Thanks

Does geocacheing.com support virtual caches? I looked for them but couldn't find any.

What's the best topo software for a newbie for geocaching under 100 dollars?

I take my GPS lol just kidding. I take a GPS and a pen.

What is WAAS?

I just checked my GPS and it's set to "track up"

Merry Christmas and Welcome, The Vista's have the electronic compass. If you have the Legend HCx, you don't have a compass per se. It is only a direction/bearing indicator. AND you have to be MOVING, (at least a little) other wise it'll wander around aimlessly. Walk north 20 to 30 ft and it should point that direction, turn right 90 degrees and within 5 or so ft. it should show you headed east. If you do the 'bee dance' don't try to keep up the spinning arrow - you'll get seriously dizzy!!! The "direction/bearing indicator" is acting like it's frozen. And so is the map. And when I walk 40+ feet it still doesn't work. With a very good satellite connection.

So for X-mas I got a garmin etrex legend hcx gps unit......And I cant figure out how to use the electronic compass. I turn on the gps wait for it to connect to satellites and I go to the electronic compass and the compass wont move when I turn. I.E when I'm facing north it says I'm facing west (I.E it's acting like it's frozen). And when I turn the compass stays still and doesn't move at all. And the same thing happens when I'm in the map. It's acting like it's frozen.
