Ok, I have been away for a while and decided to do a bit of caching. I downloaded the latest version and installed to my computer, I updated the firmware on the GPS, I am using IE (as i remembered the program does not like Chrome) but after 4 days of struggling it is still telling me i need to download the update and it will not send to my GPS. Is there something i am missing??? please help thank you in advance!

Thanks for all the help and info. I am more than certain that my kids (and myself) will quickly become geocaching addicts!!! We love to get out when ever we can and I am certain that having a challange will get us out much more. We can start out with simple and then THEY can blow their allowances on getting the fancy stuff that they will understand better than me...lol See you all out their after xmas

Maybe a good question for me would be what type of amenities are "got to haves" and what are "nice to haves" (don't need the useless expensive "dont' need to haves" lol)

I haven't had the pleasure of geocaching yet but I would love to start getting out with my kids (ages 12 and 13) and have some fun hunting and searching. I would love any input on models that will work well for us. I would like to keep it under $200, I have no laptop or iphone or anything fancy like that to help out with, just a home computer to get the starting info to find the cache. I saw an etrex h on clearance for $100 at target and was wondering if that may suite my needs (seems a good price). I may just look online for used too, I just want to make sure that I get what I will need (kind of hard to know what you need if you have never done it..... and that is why I am asking all you experienced cachers!! ) Thanks for all the help in advance!! Deb Sorry, that wasn't a etrex H, it was an xtrex legend H that I saw on clearance for $100
