  1. I have just got a Navman Pin 570. It comes with SmartST which does a great job in the car. I loaded in Memory Map which means I have a scrolling OS map in my hand for when I get out of the car. It also came with a database of not only all the speed, sorry safety camera but also the locations of laybys, etc where they setup mobile speed cameras. It is a PDA and plays MP3 files. Not cheap at £230 plus the cost of Memory Map but some satnav systems alone cost much more. I am chuffed to bits with it. The only drawback is battery life at about 3 1/2 hours which is OK for most geocaching but not for a longer day out on the hills. I still have a Garmin eTrex which will stand rough treatment better and the battery lasts longer - no satnav though.
  2. Help. I have just uploaded a load of pics from a dispoable camera in my cache. I left the caption field blank when I uploaded them all. I've contacted all the visitors and now have names for the people in the pics. How do I modify the caption that goes with each pic. Clicking on [edit] brings up a page which allows me to edit the image (which I don't want to do) but not the caption. Thanks. TGS
  3. Just interested to know where you read about Trail Magazine's cockup. Bad news travels fast, eh? TGS
  4. I use a yellow Etrex. As far as performance under tree cover goes, it works a lot better if you select full mode rather than battery saving mode. TGS
  5. Another use for a stick is that it is great for checking for wobbly stepping stones when crossing a stream. It has saved me from a soaking on many occaisions. TGS
