Where were all the people selling these a week ago, before I bought mine. Grrrrr.
Good luck with the sale.

I don't have US TOPO, but to give you an idea, the ENTIRE State of Texas, from City Navigator 2008 NT, is 68.6MB
As for TOPO, the Entire Privince of Ontario (Which is HUGE) is about 195MB.
It all depends on the size of the state, and which maps.

VE3RCC and VE3RCS. Look that up in your on-line and try to get my address.
Actually, I was able to get your address very easily Dennis!
Who's Dennis? Might want to check that again.

I was just going to say that, why would ANYONE want the entire US on 1 card? Have your home area, maybe with a 200Mi radius loaded, that's more than enough. Unless you plan to do a long haul, in which case, load more. But why would you want to load it full with places you'll never make it to?

Some people are laced with Paranoia. If someone wanted to find out who I am bad enough, they'd find another way to do it. Ever enter your user name in google and see what it pops up? If I was worried, I'd uplug, and throw a magnet across my HD.
I've only been in this hobby a short time, and I've had messages from more than a few HAMs, so Yes, it appears I'm noticed, and those people were nothing but friendly. Infact I met a HAM I used to talk to from way back, about 14 or 15 years ago, because he saw my callsign pop up on here.
Each to their own I guess, I think your probably typing away wearing an Armadillo Helmet.

I agree with Boda, he answered the same way, I would have.

this probably has not come out the way I meant for it to, as I've had major lack of sleep here for a while ...
Yeah, I think your right there.
Read your past couple of posts, and see how much you are contradicting yourself. Get some sleep.

I have a NUVI 250, and to be honest It's ONLY good for getting to the Caches. I use the NUVI to get me there and a Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx to find the cache.
The trouble with the NUVI, is that if your close to a road, it will stick to the road, so getting to the exact spot, will be very difficult. Don't get me wrong, it CAN be done, but a NUVI is not a good idea. If you drop it, your done. As for the driving part, the NUVI is a great unit. Maybe you can look at a cheap handheld as well, if your strapped for cash.
Just an idea. Good luck in your quest.

Thanks Guys, It's not exactly what I want to do, but I guess it's the next best thing, as it does what I want. I appreciate the info.

Hi,
I have TOPO Canada V2, and the entire Province of Ontario has 902 Maps, due to the fact that each one covers a smaller area. Having 902 maps loaded onto my Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx, creates a problem, when I want to switch between TOPO and Street maps.
Is there any way to combine those 902 Maps into 1 Map, so that I only have to turn on or off 1 map, instead of scroll through 902?
Any help is appreciate. Thanks.

Today is me best day yet. Found my FIRST cache on January 14'th 2008,
Today I found (With my Daughter who's 11) 14. We found our first at 12:55pm and out last at 5:10pm Had a great time.

twas wondering if it would get me burned if I put copied dvd's in there instead of originals. I would not be profiting from it, obviously, but it's a real grey zone.
I don't see a Grey Zone anywhere, it's a RED ZONE, as In, Illegal, like the other poster said. You get caught, you get burned, it's not worth it.

For those who have City Navigator, how do you like it for auto driving routing? Does it give you turn by turn directions? I have a Garmin GPS Map60Csx and have topo but not CN. I do have a car nuvi unit that uses the same CN software. I was just curious about what people think about the CN on the hand held unit.
I have CN NT 2008 and tried it out today on the 60CSx, and it worked just the same as it does on my NUVI. I just got the 60CSx this week, and I was impressed how well it works for driving. I also have TOPO on it, and that works fairly well for driving, but if you want all the streets, you Need the City Navigator. Now I've got a GPS with driving directions for each car.
So, since I got TOPO and CN, I've got the best of both worlds on the 60CSx, CN for driving and TOPO for caching. I'd NOT recommend City Navigator for caching alone, it's not meant for that.

Anyone can customize their profile page.
So how do you get a cool profile page like this:
http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=cc...c1-56a94b2e4b18
With the maps and stats and stuff?
Umm, by pasting the code. That's run with GSAK with a Macro. And it works awesome. I run mine, view teh source code then paste it into my profile.

I can't rave about the Garmin GPSMAP60CSx enough. I have it, with TOPO Maps installed. I just got it during the week, after using an Older Garmin 12XL, that'a bout 14 years old now, it did the job, but not like the 60CSx. I was out today with the kids, and a River prevented me from getting to the next cache, so I zoomed the map down and followed the river on the map page to find a suitable crossing spot. Try doing that with a No Map capable GPS, and it's accurate.
I also have a Garmin NUVI, which I use for driving to get close to the cache, then jump out with the 60, to go get it.
It's pricey, but seems to be the GPS of choice at the moment, without going nuts and splurging on a Colorado.
Good luck in your quest.

I'm all for it, but I don't use HF in the vehicle. At least I could chat from home.

FTF
in How do I...?
Try to catch one that's published when it's dark, then plan to leave, so that you arrive at the cache at first light.
Or go for it in the dark. We've gone for several at night and even meet other FTF racers at night. Our latest/earliest was a 2 mile hike through the woods at 1AM.
True. Your in Toronto, go out there and grab the 2 I placed in Guelph Friday Evening
No one's logged them yet. Once I order my FENIX Flashlight, I may have to try some night hunts. Sounds fun.

FTF
in How do I...?
A lot of it is LUCK as well. Try to catch one that's published when it's dark, then plan to leave, so that you arrive at the cache at first light. That strategy has nailed me 4 FTFs and I've only been doing this for 3 weeks now.
Best of luck, grabbing a FTF is awesome. I did it, with my 2 kids.

Thanks for the reply, I just downloaded GPXSonar a few minutes ago, and my phone is saying it's not a valid PPC File. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello, I have an HTC Touch phone with Windows Mobile onboard. I'm presently using the web browser of the phone to connect to my own personal website where I have Geocache data stored, to get data, when I'd like to just upload it to the phone.
Can anyone tell me which software I can install where I can use Geocaching data on the phone? I'm using GSAK as well. It would be great not to have to keep printing out sheets, when I have the phone with me already.
Any help is appreciated. thanks in advance.
