I've seen a lot of posts on ebay for caches at good prices. You can go there and type in geocache containers and listings for them come up.

I've got caches for sale on ebay. You can get to the site by either using *links removed by moderator*

I saw this after I made my lengthly post below. You didn't need to go to the 400t. If you're looking for the compass, you need to find what cache you want to go to, the touch go. Once it brings up the map, exit out of it and then keep exiting until you come back to your main screen. Select compass and it will have it big. You can customize the order you want the options to appear. I have Geocaches, Compass, Where to, Trip odometer, mark waypoint, and waypoint manager on first page because those are the ones I use the most. You will also see 4 boxes above the compass, these fields can be personalized just by touching the screen and you can put in what you want to see.

Don't know if you've made your purchase yet or not, but here's my thought on the matter: I have both the Oregon, and the GPSMAP60cs. I like them both but for different reasons. Oregon because it has all the bells and whistles of the paperless and touchscreen. There is a learning curve (especially if you've had another GPSR). There is a few features that aren't on the 60 but they're inconsequential. I did read a post regarding how acurate the 60 was in wooded areas. I have to refute that based on my experience. I've lost reception in sparse wooded areas. I've had both units with us and the 60 is always losing reception while the Oregon hardly ever does. I find that with both units having full batteries and being calibrated the 60 is more accurate while walking. The Oregon has the right bearing and all but is slower to adjust location at slow speeds (in the car it's faster and more accurate). Also once you stop, and allow the Oregon to "catch up" it is more accurate than the 60. As far as the Colorado goes, I've read comparisons regarding them and the Oregon out performs the Colorado in almost every category. Not sure where the previous poster got info on waypoint marking but the only issue I have with waypoint marking is not having the ability to average (for placing a new cache). If you go with the 60 you can download directly from GSAK using export to html option in conjunction with freeware called iSilo for your computer and iSiloX for your palm (you have to install on both to utilize). You can upgrade and register it for a small cost. Once you have the file up in html window you use iSilo clipper and it converts to palm format and then you sync your palm with your computer. You get everything you see on the cache page (pics included). When my wife and I go out I download to my Oregon, and 60, then download to a palm so that both of us can use wireless and have access to hints, logs, and info regarding caches. Hope this helps.

Minnesota is already covered in the latest version (2.01). Dale I didn't know people still had 56k modems I got tired or reading the posts, so I came to the end. I did notice that there was someone working on the 11 western states. Is Wa done? Thanks

Looking for team members to join my team, please email me via my profile if you're interested. I do have a team spot on the caper.

A lot of those "oldest in...." type stats can be worked out with creative use of the PQ system and most are already listed in some public bookmark lists. FWIW, the oldest active cache is (I think!) GC30 but don't quote me on it 761 finds and only one DNF since geocaching.com is based in the Seattle area, I don't think 1st cache is in Kansas. It is 7th overall and the 1st in Kansas (go to site and owner states in cache description).

Go into GPS on your toolbar above. A window will come up. At the bottom there is a GPSR set up button. Click on it and change GPS brand to Garmin. Check or uncheck USB depending on your connection. Put in max waypoints. Click OK. You can use default settings or uncheck default settings and then make your selections. I would wait to do that until you're familiar w/GSAK. Read the Help section in the application for what you need to do.

I've ran 2 my finds pq from gc.com and both have been wrong. The first one was way off, but the second one was only 7 off. In looking at the dates between my finds queries 4/12 and 4/19 I found 7 caches, and those were the ones missing. I still don't know if there is a lag, minimum time delay or what? There is nothing on FAQ regarding this that I saw, and none of the forum posts have answered my questions. I use Gsak as well, and it shows all my caches.

Try going to this sight for cachestats software www.logicweave.com it works in conjunction with the "my finds" button in premium members build a query section

I just recently started using this option. I ran it last week 4/12 and it said I had 42 finds. Wrong! I was in the 60's at the time. Since then I've found 8 more caches, ran it today 4/20 and it says I've found 62, when I've actually found 71. What is the accuracy of the query, and when is it usually updated. The last finds I had were on 4/13 - 4/16. I would think that 4 days would be sufficient to get into the system. I've run a separate one that I created and it's accurate. I just want to use the my find query to update my cache stats on my profile page and it only allows info from my stats query. Thanks
