  1. For a small fee even that can be made to happen!
  2. BTW, I was in your position a while ago about which Garmin and the choice was made when they came out with the $50.00 rebate. That $50 will help on accessories.
  3. I have the 60CSx and I think it is the greatest gps unit in the world. I have had the Garmin GPS III and the GPS V. I also like the Magellan 400 as my girlfriend has one that I have used from time to time. The downside to Magellan is that they do not use AAA or AA batteries and they have a real weirdly engineered way attaching the power/computer cord. I even know of an individual that had the 600 and stripped the screw head from his unit because it is so awkward to attach. Magellan did replace it for him but he had to send it in and that was down time. One other thing, when we go into a heavily wooded area my girlfriends Magellan will loose signal (and where my GPS V would also) but not my 60CSx. Down side of the 60CSx is that it uses about twice the power in the electronic compass mode. Upside for Magellan is that the waypoints are easy to download. Hope this helps.
  4. If you go to http://www8.garmin.com/whatsNew/currentpromotions/ you will see that Garmin is offering a $50 rebate on their 60s and other promotions. My $.02 worth...
  5. I am looking for a used antenna for my Garmin GPS III+. Please advise if you have one and the price. Mine was damaged and I would like to replace it with another. I would even consider a broken or unworkable III or V as long as it had the antenna with it. Thanks in advance...alphawolf88
  6. Thank you so much for your info and I think the primer is great. I am printing it out to give to my girlfriend (and there is so much useful info I will use it too). Thank you again and sorry to hear that your shoes are wet! All the best and stay healthy...
  7. I have often seen posts where the cache is discribed as two miles from this co-ord or within one mile of that co-ord. Can anyone tell me approx how many tenths of a degree one could use to approximate a mile? Thanks in advance...alphawolf88
  8. I have a Garmin III but have been looking at the Explorist 500 or 600. My girlfriend is looking at the 210. I hope this is that right place to ask these questions . First, what is the difference between the 500 an the 600 (other than $50.00) as the specs look identical and is it worth the extra money? Second, my girlfriend wanted to know if the 210 would make her a good first unit? Thanks for the time and bandwidth.
