Thanks for that... Here's a nice easy one.. Which murder weapon in “Cluedo” would be second alphabetically ?

Would it be George Dixon... aka Dixon of Dock green.. Only a guess as its an old cop show...lol

Hi, I have just got an IPAQ 2790 (running windows mobile 5) and its running great with cachmate for paperless notes. However I have just been given a Socketcom GPS kit GPS rcvr and MyNavigator software. The maps load of but even though I have done everything it says in the manual there is no way can i get the GPS position to appear on the pda even though the bluetooth device is visible. I think it may have something to do with the inbound and outbbound COM ports used but thats as far as i can get. Any help or idea would be greatfully rcvd. Thanks

Count me in on the essex one

Update. Myself and Master Mariner are in contact with the charity and we will be having a meeting with them late in August. The possible treasure-hunt will be next year, as more information is available we will keep you all posted on the GAGB forum.

I live on the outskirts of London and work in the city centre, will try to help if you need it.

Hi.. Just got a new GPSMAP60csx and need some help in getting the string to show more that the frist so many letters of the hint: I am running it as follows: Waypoint name: %code-%bug=YN Waypoint description: %hint I thought this gps had up to 88 characters available in the description?

Thanks... when it arrives I will see how to unlock it (or has anyone got any info on how to do this ?) If its included and free it will do me Thanks again for all the advise

Thanks for the prompt replies and advise, when it arrives i will try the freebie first... if thats not what i want i will go for the Topo maps..

Just purchased a new GPS60CSX (hope its a good choice..) My question is is it worth getting additional maps, if so what is available for the UK (dont want to spend a fortune), will only be using it for contours, rivers etc as I have a seperate satnav for the roads.

OK so I am a newbie... does this mean I have to drive the 236 miles there so I cant find it.. then drive 236 miles home so I cant log it as well

Thanks for all your help.. Its nice to see how helpful people are. Am off to get a cable now and will try EasyGPS to start with and then will see about upgrading to Premium membership and then go for GSAK. Have got a number of caches local to me to go and find so if the weather holds I may be off tomorrow to go and find my first one..

Hi all. Very new to this (in fact only heard of Geocaching a week ago) but the idea seemed too good to miss, as me and the wife go camping/caravanning a lot and enjoy walks so we thought my not make it more interesting, so here I am. Just got a Garmin Etrex H (dont need maps really as I have a car mounted sat nav which will take me most of the way to a site, and being ex forces I can understand heading/bearing etc.) however due to a stock problem at the store I am waiting for the serial port cable so I can connect it to my laptop, and this is where my first question will arrise, can someone tell me the best software to use to get the co-ords from the website direct to my handheld. and is there any software to back up the device in case of power failure or damage, and is it worth getting a serialport/usb converter. Any other hints, tips, usefull items or basic rules especially UK related will be gratefully rcvd. Thanks in advance
