or SEATTLE or VEGAS ... those are the activation words for the ones in my box MrsB Thanks. =)

This was basically what I was waiting for before getting an iPhone. My wife has one and they are VERY useful. She is not so much into GeoCaching... So it is looking like I am getting a G3 for X-Mas. Woot!!!

I use the Garmin eTrex...the ugly lil cheap yellow one... I was wondering which format is best for caching. Yesterday i found myself int he situation where I had written down the wrong format and had to change it in my GPS. I got to thinking...one of these has to be considered the most accurate. For example: Decimal 38.33915 -77.07127 DDD MM.MMM N 38° 20.349 W 077° 04.276 DDD MM SS.SSS N 38° 20' 20.9400" W 77° 4' 16.5612" Which one is the best? The longest? =) Just a question from a new cacher.

I just got a eTrex. It is pretty good. Of course that is all depending on where I am and how many "ft of accuracy" I can get. It has been 10 ft in one spot and 45 in another. That is the usual range for me. Work well enough for caching as far as I have seen....which isn't much.
