  2. Well that sure solves that problem. Thanks a lot
  3. I recently went on a cruise and got Caches in several countries but only one souvenir was awarded. What happened? Missing are Colombia, Jamaica, Panama, Belize, and Honduras
  4. Thanks Woodstramp. The part that I really really find interesting is that Topo USA will work with the Garmin. Anyone out there know this for a fact. Just for the record I get 2 1/2 days out of one set of batteries on the trail. I had a old Etrax and hated it that is why I went to the PN-20. As you eluded to Topo is great, I have 9 and have been playing with the idea of getting 10.
  5. I have looked all over for a real comparison of the Delorme PN-60se and the Garmini 62(64)Plus the maps they come with nothing meaningful found, so I am here. I have been using a Delorme GPS for years starting with the PN-20 and now the PN-60SE. My primary use is for backpacking (secondary Geocaching). While backpacking I put it in track mode. When I get home I download the tracks to my Topo USA 9.0 on my computer. I then print out all the details of my hike which include things like start time, location of start to include UTM, the State, county, Avg. Speed, Max speed, time moving, time stopped, all the stats for finish. to name a few. I love Topo USA 9.0 Using my tracks and the stats of my hikes I can reconstruct my hike on paper. I can figure out where I took a picture using the track and my histogram, then all goes into a 3 ring binder (notes, pitures, maps) I have been working on the 2185 miles of the "AT" and Topo USA has the trail on it. My PN-60 works fine and I really have no complaints, other than there is newer stuff.. Ok so now with that outlined......... on to the question. I am thinking of getting the new GPSMAP® 64. You are by now asking "Why" I guess it is because I want a new toy, well maybe. OK enough is enough on to the question. How does the 62 ( 64 not out yet) fill my needs and how good is it? ALL of the following are very important to me.....Mapping, tracking and the ability to load my tracks on to a map when I get home and look at it, to print out the stats from my tracks/hikes, to point at a spot along my tract and get the time, date and location of that spot so I can compare it to my Histogram... One more I can load maps etc on to a SD card and put it in my 60, Now I see the Garmin uses a micro SD card..... Can you put your own maps and whatever on it for use? Now for secondary use Geocaching pros / cons comparing each? I want to thank all for any help in making a decision.
