get a USB device?
That was a half-serious answer. I know there are others here that use the eTrex h and are successful with it, but it also seems that the antiquated serial interface is becoming less and less supported with each new OS upgrade. USB isn't going away anytime soon.
Got one, its too complactaed. But i got this one to work with ez gps and it worked.

you can transfer it using Basecamp or Mapsource.
You can use Mapsource. Basecamp does not work with serial devices.
Tried downloading mapsource but t wouldnt exteract, any oher suggestion
-
i tried using basecamp but it it didnt recognize the device
do i need drivers
-
I got an old etrex h, and i wanted to upload the traclog to my computer. How is this done, I have the serial cable. I am planning on using GPS Visualizer. The owners manual didn't cover this topic.

my computier is a 64 bit
Yes. Point?
it worked for some reason
it said that the 64bit installer doesent werk
-
It looks like they're both transparent overlays that only contain trails and a few waypoints. Though, it should overlay on top of the eTrex's basic base map. You should still see the base map unless you disabled it.
For a topo map, try installing Minnesota Topo (I assume you want a Boundary Waters map).

Did you first install the download to MapSource or BaseCamp? You can NOT directly install the download file to your GPS. Did you zoom into the grid, 1-mile or less to see the detail.
Sent it thru mapsourse
-
I downloaded a topo map from GPS FILE DEPOT and loaded it to my etrex 20 and all it shows is a gray and white grid. Do you know how to fix this, or is this normal

Looking at your find count spanning 4 years, premium membership would cost you $1 per cache. That's pretty steep, so I understand your disconnect with the fee. I don't think Geocaching is as big of a piece of your recreation time as it is for many of us. Premium membership probably doesn't make sense for you right now, certainly not for stats. If you ever start to cache more often, the other features are a great help.
The main problem that if face is that i'm a poor student. Parent's aren't cachers. And i'm still in JR. HIGH.

replying to all of your comments
where can you get more stuff like this:
http://project-gc.com/Profile/ProfileStats?profile_name=lilbeardy&getprofile=Get+profile
for basic members
I was also unaware that it was soo expensive to run this system, guess i'm just your run of the mill cheapskate
-
Everything I see that i think is cool such as http://www.mygeocachingprofile.com/. I need a premium membership for, and that's soooo annoying. Seriously $30 a year, what is Groundspeak doing with all this money. It's not that i'm cheap but i think this turns away a bunch of cachers, and is somewhat stupid.I think geocaching.com should not charge anything for preimum features
-
why would you want to hide caches in rat poison containers, they dont even have lids

A tadpole wrote this:
"I believe the Burnsville Police and Bloomington Bomb Squad have disposed of this cache on 4/21. Did it occur to you that placing a pipe device in a public park on/about the anniversary of Columbine might generate an emergency response if found by a muggle?
If they haven't contacted you already, you might want to be proactive and contact the police to let them know your innocent intentions."
Crazily enough a cacher reported this to the police. And the bomb squad blew it up. I know when I started caching I wasn't this stupid.

Sorry, I just read your subtitle. What myself and my "computer guy" that I work with do with old computers is convert them to the Ubuntu operating system, and you can surf the web to your hearts content with the latest version of Firefox. And get email and all that stuff.
My laptop has VERY LOW MEMORY like 30gb for a hard drive, the model is a Compaq Presario 2135US. It is made with a floppy and a cd rom, so it doesent have much space for memory. Ubumto is WAY DIFFRENT than windows. Its got IE6 but i maybe can upgrade to IE7.
-
My laptop has little memory, so i dont want to upgrade the browser (for speed issues). There is this toolbar for GC.com that's from Fuzzy's Geocaching Page o' Wonders, but it is only compatible with the older browser. Here's the Link: Cache Simplifer
-
I am thinking about getting a Palm IIIxe, because is cheaper than a PPC. It is also very basic, Grayscale Screen, 8MB Memory + another 2MB. There is quite a bit of software for them out there anyway. This Geocacher University link says it is basic geocaching equipment. Basic Geocaching Equipment

This is a marine type GPS circa 1992. You might try the forum for buying and selling GPS,etc.
no this one is diffrent, its like a german magellan eXplorist 100, but cheper
-
My sub $100 (Same one you have) unit stored waypoints and I could put the GC number as the name too....What paperless means is it can store the name, GC#, all associated waypoints(parking location) hints, description and in some cases even previous logs. All of that is organised into a file that is under the name of the cache. My Magellan Explorist GC can hold thousands of those files.
Anyway to get that, you can pay for a premium membership-$30 for a year really isn't that much. OR if you have an Iphone/Android you can download one of several apps that contain all of that(without the premium membership needed) and you can even use the apps to find a geocache using you phone's GPS chip.
If thats a loc file i need to know how to download it, onto the eTrex H
-
Your Etrex H will not do paperless, not sure where you got that idea from? Your Etrex 20 of course is paperless, so I'm confused also
My brother had a eTrex legend and it stored them as waypoints, with the GC# for refrence.
-
A couple of years ago i got a garmin etrex H, Then I bought a eTrex 20 for paperless. Now I know that i can have paperless on my eTrex H. BUT i am not a "paying user" of gsak, plus i dont got the money. TOO EXPENSIVE!!! So can I upload them into GPS Babel or BaseCamp?? How can I do this??

I have been experincing burnout for probably 6 months now. I'm just looking for motivation. I skipped the MNGCA spring event. Ive found other hobbies, I'm even studying for a amateur (ham) radio tech license.
