  1. Is there a web site or a way to convert gpx files into a formate that then can be imported in to Garmin Map source?
  2. I'm glad to hear about Alaskan muggles, as my daughter is turning into a rabid cacher. I will make note of the recomened caches and try to remember to post my thoughts when I get back. Thanks for the help.
  3. Holland America Alaska explorier out of seattle for 14 days. I hope to get 4 or more caches per port, but with little kids don't know how that will work out. In anchorage for 16 hours, lots of caches there i hope to get many.
  4. In The summer we will be cruising to Alaska. My question is where will we dock at Kodiak, Anchorage, and Sitka, I know where we will dock at our other ports of call. I want to use this as my center point in gsak so I can make the best use of my limited time in each port. Will most likely get only an hour or two as we have a little one who needs lots of care.
  5. I like to wear a hard hat, ornange safty vest, and carry a clipboard. No one will ask what you are doing dressed like that, at least not yet.
  6. Went caching in heavy muggle area, so I wore my hard hat, safty vest, and carried a clipboard. Walked over to cach looked like Im inspecting the area grabed cach signed log doodled in clipboard replaced cach. One person walkede over aqnd asked if I was here for the gas line, the cach was close to an electric sign so I said No electrical. They walked away on their cell phone calling thee gas company again. I hide in plain sight now.
  7. No just one but it also works with my ledgend c. My regular mapsorce should work as routable for my oregon 300 should it not, it works with the others.
  8. I have Mapsorce and city navagator, they both work with my 60csx but when I use the same maps with my new oregon 300 I get the message routable maps not avable for this area. It works for that area with my 60csx. Any ideas?
  9. Yesterday while caching a couple asked what I was doing, as I had my city ID hanging off my shirt I told them I was completing my tracking test for a promotion, and was being observed and if they talked much longer it might cause me to fail. As you can see I told the truth, I was doing a tracking test, it would promote my finds count, I was being observed [by them], and if they stayed I would not be able to make my find and I would fail. Its all in the packaging.
  10. Wheile caching in Florida, I was wearing od shirt, shorts, and hat, a muggle asked me what I was doing? I told them I was with the Federal Department of Electromagnatism, and was working with the Florida Department of Magnatism, to find a missing band of magnetic energy. They asked if it was dangerous? I said no as long as we can find it before it grows. They asked if they could help, I said yes and gave them an 800 number to call if they spotted anything amiss. The number was to Hooters in Tacoma. I alwas tell the Police and other offical types the truth.
  11. By stop looking I mean look around for 1 to 2 minuts and give up. I take her to ones that I have found in the last 24 hours, so it is there. Trying to teach her to look and may be reread the discription again, look alittle more check for clue look some more. Hopefuly she will find it before we have to play hot or cold. I don't like hamsters so good riddance, to much like the mice I battle at work. I have only had to resort to hot or cold once, she's getting better.
  12. I simply told her "Every time you log a DNF a fariy dies." Works now she won't just give up and log a dnf.
  13. I have tried searching for open source maps here but to no avail, probally using the wrong wording. My question is how do I get OSM's into my gpsmap60csx. What format do I save them in and can/how do I get them into my unit. Thanks
