    Garmin 60 C And City Select And Topo

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted · Edited by GeoSar

    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

    I Found A Benchmark That Is Not Listed

    in Benchmarking

    Posted

    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

    Who/what Introduced You To Geocaching?

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    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,

    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

    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

    Zire 72 Question

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    I have a Palm Zire 31 and I love it except it's not backlit and in the bright outdoors it's useless, you cant see it

    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,
