SUPER utility. I use a Nuvi 260W and love it. I bought 6 - 512mb SD cards at a camera shop for $5 each. I travel to about 5 or 6 areas in the midwest. I get a PQ with 500 caches in each of the areas I'm going to be in...put each area on a different card, and when I'm in the area, insert the card and go. The only annoying part is everytime I start the unit up it asks whether or not I want to load the file into the unit. Do you know of any way to stop that? I only bought the unit a couple weeks ago and am sure that there are many things yet to discover. For any of you who may want to do the same, grab the cards soon because the smallest one being manufactured now is 1gig. Can't beat $5. Thanks again for a GREAT macro... Doug&Di

I just started using it and it seemed like it would work great (never took it out yet, just looked at it). I went to the GpxView site and it looks like it doesn't support Palm, is that the case with that? Oh well...

Hey guys, I'm having trouble with cachestats. Recently when I try to load the file into the program I get an error that says "Index is outside of the bounds of the array". I've re-installed the cachestats program and still get the same error. Any help out there???

Found it, told you it was a blonde day. I was overlooking that one sentence with the check box. Thank You Very Much !

Hey guys, I've just published 6 new ( and my first ) caches. I want to add a picture to the listings. I've read the directions in the FAQ and followed them to a "T" but my picture won't get past the small camera icon near the bottom. There is one thing I can't find...In the directions it says to make sure the page is selected for HTML. I go to the edit mode for the page but can't find any way to select an HTML entry anywhere. In the description cell I've entered the "img src" HTML code just as it should be but the refreshed page deletes it. One of the listings is: GC14Z6F any help would be greatly appreciated.

Didn't want to get to rambling with that first entry. I use a GPS V in my auto for "road" work so probably won't spend the $140 to get city street maps. As I read and look around, I'm still leaning towards the "GSAK" and "CacheMate" combo and leaving EasyGPS on the desktop. I certainly want to say that you folks are most helpful and the forum is FULL of good stuff, all it takes is a little time to look it up and read it. Wife and I are hitting the trails...happing caching, and thanks again. Doug&Di

Hi everyone, I wanted to tell of my first geocaching experience (readers digest version). My sister and other members of family came to visit last weekend. They said they might be a little late getting in because they wanted to stop at a geocache in the rest area near our town first. As we go on, we went on a cache hunt the next day and made it a family outing. I had never done anything like this before. We took 3 of the grandkids and all in all, there was 10 of us running around down by the Mississippi river looking for some unknown object the size of a breadbox. Getting eaten alive by mosquitoes and chiggers, we found the cache. As it happened, there was a TB in there along with a beautifully made coin from Germany. My sister, knowing what to do, took both these items home and explained what they were and why they were there. She also rewarded the 3 small grandchildren with "treasure" from the cache, (As I remember, a golf ball, silly putty, and small figure). This may seem a story "old" and "retold" many times, most of you have had many similar experiences. For us, it was great, my wife and I bought a GPS (GPSMap60Cx), and along with my PDA, are starting a new adventure. I have been doing MUCH reading and downloading and look forward to all the things that may come along. I do have a couple of questions. They relate to the software and combinations of software to use. 1. I started with premium membership, and using "EasyGPS" 2. I have acquired "GSAK" and "CacheMate" (This combo looks very good) 3. I just now was looking into "GPX Spinner" and "Plucker" I realize that it's mostly a "preference" kinda thing, but you guys with lots of experience, which combo should I start / stay with? From what I see now, only 2 days looking at them, I'm leaning towards the #2 combo. At any rate, I can see my wife and I having a wonderful time together and involving our grandkids and others in what looks like a great hobby. The best thing is, after the price of the GPS, it's free (maybe a little gas). By the way, my sister took the TB and coin from Arkansas and may have or will deposit them in Northern Indiana or Michigan. Those items should get a good little mileage add on. Doug&Di
