Chuy, You've got me dead to rights. Downhill is where I've been heading since I turned seventy. Fact is we ran an annual downhill coasting competition in the olden days. My 1886 Columbia Expert high wheeler graces my living room. It's a beauty with nothing missing and nothing broken. Riding it is like riding a Cadillac due to the fifty-two inch wheel diameter. Of course there's no gearing so one can truly say that it has a 52-inch gear. Supporting that Tecate-Ensenada ride got to be unreasonable. Same way with the Mexicali-San Felipe event. Once the beach-cruisers started showing up the events got out of control to the point that we couldn't get around the early starters to set up aid stations. We picked up stragglers way into the evening hours, stragglers that walked along in the dark cryng like babies. Way too risky in the end. Also dealing with the Mexican authorities was way too much trouble. No good deed goes unpunished. That experience lead us to the annual Tecate to Cabo San Lucas tour each year between Christmas and New Year. Sixteen days for about 1,200 miles. Ninety-eight mile average days starting in the dark and ending in the dark each day. This event was a self-supported bicycle tour with no motor vehicles allowed. Short days and winter rains made things interesting. We always had a large turnout for this event from all over the world. Riders were experienced and came because of the physical challenge. We also ran an annual Trans-California event where riders rode from Mission Bay to Yuma in one shot. Ah-yes, the good ol' days. Harmon This talk of the old Tecate- Ensenada ride sure brings back memories. I rode it in the first few years untill the number of riders was over 10000. It just wasn't fun with the road so crowded. The El Gringo Cantina at the top of the seven mile hill was a great rest stop. For any of the old riders here I rode with the Diving Locker group.

Why don't you support Mac. I have a 60cs that is great but I can't load maps into it.

I think that the 60c only gives a correct heading while you are moving. The 60cs has an electronic compass that will give a heading while staying in one spot.

I bought my 60cs from GPSonsale last April. Totally happy with their service. The price then was $409.00.

Check out GPSonSALE. 384.99 I paid 409.00 there in April so the price has come down and the service was great.

Used to have a Garmin 38 which seems similar to the 12. Its resolution was .01 miles not .001. .01 miles puts you within 52 feet. To get closer to the cache I would use the lat/long numbers as the .001 minutes resolution is about six feet. But as other posters have pointed out the best method is to get in the area and ask yourself where would you hide it. :DThe 38 finally died and was not repairable. Replaced with GPS Map60cs. This has all the bells and whistles but the time to find a cache has stayed about the same for me.

Bought Garmin 60cs from GPSonSALE. Placed order at 1600hrs on 21 April. Had E-Mail back by 1630hrs saying that three of the items ordered were in stock and ready to ship. I'd requested overnight delivery at the time of order and recieved another notification that the order was picked up by FedEx with a tracking number. The 60cs, AC adapter, and cigarette power adapter were at my door at 1000hrs the next morning. The windshield mounting bracket was not in stock but arrived about three days later. The price for the 60cs was 409.99.

Started with a Garmin GPS38 in 1997. Worked fine for what I used it for. Started caching in 2003 and it did a good job but the display started to fail. Not worth fixing with all the new units out. Now have a Garmin 60cs. A world of difference in the reception. Love the 60cs but are there any really bad units for caching?

I have had the unit shut off twice in one day. This happened when I placed the 60cs on the ground gently. Software is 3.00. Has only happened at that time. I'm using alkaline AA batteries.
