There are a lot of times in my travels where it would be quite nice to search for caches by county. I travel in about 10-12 counties in NE Ohio and would surely use this search method on a regular basis. I know at this time the county isn't an available field when setting up caches. So a lot of things would have to be changed in order to make this work. Anyways add this to a wish list.

Not sure about finding one for under $90 but eBay is full of decent prices if you watch for a bit. I see a lot of Garmin models up for bid every day. Just be careful who you buy from and don't impulse buy (uhm uh did I say that).

^^ No, it's a piece of useless software to me. How many state/national parks do I really visit? Not enough to warrant the purchase of their "limited" sofware that's for sure. Once you get used to using 24k topo for most activites it's like running around naked if you use anything else for what I do at least. My activities include Boy Scout courses, work with other ages in scouting and I'm on summer camp staff. Also I work with the Dept. Interior and 100k just won't get it for any of this. --- Thanks for the replies. And yes, I have a PDA and bluetooth GPS which works fine. I use MapTech maps on it. However I want to get away from the two-part device method and I know I'll miss my 24k topo's that I've grown so fond of. I might just go for the Garmin 60cs and use Terrain Navigator Pro (MapTech) on my computer for the routing work. And learn to live without the 24k realtime topo views for the gps. (lug it around on a laptop maybe) In the meantime I'll check out the links some of you posted. I'm a computer tech, sofware savy guy so I might be able to figure out some of those "hacks" that were mentioned. Thanks again for your ideas.

Hello geocachers, I'm hoping someone has an answer for this situation. I searched for 24k topo alternatives for the Garmin 60cs but didn't have much luck. I'm dissapointed that Garmin doesn't offer anything but their National Park series 24k topo software. I've held off purchasing the 60cs until I can find a reasonable solution. Thanks for your help.
