OK, maybe I should add e.g. QLandkarteGT to the above list... That's correct, but still, how can one transfer waypoints and tracks from GPS to the computer im order to e.g. prepare routes on his/her computer if one cannot display locked map on the computer without using MapSource on Windoze? So, considering that majority of GPS users do not prepare their own maps but buy them (either on CD/DVD or SD cards), the question is what can we (aka: Linux users) do with software GPS Linux software (QLandkarte, Viking etc.) when those applications cannot shows locked maps? Sincerely, Gour

Hi Robert, here is new potential user of GPSBabel I'm new to geocaching and just in the process of buying my 1st GPS Probably it will be Garmin 76Csx 'cause I quickly eliminated Magellan's Triton (model 500) seeing there is NO support for Linux at all I use Linux for almost 10yrs after migration from OS2. Hmm...in the local newsgroup I got info that none of Linux software can display Garmin's locked maps which I have to buy here (routable for car-navigation and topo map of Croatia), so I wonder what's the main use of Linux software like GPSBabel, Viking etc. ? QLandkarte owner also told me about the copyright problem which prevents Linux software to display e.g. Garmin's maps. What is the solution for that? I got rid of all Windoze software and do not want to use even emulators like Vbox, but maybe I'll have to use wine for MapSource Sincerely, Gour (aka: happy ArchLinux user) Sincerely, Gour

Thank you very much for enlightenment This part is clear, but... ...I do not understand this one I understand that the 'secret' number is engraved on the coin, but not about 'secret number in a cache'. Is it in cache's log? Sincerely, Gour

Sure. Does it mean that only one personal coin from the series can be trackable, i.e. is tracking number attached to each coin or to the whole series? I see. Thank you. Sincerely, Gour

Hi! I'm quite new with geocaching and being excited about the idea of creating personal coins I have few questions... 1) if we create a personal coin as an item to be put in other's caches is it required that the coin is 'made' as trackable or not? 2) can the same coin be trackable and 'item to be put in other cache' at the same time? 3) what is the usual number of coins one orders when creating a new coin? 4) any info what are the price ranges for custom coin for e.g. series of 200 coins? 5) can you recommend some EU manufacturer?
