Thanks for the advice, never thought of that!! do you know any search engines I could use??? 🙄 Also why would people need my answer when you've ordered them all to search the Internet for answers? Which btw is also an admirable trait, goes well with your sarcasm!

Never mind. I got an answer.

Hi all, Sorry if this is a stupid question but I was wondering whether I could power my Garmin Oregon 700 with 2 x lithium ion 14500 batteries? The batteries are rated at 3.7v and around 600 mAh. I use them in my AA battery powered LED torches to create a large amount of lumens, but I wondered if the Oregon 700 is rated for them. The manual is pretty vague. Again sorry if stupid question. Btw 14500 battery is equivalent in size to AA Thanks. G McC

Sorry this is for Mineral2 I'm new to the forums and didn't know about replying. Sorry. Yeah thanks. I've seen some debate over the size recognised by units and also that the class relates only to write speed and, as such, is a moot point. I'm gonna plump with a Sandisk 32Gb class 10 as it gives me options for other peripherals. Thanks again for your reply. Another quick question... do I need to format the SD? I see people talking about FAT32 and the like...? G McC

Hi all, I've just received my Oregon 700, it's my first GPS and I have a question about SD cards. Which SD card do you recommend? (Size, speed class etc.). I plan to store as much Birdseye mapping as I can whilst I have a years subscription. Thanks for you help G McC

This doesn't answer your question but I gotta know. Which country is this? Every country started with just one cache. It's sunny Somalia

Thanks for the idea. I'll look into it.

Hello all, I'm a muggle and always have been! I've just recently dipped my toe into the world of geocaching and I must say the water feels nice! I haven't had a find yet, but I plan to soon. I'm a bit hampered though. I'm currently away from home in a country with only a solitary cache. I plan to find it soon, and intend to leave a travel bug to see if it follows me home. I think finding out about geocaching in a place with only one cache is bittersweet. It's bad because I am limited to what I can find, but good as I can leave a lasting impression by doubling the cache count if I leave my own cache. This leads me to a dilemma, is it good geocaching form to hide a cache and then leave the country? Essentially leaving it to fend for itself? What's your opinion? I really want to leave a cache here as I will never be here again and I have a great idea about a cache. But if my legacy will just be muggled or the such like, is it worth it? I know I have no finds etc. but I already know I will like geocaching (as an avid orienteerer, I like finding stuff in the woods), plus I've committed myself to an Oregon 700 (couldn't resist the tax free price!) so I have to do it now! Although still an official muggle, it isn't my first encounter with geocaching (although that's a story for another day), and I look forward to my return home as I've already planned my geocaching route around my town (I was surprised about how many caches there were right under my own nose!). Finding geocaching.com feels as if I've been let into a secret club, and that's pretty cool. Anyway I'm rambling on. Just thought I would say hi and introduce myself and ask whether it's cool to just leave a geocache to fend for itself when I leave the country for good? Thanks for reading, G McC
