I haven't had to use it yet, but my line for tree "examinations" is something along the line of "I'm checking for (insert tree type here) Canker". And just hope that the person isn't a tree expert

I started with an Etrex Legend, the blue one, it would lose signal under light tree cover. I upgraded to an Oregon and I can sit in my basement, under two stories, and get a decent signal. At present, I'm locked on to 7 satellites and the unit is reporting an accuracy of 11 metres.

The Ipaq 2215 has a supercap as a temporary backup while you change batteries. It's supposed to give you several minutes grace. As the other poster said, yours is probably done dead. You could get it replaced, or order the supercap and replace it yourself, but you have to be handy with a soldering iron, as it is soldered to the board. Or you could get a charging unit for your car. Failing that, you could get one of these http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI-1173/...ry+Booster.html That may be your best solution, a little more to carry around with you, but probably worth it.

When I'm planning a day out somewhere I just print the map from Geocaching.com. I'll find a cache in the area I'm going to, click on the second map window and then zoom to the appropriate level so that I get the caches I want, and then print that out. Makes it easier to plan a route that way.

Wow! I wonder why it hasn't been logged yet I'm not answering this because I cheated.

Stagunner gets the right to ask the next question. Yup, you're it

Well alright then, we all know about Canada's first Geocache, this is related. Who was the artisan that crafted the monument honouring that first cache? Keith Elliot aka Wallace River Yup, you're it

Although probably wrong, I'll give this a go, and it's the only cheese producer I know of. Down here just off the 401 there's a place that was featured on tv a couple of years ago. They produced the biggest cheese in Canada? If I remember it was situated near the Elmhurst Inn at Ingersoll.

I am/was in the same situation, upgrading from a Etrex Legend and PDA. I've been reading the forums and reviews and after much soul searching and gnashing of teeth I opted for an Oregon. From what I've been reading it's a very good unit, display is harder to read in sunlight but not impossible. Accuracy is on par with other top end units, and the paperless caching (without having to tote around a pda) was the clincher for me. It's in the mail

That looks really good, how do you get it to spray those patterns, must be like that tartan paint

Hmmm.... I wonder if torrenting it would be more reliable....except I've never torrented anything before, so I'm not sure of exactly how to do it (and most of the torrent stuff I've looked at it pretty inappropriate to post something like this to...) Has anyone managed to successfully download it? Dale It's coming through the pipe right now at 450KB/Sec, just over an hour to go. Ray
