  1. Thanks for all the quick responses!! The batteries were new, changed them before I left the house. As for settling down, could be. Although I wandered around in a several hundred foot radius for awhile and my zero point remained the same. But... could be. As for the latest software... I just bought it, doesn't that count for anything?!? LOL I pro'lly should do that! Initializing... I was gonna write my initials on it, but decided not to. <har har> Haven't done that either. Any hints? any one, any one? Ride'on, ~CRASH!~
  2. Hey all, Brand spankin' new to the Geo cache hunt. I've got a Garmin V and last night went with a group of friends on my first hunt. At the first location, we got to the "parking area" just fine. When on foot trying to zero in on the exact coordinates, my unit gave a reading quite different than my buddies. My 0 foot mark was 187 feet off from his units dead on mark. Accuracy was within 14 feet according to the unit. We found the cache right near his mark. At the second cache hunt mine was off 150 feet from his and the location. So what gives? I would'a figured for a higher priced unit, it'd at least be somewhat accurate. 150 feet off is the difference between a fun hike and an all night excursion! This topic may have been covered, so sorry if so. But I'd like to hide a cache or two, but I'm hessitant to trust my unit. Am I doing something wrong? Or should I return this particular unit? Thanks in advance! Ride'on, ~CRASH!~
  3. Hey all! New here. "CRASH!" The short answer is... I tend to CRASH things. Mostly motorcycles, but also cars, trucks... pretty much anything else with wheels and some things without. (Don't ask about the shopping cart!) <long story ahead> I was first coined with the name CRASH at 3 months old. My mom totaled a '55 Tbird. I was thrown onto the floorboards and the car crumpled around me. After they pulled the wreckage from around me, they found me fine and unphased.The local paper referred to me as "CRASH baby". I guess from birth I was an adreneline junkie! I went on to a long life (well 34 years) of CRASHing things. About 4 years ago I started a motorcycle club (CRASH! Club) both online and in tha flesh. To date the online club has over 400 members. We have "CRASH! Crew racing" team for about a dozen of us that race motorcycles. Funny thing is, NO ONE refers to me by my given name. There are people that have known me for over a year that never knew my given name. When someone does call me by my god given ('er parent given) name, It sounds strange to me. Yeah, I should seek help! LOL Now a bunch of CRASH! Clubbers are getting GPS's and Geocache hunting. I guess we'll start "CRASH! Crew" the Geocache team. Ride'on, ~CRASH!~
