  1. I have heard others say that you can have both Topo and City select loaded at the same time but I don't know how to do it, I would like to have them both loaded so I can switch between one and the other for the area that I live in, can someone please tell me how to do this, when I load a map set on it always says erasing previous maps?? Thanks GeoSar
  2. I saw it Looks like they prefer Garmin products Garmin leads the way GeoSar
  3. I am looking for some Cammo Duct tape large roll Also want an Energizer bunny sew on Patch, Gator Aide sew on Patch Duracell Copper top battery sew patch making a urbano camo geocache shirt it has lots of pockets, and I want to sew on patches from the companies whose products I use Anyone know where to get these things, the tape is great for covering pill bottles to make small and micro caches, want to put togather a shirt for me and my wife they will be sorta like bowling shirts and say team GeoSar over 1 pocket and our real names over the other pocket. we want to get that Pro GeoCaching look Thanks GeoSar
  4. I was out in the woods hunting a Geocache when I stumbled on a bench mark it is a elevation marker it says 64.2 ft the location is N28.57.333 W081.44.808 when I did a bench mark search the closest one to that location is over a half mile away so how do I log this one when it's not listed, I took photos of it I would post them but I don't know how, so tell me how I can log it if it's not listed please Thanks GeoSar
  5. I just downloaded Gsak 5 I am a resistered user I lost the buttons to upload to my Garmin 60c mapsource and the button to up load to my PDA how in the world do I do this now???????????????? HElP!!!!!!!!!!! GeoSar
  6. I bought Topo in hopes to use it with trails and it was a big let down it only shows about 1 out of every 10 trails at least in my state Florida I would have do give it a failing grade Just my 2.5 cents GeoSar
  7. Just my opinion here I bought both City select and Topo for my 60 c while City select is great, I find the topo is a big let down and had I known I would not have wasted my money on it, I was expecting topo to have hiking trails marked it does not even go into much detail pretty basic topo program.

  8. I have a Palm Zire 71 and want to get a mapping program to use on it where I can store maps routes etc,etc, to the sd card, any good recomendations on which one I should get, I need some imput here Thanks GeoSar
  9. Ok call me stupid but what is blue tooth and how does it work I always thought it was just a cell phone????
  10. Well it all started with a broken speedometer, I had an older Lincoln Towncar that the speedometer broke on, well it was cheaper to buy a Gps and put it on a cell phone holder and use it as a speedometer then it was to repair the speedometer, so I used the gps in the car for three years, then one day we were going to a park we had never been to before to a Civil War Reenactment so I looked up the web page for the park to get directions, and on the web page it said the park had 4 Geocaches hidden there, so I did a web search for GeoCaching and the rest is history, now I have a PDA a new Garmin 60C and hope to have 150 finds by the end of the year,
  11. I really like my Palm Zire 71 it has a built in color camera and I can link it to my Garmin 60C, my wife and I both carry a Palm zire 71, GeoSar
  12. Where did you find a 1 gig sd card for that price?????????????????? I would like to get one for my zire 71 GeoSar
  13. Maybe I should be more detailed in my question, can I dump from my PDA to my gps in my case a Zire 71 to a Garmin 60 can I do this and what is the exact cable part number that I need, I hate to ask so many questions but this seems the be the best place to get answers, Many thanks to all who answer Doug AKA GeoSar
  14. Where can I order a cable to link my Garmin 60C to my Palm Zire 71 and what cable should I order Thanks GeoSar
  15. ok I got my Pda Zire 71 and I got my GPS 60C and I am ordering the cable to link the two of them, once I get the cable how do I download from the PDA to the gps I use cachemate and I have looked but see nowhere on Cachemate where you can download to a pda GeoSar
  16. Well for stuff that is in town or close by I carry PDA GPS Ink Pen And I wear a BDU shirt I like the 4 large pockets to keep stuff in, For long half day hikes or all day walk abouts I have alice gear that holds 2 mre's First Aid kit Snake Bite kit two canteens of water with a pack of powdered gator Aide for each canteen 1 3 ltr Camelbak of just water poncho cell phone leatherman tool led headband flashlight surefire flashlight Electric compass backup compass camera signal mirrow Signal whistle bear bells two pocket knifes extra batteries for all electronics I adjust what I carry to how far I will be hiking you can never carry enough water I like to hike the trails in the national forest very easy to get lost so I carry a three day supply of water and food as listed, I always show my wife where I will be hiking on a topo map so if I don't report in every night she could send out a search party
  17. I just got a Garmin 60C how do I download caches into it, I am a premium member and can send them to my pda but don't know how to send them to my 60C Help please GeoSar
  18. Can I link my New Garmin 60C to a Palm Zire 71 and what parts would I need to do this, I want to be able to link my Garmin 60C to a PDA to share information any other recomendations Thanks GeoSar
  19. After my old lorance Gps got ate by my parrot I am upgrading to a Garmin 60C and while I am at it I am going to get a new PDA as well leaning towards a Palm Zire 71 it's in my price range and from what I hear you can link it to the Garmin to up load caches, true or false? I know the Zire 71 is an older model and the camera quality is not as good as the Zire 72 but I am not getting it for quality photos just as a way to snap a quick cache photo so I guess my question is this will this combo do what I want link my pda to my Gps and what extra hardware soft ware etc, etc, will I need, Please all you cache masters talk to me. Many thanks in advance GeoSar Geo Search and Recovery for hire
  20. I have a Zire 31 and it is backlit and I have no problem seeing the display in the field. Not as good as a transflective display found in higher priced models but certainly adequate for geocaching. In direct sunlight it's not good but in the car, the shade of a tree or backpack it's easy enough to read. Make sure you have the display set on bright and adjust the contrast to the conditions otherwise you won't see it. I recall the default setting wasn't bright and visibility outside wasn't good but after changing the settings it was fine. "In direct sunlight it's not good but in the car, the shade of a tree or backpack it's easy enough to read" IF YOU READ MY POST YOU WOULD SEE THAT I WANT TO BE ABLE TO READ IT OUT DOORS NOT IN MY CAR OR BACKPACK, GeoSar
  21. yea she will be just fine she didn't swollow anything just made the big parts into lots of little parts, it's really hard to stay mad at a pet that says "I love you" every night when you put her to bed GeoSar
  22. anyone have a dead Global nav 12 they would want to part with, I need a new key pad my parrot ate mine, it's an older gpsr about 6 years old still works just no longer has a keypad, if you have one you want to get rid of please let me know GeoSar
  23. Yes you read it right, I went caching today, the worst day of caching I ever had went after 7 found one, I came home placed my Gps on the counter like I have done hundreds of times, and my Daughter Misty a 15 year old Cockatoo, got on the counter and ate it, yup gone! in pieces and parts, I wanted to skin her and make a feather pillow, so now I really have to get a new Gps what is the best place to get a Garmin 60 C and yes this is a true story!! where is the best place to buy a new Garmin 60C GeoSar
