Here is where I download my log sheets and note http://www.techblazer.com/geocaching-log-sheets/

Go to "Your Profile" then "Your Account Details" and then to "Your location " and enter your location city state and adjust the map to pinpoint your location.

I load my different Gpx files for different locations on memory cards I just change the card instead of having to reload the unit. lets you get every thing ready before your trip. just make sure you do not have gpx file in the internal memory this counts against your GPS limit

I got the same issue a random cache some where in the usa many miles away

Run the " my Finds" in pocket queries "You can receive a Pocket Query containing a list of all the caches you have found, along with your log entries. Running this query will add it to the current queue for the day."

New update for Colorado 300 also (Changes made from version 3.00 to 3.10: Added support for Garmin Custom Maps Improved along road routing performance Improved map panning and zooming ) http://www8.garmin.com/software/Colorado300_310.exe

Why dont they just add a Nano category and move on. Then you could filter them out and make every ones life easy.

I guess I was nervous about using the store name since a Cache I had placed had a store name in it and got shot down . In the forums does this rule apply?

I think I will give them a try C***Co has a good return plan If they dont work out. I had tryed another cheap brand that kept discharging I gave up on them. It would be nice to have a set ready to go when I'am that dosnt discharge. Thanks.

I load different areas on SD cards as gpx files I just change cards for a new area. If you have that capability on your GPS it works great .

Found this at are local C***Co the whole set $19.99 is this a good deal for starting out needing rechargeable batteries. Not sure if available at all stores . "Kit Contents: 1 eneloop Ni-MH battery charger, 8 AA eneloop batteries, 2 AAA eneloop batteries, 4 C size adapters, 4 D size adapters "

Using the Duracell rechargeables 2000 mAh that come precharged they have done real well. I think they are simillar to the Sanyo Eneloops I also use the Lacrosse Technology BC-9009 charger.

I have used JB weld it is really tough the only thing is it has iron in the mix so you will see it cover your magnet but it can be remove before it gets full strength. Rough up the plastic first . I tried the glue gun to are hot sun did melt it to.

There are other aplications besides Geocaching and the Military. surveyors, contsruction rely on GPS for doing there work. They just lined a 36 mile canal near us it was all GPS surveyed for proper slope.

Hi I was in Oregon on vacation almost every cache had these great heavy duty little pill zip lock bags. I talked to some of the local cachers they told me they were available at the Safeway store in the parmacy department. You might check some of your pharmacys in chain stores.

I have set my radius alerts at different settings 3000 ft, 1800 and so on. Some times I miss the cache cause I drove by the turn off . Sometime it sounds like I won the big one alarm just keeps chiming in a cache rich area. My question from those that use this feature what do you think is the best setting . It would be nice to be able to change it on the unit or turn off the feature so you can navigate with out all the alerts. Thanks

Ok I get it export my hides as POIs then they will be seperated from the Geocahe list great ideal. Thanks

Hi was wandering if I was doing something wrong when loading my caches on the Colo. 300 I like to have my Caches on it just incase I need to do matinance I hid them in terain that I just cant walk up to them it all looks the same. My main concern is when I install them they show up as little green caches just like the one that I would be looking for should they be showing up as a different icon. I use the GSAK macro Colorado/Oregon GPX Export Thanks

So, um, where did you load to and what data if your computer does recognize the internal memory? All you are going to be able to load to the card and use with the unit are maps and poi's... After deleting the Geocaches on the unit I used Gsak and it loaded the new ones you still can not see the internal memory . I was able to put all my maps on the sd card with mapsource. after I went to Setup Interface USB mass storage The unit doesn't have any internal memory you can see, that's what the specs mean on Gamin's page where it says " Built-in memory: no ". If GSAK can load waypoints to the unit, then it is seeing the unit's waypoint/track/route memory. You can not mount that memory like a drive. It doesn't sound like you are having a problem at all with the unit except your expectations on how it should work. You no you are right I think my problem is I have been using a Colorado and I can see both drives on it I was geting the vista out for vacation so my wife has something to look at to.I guess I forgot how the vista loads files after using the Colorado. Thanks for your info

I downloaded with no problem did not loose any data. The averaging will be a nice addition for placing geocaches will have to give it a try. heading on a 1100 mile trip. Still have my Vista Hcx for backup.

Thanks I have not seen that menu showing the card data. My main problem is it does not reconize the internal memory when hooked to my computer I did get it to load the new data.

Well I found a way to get the gpx files loaded I erased all geocaches off the unit and then loaded with gsak It worked but it use to show up on the list of drives. Still would like to be able to see the garmin drive on the Vista Hcx to see how much memory is left.

Hi getting ready to go on Vacation was going to update the gpx files with the route we are taking but the computer does not reconize the Garmin Vista tried it on Xp And Vista computers reloaded the drivers . I can go to the interface and it finds the micro sd card but cannot find the main unit. Help!

I found it in Walmarts paint section they have about every color duct tape I think that they Make.
