you all have been so helpful! (GCVHGA) (GC12EQH) we are using Garmin Streetpilot c330 I think we are going out tonight again at some at a local park that might not be so hard.

We are brand spanking new to geocaching. We went and looked for 2 caches near our house. Wooded area... we went twice and couldn't find anything. To tell you the truth we didn't know what we were looking for. Since it was are first one, we didn't know what type of container it is usually in? Is it ever hanging from a tree? Buried in the ground? We didn't know whether to look up or down lol We are hoping to do more but the kids are going to lose interest if we always come home empty handed

Okay thanks, darn.. I wish I could just enter them. Maybe in a few months I can give dh this GPS and get one that you can enter coordinates into (is that the Garmin Colorado I keep hearing about?) thanks for helping a newbie! You definitely want to enter the coordinates with your PC, no matter what unit you have. Manually entering coordinates introduces way too many chances for mistakes. EasyGPS is a free download. Send the coordinates from the download section of the cache page (as a GPX file) and open it with EasyGPS. From there send it to your C330 and it will be in your favorites folder. You will need the USB cable and have the USB drivers installed on your PC. wow this is way over my head. I did download everything just have no idea how to use it... lol. Will have hubby take a look. We walked again just to check.. this cache is sooooo close to our house it's crazy. We just can't find it without gps. Thanks!

I have a Garmin StreetPilot c330 The kids are excited because we have two caches behind our house and I can't for the life of me figure out my Gps for wayward points
