  1. I bought my Blazer 12 back in the 1990s (when SA made accuracy questions less relevant). When I started geocaching with it I found that the lack of a third digit in Lat/Lon limited my ability to find well-hidden caches. I switched to using UTM and it worked pretty well. If you don't mind the limitations of hand entering every waypoint and lack of computer connectivity, it will work fine. If you find you really enjoy the sport, you can always get something more modern in the future (and probably get your money back selling the Blazer on eBay again). I just got a Meridian Gold and it certainly is easier and faster to use.

  2. I've been using UTM for purely pragmatic reasons. My Blazer 12 is one digit shy of a precise waypoint in Lat/Lon :mad: . UTM gets me closer, but it's tricky for puzzle caches, switching back and forth in the field. Fortunately, a new Meridian Gold is on the way, so I doubt if I'll be using UTM (or the good old Blazer) as often in the future.

  3. I spent a lot of time deliberating over this very item - usually I use my email address (or part of it) or something else Gator-related.  But I like the more game-centered name, and I like the way it sounds out loud

    I, too, wanted something "gator-related" that had to do with the game. (I'm something of an alligator enthusiast). I think what I finally came up with fit the bill nicely.
