I have spent a lot of time lately caching, and I have only found about 1/5 of the caches I look for. What can I do in the event that I really get stumped on a cache? Is there some way I can get a little extra help, or is that against the rules? Thanks in advance, -Timmy-

I just bought a used (but in perfect condition) Garmin GPS 72. But every time I turn it on, it says "Acquiring Satellites" and eventually it will say "Poor satellite reception". What do I do? How do I make it work? I'm totally new to Caching, so I could use some help. Thanks. -Timmy-

I don't know what all of these abbreviations mean. I saw this one: "TL-LN, SL. TFTC" What does that mean? Is there a list of abbreviations and definitions I can see? Thanks for help! -Timmy-

I am really REALLY new to Geocaching, but I really like it! I figured it's time to get a GPS. I found a Magellan Explorist 500le for $95. Is this a good GPS for a beginner, or is the interface too confusing (just so you know, I don't really even know how to use a compass). So I'm pretty illiterate concerning all of this stuff. Would I be able to use it easily? Thanks! -Tim- P.S. Does anyone know if this GPS system will work in my car like to help me get driving directions? I feel like an idiot asking these questions, but I gotta start somewhere.

I am really REALLY new to GeoCaching, but I really enjoy it! I decided it's time to get a GPS. Is the Magellan eXplorist 500 a good GPS for a beginner who has no experience working a GPS? Will I be able to use it to find caches easily? I appreciate any help! Thanks, -Timmy-
