    Streets & Trips 2005

    in Canada

    Posted · Edited by ertyu

    From the product descriptions:

     

    2005

    More than 5.4 million miles of routable local, city, state, and highway roads in the United States and Canada—representing the 35,000+ U.S. and 700,000+ Canadian postal codes.

     

    2004

    Over 6.7 million miles of routable local, city, state, and highway roads, representing more than 35,000 U.S. ZIP Codes and 700,000 Canadian Postal Codes.

     

    Seems like a major back step, I'm suprised they'd even put this in the description.

    Best Times To Hide A Cache

    in Canada

    Posted

    Like previous posters mentioned, I don't know that it matters when you hide, might be easier in some seasons, but you must consider all seasons.

     

    You need to survive long cold winters intact, even if it can't be found in winter. Need to make sure you are not going to flood out in spring. Make sure there isn't too much foliage hiding you in summer or the opposite for fall, make sure you're not just hiding behind foliage.

    Help, My Gpsr Ticks 6 Times Per Second

    Time is fairly accurate, shouldn't be off by much and the clock will tick fast well beyond accurate time advancing more than an hour ahead before I've given up and powered it off. Its not new, I've had it since last year and it just started doing this 2 weeks ago. I've tried it several different days at several different times, no difference. Left it sit outside for a good hour without moving, nothing. (You should see the track log, haha) Tried reinitializing it a couple times. That seems to bring the clock back inline until it locks on to a satellite again.

    Help, My Gpsr Ticks 6 Times Per Second

    My unit has picked up a flaw. Intermittently the clock will tick ~6 times per second, making it hopelessly lost. It seems to only happen once its locked onto at least one satellite, and not always there after. It appears to only affect the clock it uses for position while turned on, as turning it off and on again resets the clock to the correct time. Its a Magellan Meridian Gold. Any ideas? I've been waiting a couple days for a response from tech support, nothing yet.

    What Is This?

    No numbers and no card.

    I've seen and had fun with Canadian Geocoins before.

    Didn't find a user "GD", but who knows.

    I found it in Bunns Creek Cache GCGGJC, but didn't see any log that looked like it described the item.

    It looked rather official looking with Groundspeak and their logo on it, I figured when I got home I would find it in the store, but no such luck.

    Advice And Suggestions

    I've never quite figured out that product. The Yellow SE model. Its not on Magellans site and only seems to pop up at the big retailers. If it does indeed have 16mb internal memory, then its comparable to a Meridian Gold. It doesn't mention what the Mapsend CD is, but in the accessories list below "Mapsend CD" is Canada S&D.

     

    The Merdian Gold Special Edition Canada, which would be an identical package if the SE has 16mb and includes Canada S&D, and it goes for $360 - $50us rebate at gpscentral.ca or gpscity.ca. I think this might be a better route.

    Magellan Meridian Gold Rebate offer?

    in Canada

    I sent in the earlier $75 rebate and they denied it saying it was outside the valid dates. I emailed back saying it was within the dates and it became valid. So contact them and see what they say. I hope you kept a copy of everything you sent it, these rebates barons have a bad habit of loosing things and requiring extra copies of stuff to prove its valid.
