I have a nuvi....i wouldnt use it outdoors personally. They're not made for the outdoors. One drop could kill it quick. I use mine in my truck for when I am driving around to see where caches are and then use my handheld outside.
Yep, that's what I do too. the Nuvi is great for getting me there, then the 60csx does the rest.

You can change it but you will end up having to relog all of your finds on that account and delete them on the old account. If you just started out it's not too bad but if you have a bunch....good luck!
That's not true, Contact Groundspeak, and they will change the name for you, on a case by case basis, and you won't have to relog ANY of them.

There's one nearby here in a Cemetary. I was driving by it tonight, and commented to my wife about it being there, both are in agreement, that's not the place for a cache. I'd never hide one there.

Yes, I have Cn 2008 and Topo 2008 loaded onto the same card in my 60CSx.
Switching cards would be the PITA.
What he said. I have the same setup.

Not a problem, I gathered that you felt strongly, by your reply. Have a good one.

Ok, I am not one of these people who always say "What's wrong with the way it is now?" ... or "But we've ALWAYS done it that way" I am not a naysayer. I resent that you would completely disregard what I said and call me names.
WHOA! Slow down. You quoted me in your last message, then said I called you names? Read above. I did nothing of the sort. I don't need the mods chasing me down for something I didn't do.
If you mean the other guy, Quote him. -
I don't think that is an answerable question, as each Mystery cache, is unique, and can have any variety of puzzle involved in solving it. It's probably better to look at one specific, try it, and if you run into trouble, PM the cache owner or others that solved it and ask for assistance.

Since only reviewers can publish caches, your comment makes no sense at all.
I have to agree with this one. If someone requests a specific time, and it's approved, what difference does it make if the user selected it, or the reviewer?? If the time is a problem, then the reviewer should spot that and deny the publish. Or do you mean something else???

Just thought I'd point out:
Team Aqualung pointed out this website in another thread that enables you to create your own maps at higher degree of accuracy than what was originally on the unit.
http://home.cinci.rr.com/creek/garmin.htm#1
I made one of my area in about a half an hour and its a fantastic topo map.
That way seems really complicated, but if I just wiped out my entire map DB, and had no replacement, then it sure would beat paying for another. Great link.

I guess this is personal preference, i just think it would be nice to have around my area
What Icon would you want? How about this?

I'll be one that will disagree with Vinny.
Terrain is all about getting to the spot of the cache.
Difficulty is how hard it is to find it once you get there. Cleverness of the hide so to speak.
Vinny and some others try to mix and intertwine the two to some degree but I have always believed them to be totally separate definitons. Anthing lying openly on the ground should be a 1 for difficulty - no matter how hard it is to get there.
A true 5/5 should require special equipment and training to get there --- AND --- several return trips to locate the evilness of the hide because it is hard to locate. My opinion, my read of the definitions.
This I agree with!

Ummm, my armpits?

I'm a Huge fan of Garmin, and don't for one Zillisecond regret getting a 60CSX, but I'll admit that Delorme sure looks nice. I'm sure you won't go wrong with either.
-
to add what Okiebryan just said. I think it would be a great idea for example if you scheduled a release at say 8am, near first light, for safety, that way everyone has a fair shot of going looking for it in light, instead of the Crazy folk, that like to do night caching in the woods alone, by themselves
BTW, I'm heading out now to go grab 3 finds. But seriously, that would be a great idea. I tried to schedule a release of a series so it would happen like this, but the local reviewer here had other plans. Pre-approval days in advance could have solved that.
-
Why not post the info in the Cache page, that will work also?
-
Ugh! Why can you never get these deals from Vendors that ship to CANADA!!
-
I agree with the others, I'm dead against music on a web page, I can't shut off, and I BACK out of it, no matter what the site.

You can use a Mag Mount antenna, that way you do not have to drill a giant hole in the roof of your car.
I think a Mag Mount is the least of your worries if you are adding a radio in the car.

There was a cacher in my area that enjoyed betting with her husband who would be the FTF on her new cahes. She would cheat though by sending me emails to warn me to watch for publication of her new caches. She doesn't bet on me any more as a couple of other cachers in the area have become avid FTF hunters.
Does that make you feel good that you got FTFs because of a tip off? I'm happy to say I EARNED all of mine.

About an hour ago, I got a spectacular view of the station with the shuttle still attached, I went outside and watched it streak across the sky. It never gets old, and I've seen it no less than 10 times. Very cool stuff.
-
WOW! 10,000 that's quite an accomplishment, Best of luck with your Goal!
-
AWESOME! Glad you are enjoying it, it's addictive.
-
Guess I've been lucky, on GPS #3 and Never had a problem with any of them, All Garmin.

Another great idea for loading caches is a program called Geocaching Swiss Army Knife, or GSAK for short. You can find a link through google or through geocaching.com in the software section.
You filter out the caches you want, and send them to the GPS, easy as pie.
Good Luck.

Account name
in How do I...?

I believe it includes everything. Trackables, Forum Name everything. What they do is rename your account, so everything tied to it remains the same. EMail them for more info.
They did a name change for me, and it was before I activated my Travel Bugs, so I can't saw 100% for those. but everything else worked like a champ.
