My finace and I are looking to get a new GPS and we're considering the Garmin Extrex Venture Cx as well (we've currently got a Garmin Map 12 which was gifted to us when we started caching). I'm curious to know if anyone can give me feedback on how the Venture works with GSAK. I really want to be able to load a bunch of my local caches with stats, clues and logs so that I can cache on the fly. Right now my Map12 can load the waypoints but it won't store any other data so I don't always know what I'm looking for. Also, I saw above that the Venture doesn't have a compass on it? Is the compass function different than the arrow that points toward the cache? Am I confused? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Markwell! That looks like something I can handle... I really appreciate all the responses I've gotten as I can see this subject has been discussed ad nauseam. Wish us luck. Best, VespaBelle

The other cacher I'll be traveling with does have a premium account. Maybe I should have him do this. Thanks for you advice.

So this weekend I'll be driving from Atlanta to Cincinnati and I want to pick up at least one cache in each state. Problem is, I want them to be reasonably close to the highway. Is there a way I can search a route? I'd rather not pick random cities to search by. Thanks for any help! Vespabelle
