[Okay, I'm a newbie with a couple of questions]

Thanks so much for all the input... I have been learning so much over the last few days about geocaching. I have also just found my first 3 geocaches today.

 

What a lot of fun. 8-)

 

Thanks again and have a great new year

[Okay, I'm a newbie with a couple of questions]

Hi,

 

Okay, I'm not used to saying it for any type of electronics, but I'm a newbie when it comes to geocaching.

 

Sorry for what may be some really dumb questions, but although I'm learning quickly, I still have not figured everything out.

 

Okay, first off, I have a Magellan Triton 400, now when I go through the listings I notice the link that says. "load directly to garmin gps unit"... so right away I wonder, is there a way to directly upload to a magellan unit?

 

Second and probably a more important question, today I entered some coordinates to find a geocache near where I was, and according to all the info I know aproximately where I am supposed to be... although when I walked there, my coordinates were quite a bit off. Am I doing something wrong, or am I entering my numbers wrong?

 

Let me give you more info... I was looking up geocache GC1E5MT it says the coordinates are N 43° 33.892 W 080° 16.159

 

But when I got into the area, my coordinates read 43.56387N amd 080.26946W... how come I'm that far off?

 

Thanks, I hope that in a few weeks I'll be able to talk the lingo a little better, but I have to start somewhere.

 

Thanks everyone and I hope you are all having or had a great Christmas break.
