  1. You are correct. I just liked the ease with which I could download them from the website, as opposed to manually entry.
  2. All, Thanks for all the responses. Just a few comments to some of the responses. 1. I know I can download caches to my cell phone when I have cell coverage, and then geocache offline. The problem is when I don't have cell coverage and want to geocache and didn't download them in advance. 2. We have only logged 86 caches, but have found a lot more and often we are with others and using their equipment. I still use my 60csx and manually enter the coordinates, but now the 60csx doesn't appear to be compatible with geocaching.com so I can't download them from the website. If the 60csx still works with the website I'd like to know how to connect it. When I try I'm told my device is no longer supported.
  3. Over the last several years I have been my iPhone app when geocaching. However, often I find myself in areas where I have no cell coverage, thus I can't geocache. I use to use my Garmin 60 series GPS to download caches, but it is no longer supported by geocaching.com. I'm looking for a new GPS system to use, especially in areas where there is no cell coverage. However, I have a few questions about the newer GPS units. 1. When I used my old GPS (before I started using my iPhone) I would go online and search the area I intended to geocache and then download each cache individually. With a new GPS, such as the 66i ) will it inherently know where I am and show caches near me or will I still have to either use a computer or tether the unit to my cell phone? If I still have to use a computer or cell phone then I may not be better off than I was with my old GPS. 2. In addition to needing a computer to download coordinates I would also print a description of each cache, and the carry the paper descriptions with me (including the hints). Do the newer GPS systems display the descriptions/hints or will I still have to carry paper if I want that information?. 3. Does anyone have recommendations of which GPS units work well. I have been casually looking at the 66i and Oregon 750T, but if there if no real difference in these over less expensive models I don't see a reason to spend more. Thank you in advance for your help. Keith
