That of course, was the solution. What a dufus, I can't believe I missed that. Once I entered the cords into the cords update pane, all worked as it should. In my own defense..... aw never mind, that was just a goof up! Thanks for the help ya'll!!!

In the past I've had to adjust coordinates when muggles made me move the cache a few feet. Never had a problem changing them. Tonight? Not the case - I have tried several times to change the coords on GC14B8F with no luck. When I edit the page, scrolling down I see "You can modify your cache coordinates via a log entry." and that takes me to the "Post a new log" page where the "Update Coordinates" box is preselected. When I paste in the new coords and click on SUBMIT LOG ENTRY, I'm presented with a verification page asking, "Are you sure you want to change the coordinates for this listing?" to which I respond Yes. I'm then presented with a view of the page that looks like this Update Coordinates 11/21/2016 N 40° 54.807 W 081° 28.436 Coordinates changed from: N 40° 54.807 W 81° 28.436 Coordinates changed to: N 40° 54.807 W 81° 28.436 Distance from original: 0.0 feet or 0.0 meters. New cords N 40° 54.808 W 081° 28.423 As you can see, this did not change the cache coords to the new ones N 40° 54.808 W 081° 28.423 Any thoughts would be appreciated

We just did your puzzle cache and loved it. It was one of the best. I like the challenge of solving the puzzle. Much better then a Walmark cache.

By happenstance, I ended up with the data cable and a separate power cable for my Sportrak Pro. Both cables are Magellan and both have molded connectors. My goal is to splice the power cable into the data cable so that I can interface my laptop in the car and still use vehicle power. I have already determined pinouts and am confident I can splice the whole affair correctly and in a cosmetically acceptable manner. Here's the question: the data cable only uses three of the contacts that connect to the GPS. The fourth contact (+3 volts) is physically on the connector, but I have no idea if it is connected to a wire inside the cable. It doesn't "ohm out" to the RS-232 connector which makes sense because there's no requirement to have +3 volts routed to that connector. I hate to cut the wire apart only to find it really only has 3 conductors. Has anyone done this before or been unfortunate enough to have acccidentally ripped their data cable apart and could tell me how many wires are inside?

I recall reading a similar statement in the paperwork that came with my Sportrak Pro, and sure enough within the first week or two on a very cold and dry day, the same thing happened. Hasn't happened since, so I guess with Magellan's acknowledgement and the cold reality of seeing it first hand, it's just a problem to live with. I suspect GotGPS was on target with his comment on the exposed connectors on the back - any one of them can be conductors in a discharge scenario. Don't forget though, with ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) you don't have to actually touch or draw a spark to have a problem. Mere proximity can cause the problem, generally less than a few inches. We have meters at work that can measure the electrostatic field generated by various objects and you would be amazed at the voltages created just by squirming a bit in your chair or shuffling your feet. Dismounting soapbox now.
