There are three quickie ways:
1. Just copy this: ° to you clipboard and paste it in your document
2. Hold down the ALT key and type 0176 on the number pad (assuming you're using windows), the Degree sign should appear in your document.
3. Find the Character Map tool. Mine is in Start\Programs\System Tools. Copy and Paste as in #1
Good Luck.

Isn't this discussion of dead horses a deceased equine itself?
Zombie Horses, Ughh.

While not exactly what you're asking for, pressing the quit key will make it go away.

Ok, on my 60C, 41 just ends in the river north of Clovis. 168 becomes a thinner line before just ending. They both end at approximately the same latitude 36º 52.537' and 36º 52.351' So that particular tile on the base map is just missing I guess. The detail is there on TOPO Usa and the MapSource map that came with your unit.

You can tell WAAS is working by the presence of little "D" symbols on each of satellite strength bars on the satellite page. Also, one or maybe two of the satellites will have a number above 32. "D", of course, stands for differential, as in DGPS. I use WAAS when I have a pretty good view of the sky at 120°, That's the bearing for the WAAS satellite at Longitude 54° West in these parts. I have noticed that bearing and velocity seem to be computed over some sort of probably weighted interval longer than a second. That means, of course, if you come to a complete stop, your GPSr will still show a velocity for a little bit. I'm using firmware 3.30 on my 60C.

If that is your problem that take a lookhere. This si one of the coolest inventions ever. I dont realise why nobody had thought of it before now.
Both Rainwater and I posted links to such black magic....

Here's a link to an adapter you can use to put AAA in a AA place as well a C and D cells.
American Science & Surplus. Check out Sweet Adaptions, the ad copy is talking to you man!
You'd have to buy two, so that would set you back $2.50.

<snip>I did dave the file though.
::BLUSH:: Awww Shucks, I always Dave my files.
I down loaded it and installed it. Seems just like 5.4 to me. I did see the box to enter a URL. But everything else work just the same. I sure wish they'd let me export semi-circles....

Quotes from Garmin's web site
City Select®City Select provides detailed maps of major metro areas as well as rural coverage. Each CD also contains points of interest and automatic routing, giving you the capability to generate point-to-point routes in MapSource and on compatible Garmin units.The CD is included with the purchase of several Garmin units, including the GPS V and iQue 3600. It is also recommended for use with the GPSMAP 196 and GPSMAP 60C/60CS.
MetroGuide®This CD offers similar coverage as City Select, including points of interest. MetroGuide U.S.A. and Europe provide automatic route calculation for select products on the PC, while MetroGuide Canada offers autorouting on both the PC and compatible Garmin units. The main difference is its compatibility with Garmin units that do not have automatic route capability, such as the eTrex® Legend, eTrex Vista, GPSMAP 76/76S, GPSMAP 176, Rino® 120 and Rino 130.
(bolding mine)
I suspect that you are defining the route in MetroGuide and downloading that to the GPS? If that's so, the MetroGuide software is performing the autorouting, and downloading a route to you 60CS. Then again, maybe it is downloading an autoroutable map to your 60CS since the two products are so similar(so sayeth Garmin).
This is, of course, just a guess, but could explain the apparent autorouting.

Pretending you live in Yreka, California, There are two WASS satellites that you might lock onto:
POR which is situated at 178º East and
AOR-W at 54º West
At Yreka, POR has a bearing of 249º (232º magnetic) at an elevation(angle above level) of 7º.
AOR-W has a bearing of 105º (88º magnetic) at an elevation of 14º.
Magnetic Declination 16.87º
So yes, both are close to the horizon there, but AOR-W is not terribly close. Try finding a spot with a clear view of your magnetic east and try WAAS there. If you have a Garmin, that would be satellite number 35. POR is #47. Magellan does not show the satellite number(AFAIK). I have a protractor-ruler to verify I have a sufficiently low horizon.
Info at GPSInformation: WASS
Good Luck

Hi Everyone, I'm new here.
Regarding DEET, please follow the advice of the American Academy of Pediatrics when applying DEET to your children AAP. My son's doctor instructed us to not use 100% DEET products on him. It has been our experience that no matter what, ticks will get on you. They may not attach, but due to their negative geotrophism, they will climb up you and end up in your house. I've gotten ticks in bed that we've brought it. The best policy is a full body examination. I am also partial to a hot shower with Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap, it seems to stun them.
Despite nobody asking, but more advice from my son's pediatrician, there's a product out there called "Ivy Off" that will prevent Poison Ivy rashes if you apply it before going out. You can ask your pharmacist to order it for you. My son's deady alergic to Poison Ivy, so I though I'd pass that along.
Cheers

Hi.
I'm a noob to this. What got me interested in GPS and geocaching was a galvanized steel rod hammered in the ground at the corner of my property in NW Arkansas (Between Busch and Beaver). I spent years looking for that frigging thing. Finally found it this spring. Now I need to project a line about 0.5 miles due east and find the next IR(or maybe a USACE survey marker on the fee take line). U. Arkansas's geostor was immensely helpful, and I recommend any Arkansas people to check it out GeoStor. Their DOQ Color IRs are just to die for! Wonderfully accurate too! I bought a Garmin 60c from getsfeetwet based on recommendations found here.

Great Play!
Jeremy put the volleyball up, Kai went for it, and CO slammed it in his face. Exellent sportsmanship!
