I'm new to this too, have the exact same problem as the OP and need to ask...PQ? GSAK? PDA? (This one is a Personal Data Assistant?) Also, I've been told by a Boy Scouting frind...There is a program that you can load the grids to and then send to Magellan. It adds one step but takes out SOOOO much clickin on the actual GPS... I have only been geocaching for a year and found about 240 with my Magellan Explorist 500. They might not have the best customer support ( almost none at all ) I cant agree with all the magellan bashing I see all I know is when I go for a cache the thing almost always drops me right on the cache. Sorry back to the question PQ is pocket querry which if you have the paid subscription for geocaching you will allow you creat a custom querry of the caches in a certain area IE. a 5 mile radius around your home cords you can search a number of caches ( up to 500 ) all tho the Magellan can only import 200 at a time ( Gripe gripe ) GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife) is a program that alows you to do alot of things like importing that pocket querry into your Magellan and many other things like importing that same pocket querry into a PDA (personal data assistant ) for paperless caching. well I hope this helped and sorry for being long winded

I have recently visited the Lava Beds National park and love it there. I found a great place for an earth cache and think I have enough to work up an good set of questions. I do not live in the area but want to place a earth cache there is it all right to get permission by email ? And what would be the best things to state in the email ..

I know we may be crazy with gas prices as they are. But were addicted to the cache and we love to camp as well so we will be going up and back week up and week back stoping at camp grounds on the way. So my question is has anyone done this or another trip just for geocaching ? And are there places you recomend we stop along the way great for camping and caching ? We will likly stop @ crator lake on the way for a day. I know there's no good caching there. of course we will stop at the oridunal cache .. So give me some ideas for caching, hiking, camping and fun. Thanks Walkingmaniac

I have been trying to use GSAK with my Magellan Explorist 500LE I was able to upload the files and seems that I can call up gotos. But they do not come up on my map on the 500le is there something I am doing wrong ? I hope some one can help.
