Does an inreach2 work for geocaching
Atlas Cached replied to Basicbirdy's topic in GPS technology and devices
100% agree with Moun10Bike. -
Garmin GPS advice please!
Atlas Cached replied to osmartinspereira's topic in GPS technology and devices
I would try to find a good used Oregon 7x0 - this has always been my favorite Geocaching GPS. They really are hard to beat. Or, as others have suggested, if you can wait a little longer, mayber something new will come out later this year. -
Garmin 'GPS xx' are not mapping devices while 'GPSMap xx' or 'GPSMAP xx' devices are. The closest thing to the GPS 73 with mapping capability would be the GPSMAP 78.

Ribertlipe, you are responding to many baseless and false claims here.... 🙄 -

I still believe the Oregon 7x0 is the best bang for the buck 'touchscreen' Geocaching GPSr available. They can still be found in good working order.
-
This is one reason I always load my data to micro SD cards. Remove, reboot, install, reboot.
-
If memory serves, you can drop the GPX files directly into a 'Geocache' folder in the GC. Some additional info available at GPSrChive.

Oregon 7x0 series was always the best bang for the buck.

Yes, completely safe. 2000mAh batteries will provide less run time with a longer charge cycle lifetime compared to 2400mAh batteries. More info at GPSrChive > GPSMAP 66 > Operation > Power Sources.

Carefully check and verify the account used to download the geocaches to the device. If that person has found them, they will be marked as found geocaches. Share the Geocache GPX file from your Oregon and we can verify that for you!
-
The latest Garmins with GCLive will load them to your device for you via Bluetooth link to your phone, can't get any easier!

Has GPS accuracy gotten worse in the last 10 years?
Atlas Cached replied to jd350az's topic in GPS technology and devices
Didn't matter how accurate your GPSr is when so many cache hiders are not taking the time to collect good coordinates with good equipment for their hides. If they are off by 30' (or more) when they publish, you are likely to be even farther away when you think you are at GZ. -
Modern Garmin devices do everything your Magellan will do, and much, much more. You can see very detailed examples and walk throughs at GPSrChive.com You can also learn about the various methods to get geocaches loaded to your Garmin by visiting GPSrChive > How To... > Geocache

Since you are frequently in areas with no cell service, you will need to load all geocache data prior to each trip. This is not difficult to do once you create some PQs for the desired region, download them and copy the GPX files to the GPX folder on any modern Garmin GPSr. Now you just need to determine which model you want...

So, Red90, are you happy with those numbers? -
Custom Geocaching Symbols for Garmin GPS
Atlas Cached replied to Mineral2's topic in GPS technology and devices
I just meant since they are no longer produced and no newer unit from Garmin. -

Hans, you sure are getting some good use out of that Oregon 7x0! Do you have a replacement for it should it ever fail or be lost? -
Custom Geocaching Symbols for Garmin GPS
Atlas Cached replied to Mineral2's topic in GPS technology and devices
Can you share the GPX file? Also, just found this at Lab2GPX: Here is your best solution: Goto GPSrChive > How To... > Waymark > Export Waymarks as Geocaches And follow all the instructions there very carefully, but use your LabCache GPX data instead of Waymark GPX data. You will have to choose or create a LabCache symbol to copy to [GPSr]\Garmin\CustomSymbols\Geocache.bmp. -
Garmin eTrex vs. eTrex 10 vs. eTrex SE
Atlas Cached replied to modernhorizons3's topic in GPS technology and devices
Maybe not double 🤔 -
Garmin eTrex vs. eTrex 10 vs. eTrex SE
Atlas Cached replied to modernhorizons3's topic in GPS technology and devices
The SE and Solar will be noticeably more accurate, however, that doesn't mean geocache coordinates are that accurate. If your current device is getting you within 15-30 feet, you wouldn't want to upgrade for this reason alone. Some of their other features may make it worth an upgrade. -
Garmin Montana 700i odometer reading
Atlas Cached replied to Nerves's topic in GPS technology and devices
No work around necessary. Just need to look at the correct data field. Odometer: A running tally of the distance traveled for all trips. Trip Odometer: A running tally of the distance traveled since the last reset. -
