  1. Thanks to all who has replied. It has given me things to think about. I will try to process everything and figure out what is best for me. Once again thanks so much! threebs1984
  2. First off thank you for reading my post. I am in need of serious help here. I have a Magellan Sportrak map and was told that I can download coordinates if I had a USB to serial adapter. I have bought two of these and I cannot get it to work at all. I thought maybe the first one was defective but now I think I am the defective one LOL! I just bought a Tripp-lite model U209-000R USB to serial adapter and placed the little disk into the CD-Rom. I also plugged the adapter into the USB port. It says that it is installed but I cannot get anything to work at all. First off the lights on the adapter has not came on at all. When I went to the geocaching.com site I do not know what I am doing to download the cache to my unit. I have clicked different buttons and still no luck. I am pretty dense about these things but I am also getting tired of hand entering coords to my unit. Can someone help me here? Thank you so much. threebs1984@roadrunner.com
  3. The way I prepare for my trips is plan ahead. I spend time creating a log of caches in excel spreadsheet. I put the name of the cache, location, hints, closes city, driving directions, miles, completed yes or no. I keep everything in a clipboard with a compartment so I have it at any time. All of this goes in my backpack designated for Caching and it al stays in my car. Once in awhile I will pull out the list and go back to the master on my computer, I then get on geocaching.com and go through to see what is new or what is archived in order to update my info. If I have completed a cache I delete it off of my master list and when ready I print a new list. It sounds like a long process but when you have the master list it is just a simple update.
