I have a question for the boards I cant seem to find a good solution for. I oftem travel from Las Vegas to San Luis Obispo thru Tehachapi and paso robles. Is there a good way to find all the caches along that roadside trip? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks Team A.R.G.!!! teamarg.lv@gmail.com

I use Ostia Pharos with my Dell Axim X5 i think it is. I just got back into GC and see that GPXSonar can now export its waypoints for Pharos. I can not find anywhere in the Pharos software to use this file. Can anyone provide some help? thanks rob

Hey all, need a bit of your advice. Basically what are the top 3 GPS units for Geocaching functionality and there key features. I was into it for awhile but had to get out due to a move and trading my Lowrance to have a friend move my crap to Las Vegas. Gettin back into the fun. Thanks for your help..(bow)

I hit 126 in a 26' 2002 Daytona Eliminator (boat) on 2 different occasions....wish i had the pic...we have a pic of the gps speedo but i will have to find it...cant wait for summer!!

Howdy all, I can not seem to find this application. Anyone have a link for it?

how do you guys import waypoints into MapPoint? I have yet to see a good thread on this. Any ideas would be appreciated. TIA

Good afternoon all Here is my delima and question. I use PocketPC 2003 on a dell axim X5 for paperless caching with the Pharos, Bluetooth/Compact Flash GPS Reciever and Software. Is there such a product out there that will allow me to : Import Waypoints into the Map as pushpin or other Geocache Specific marker.(found and unfound would be nice) Take me to the actual Spot, not the nearest street - possible my bad Show map and GPS Data on the same screen I think that is all. I tried MS MapPoint and Pocket Streets but could not directly enter waypoints into pocket streets. Pharos on 2 occasions wanted me to go straight to the middle of the nearest street Note on Pharos, There map program is close to perfect, lacking importable and differnet looking waypoints, i think the center of the street thing is my error in some way. Any Ideas? What do you guys use and with what PocketPC OS?

Dang, can't get it to work. Anyone have a suggestion as to a place to put the pics to link to them? Thanks for posting those links CIB. =)

pics from show, I have all of these in HUGE format that shows very good detail if anyone wants em. If those dont work, here are the links Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3 Pic 4 Pic 5

I am kinda new, been away from the scene for awhile, What is the deal with it needing to be yellow. I love yellow and jeeps by the way. Just Curious Rob

Not to be sceptacle <=(?SP?) but it sounds like "don't buy theres, buy ours" sales line. May be true but i would be interested to see if it could be done. Just a guess Rob

Sorry for the delay folks, Here is what the Garmin folks are saying. Backlight timeout 15sec,30 1min or 2min Backlight level 0%-100% Color schemes 9 - kinda like skins Geoccache mode, seems limited - it is, basically only allows you to set an Icon for Found Caches and not found caches. No Actual "Geocahe" mode Mounts? None Cradle - no Characters in geocache description fields? 10 - Actual this is only a waypoint name field, there is a description field and I believe the numbers were like 45 Characters (maybe wrong but was multiple line of text Car mounts? No Startup screen customized? Yes - you have the ability to put a fair amount of info in here. Autooff features Yes Can it do autorouting? City select cd needed and will only do it on the maps from "City Select" Does it autoroute on 24k topo? City select? Metroguide? Base map? No, No, No Yes Battery life? 30 hours in power save mode? 20-24 hours normal His quote was "that is what the engineers tell us" Find out if the 60 can show distance in yards. If so, can it show yards more than 1/10th of a mile??no - will not display in yards for golf purposes. As far as feel, felt nice, not heavy but not cheap and delicate feeling, Sturdy feel, rubber around the bottom corners. I have a couple pics but need to pull them from my cam, let me know if you are interested in those or the "Specs" from their product sheet. Hope this helps some of you. In general it was very tough to find a Garmin person that knew a lot about these 2 units. MANY of the people strolling by stoppped to check the unit out, I really was impressed by the color of the display and the amount of data it will hold, I believe it was 60 Megs. Rob

According to the main guys at the CES show the estimate the 60C will ship early February and the CS about a month later. To all on the other post with questions for the Reps at CES, I will be heading straight for them tomorrow. Rob

anyone have any questions about this unit? I am at the show and can ask Garmin. Very nice unit. I will check this in the morning for questions.

Good morning (at least here in Vegas), I am looking for some guidance as to the best setup for my axim. I think I know GPXSonar for sure but need hardware advice. Are there any quality Compact Flash GPS units for Pocket PC 2003. I have found some but can not find opinions or epinions about any of em. This lost soul could use a lil GPS Guidance. Oh yeah, What is the difference between GPS and GPSr? Thanks all Rob

TO Add,I am in the exact same boat except that i have Axim x5. Do you Pocket PC users use a CF GPS card or connect it via some other way. I am thinking either CF GPS or BlueTooth. What do you recommend? are these acurate at all or cheesy? TIA Rob
