with new batteries?
