I've not forgotten you Dusty, though I'm having some problems located a good base. I know I've seen one, I just have to find it again. Otherwise I have to build my own, which will take longer. So I may work on some of these others folks' avatars in the meantime. --------- That new KandRS logo looks really nice, fox-and-the-hound. You guys are doing some awesome work! I will be patiently waiting to see what you come up with. Thanks.

I think I can do this...it's a really cute idea. ------ Basically, I mostly do pixel art. So if you guys don't want that kind of avatar, then please let me know. Thanks much! I am also interested in seeing your work Geogilly.

Okay, changed it. Look back at original post. LOL. That's pretty neat. Thanks! I used it as an avatar on our local geocaching assoc. website. I really appreciate your efforts and hate to ask this, but how do I make it larger? I would like to have it about twice the width.

That's the idea I had in mind! Is it possible to put a GPS in the mans hand??

QUOTE What about something where the dog is finding the cache while a man stands off to one side scratching his head??

If you could make the dog a German Shepherd it would be excellent. Also, I have brown hair and use a 60Csx, if that helps. Thanks again.

I have been racking my brain for ideas about what I would like for an avatar since discovering this thread a few days ago. I am currently using a pic of a german shepherds head in profile. I often take the dog caching with me and he finds a lot of them before I do. I use a 60csx. I use the name DustyWalker as I have a tennessee walking horse. I thought I would see what you guys might come up with. Does that spark any ideas for any of you?

I use the Garmin bicycle mount and it works great.

My name is Dusty and I'm a lurker...

I have three. My first was a Magellan 3000, which was almost useless. The second was a Garmin Vista, which has worked very well for me. The third, which I got about two weeks ago, is a Garmin Map60CSx.

You have to use Garmins "Mapsource" to download maps to your unit. There are several different ones to choose from.

That's scary stuff. Hope it doesn't happen to mine. I wonder if it is a firmware issue??

Garmin wants $200.00 bucks to get mine fixed in Quebec at the repair shop. They have a flat rate. Not interested in a free fix.

Has anyone in these forums had problems with the rubber seal (bumper) around their e-trex coming loose? The one on my two year old vista is, and I am exploring ways to fix it. I am considering using contact cement, which would be waterproof and could still be removed if it had to be. Any thoughts? Experiences? Thanks.

I have a electronic compass in my GPS and NEVER use a compass to find a geocache. I used to with my old machine though... The electronic compass is well worth the money, for me at least. However, one should always carry a compass to get himself out of somewhere in a pinch. You can get a good one with a sighting mirror for $35.00 bucks or so, one of the little Silvas.

I am seriously considering using contact cement. It will be waterproof and will still come off- Hopefully!! if the unit has to be repaired for some other reason. Has anyone tried this??

Do you know what kind of glue they used??

The rubber bumper on my Vista is coming off- any ideas how to get it fixed on my own? Garmin wants $200.00 to fix it.
