I got a Geomate Jr. & the update cable from Amazon the other day for $46 shipped. I was kinda leery about getting at first because of its lack of features but for $46 I figured what the heck. I'm about ready to send it back. When I update it it will do nothing and if i press the update button while it isn't doing anything i get "You are currently updating your device. We recommend you wait till update is complete", or I get a "NAVIT_STATUS_ERROR". If i select an update i get "Type Error: "Null" is null or not an object". I've already gone through one set of batteries trying to update it. Batteries in my Etrex will easily last a year so i find it discouraging that batteries in this thing only last a few hours. Lame is to nice of a word to describe Geomates "support" pages on their website. If i don't get it figured out in the next couple of days (or the second set of batteries) it will be going back to Amazon.

Thanks! I didn't think about doing it that way.

I was going to do a search for "pda paperless" because I'm thinking about picking up a cheap pda to start cacheing paperless but this site won't allow it because pda is less than five letters. I can understand requiring a minumum number of letters in a word but five seems ridiculus. I did a search for "paperless" and looked through three pages of results and didn't find what i was looking for. Is there a way around this sites limited search functions?

Thanks fratermus & Chuy!. I see how to do it now. I downloaded the manual a couple days ago. I haven't had time to read it yet just skimmed through it. I stopped at Walmart after work and got a cable for it. It needs a mini 5pin usb. Got home uploaded the some cordinates and went out with my 6 year old son and we found our first cache. He was very excited.

I just got my first GPS a Garmin Legend C. I got it on eBay and I don't have a USB cable for it yet. Is there any way to enter coordinates without the cable? I can't find in the manual how to or in the menus on the Legend to put in coordinates. I found how to look for cities or address's and even intersections but no way to enter coordinates. Thanks Daren
