  1. Well, I do want to thank all that have offered advice. I have tried that PQ and all it tells me is there is nothing. I also tried the GSAK and the other one too and they will not upload anything to my gps. I have a Garmin NUVI 200. Each time I tried to upload, I get an error. So, I am stuck with going back and forth checking and reading and uploading each one individually. It takes so long to get them it is a little frusterating. Good thing I really like geocaching! I just wish it were easier to prepare for a trip out. Or even to find out what I am doing wrong.
  2. We are new to geocaching. Only a couple months into it but love it and we are hooked!! My question is: Just how do some of you do it when you are going out for a day or weekend geocache hunt? This is currently how I go about getting ready to go caching: 1- look up the caches in the area of your travel - keep moving about on the map for your route. 2 - read to make sure they are active 3- jump back to the page and checkmark the box next to the GC 4- hook up the Garmin. 5 - upload them to your GPS 6- write or type out the hints and information over an hour or more later.......... 7- grab your 3 + pages and head out the door. 8- find it on the GPS and figure out which one it is on the papers 9- search out the cache ---- sign it, trade it...etc 10- log it in own personal little notebook so that it can be referred to later when logging on site. see what I mean? is it this way for all of you? but how are you all doing your hints, names etc so that you have them available and handy when you get to the area of your next cache? I jotted down information but this is only feasable when there are only a couple of caches to run to. We are planning a weekend jaunt this weekend (many geos on the way) and I am just trying to figure out an easier way to do this. The way that I currently do it can take me over an hour or more just to located them on the map, checkmark it, upload it and write out the info and/or hints. There has to be an easier way and I just dont know it it. So.... please teach me? One day to go and we are on our way to the caches!! Hope to get lots of advice on this question.
