Mr. Garmin tells me that it's a 90 minute drive from Federal Way to Mt. Vernon, not sure I beleive that but I will be leaving FW at 0600 just the same. Anyone coming from the South end want to meet up to car pool to Mt. Vernon. FYI I have room for 5 including myself.

I have been using Geobuddy for a couple of months now but use it in a limited fashion. I mainly use it for viewing scanned and calibrated Greentrails maps. I like that I can scan and calibrate a map then display WPs on the scanned map. I am dissapointed that color aerial photos are not supported, although I understand that those will be added in a future update. I probably would not have bought the program but Dan had a sale late last year and was selling the program for $20 or $30, don't remember which but felt it was worth what I paid for it for what I do with it.

Go into into your map setup on the etrex and make sure your Topo maps are turned on.

I'm in. That being said Mt. Baker is a 300mile R/T for me so I'm hoping that we can set up a car pool to help off-set some of the fuel expense.

I'd love to use this, if possible, please. I looked into getting one online, but it would have to be mailed to me, and I won't get it in time. Us two will be there. You can buy a FS pass at REI, and several other locations, unless something has changed this year. Can I use a Sno-Park Pass in place of a FS Pass??

I'm hoping to be there.

but i thought your knees were brand new.

Add me to the definite maybe list. Santa was also very good to me this year in addition to the kayak he dropped off on Christmas he also stopped by on the 31st with a pair of new snowshoes too.

Power just came back on here about 10 minutes ago. It will probably be an hour before the furnace shuts off.

I've watched Man vs Wild on the Discovery Channel so I'm pretty sure I could easily get myself killed following that guy's advice, so some real world survival skills would be a good thing.

I still think that creating an icon for cleaning up geolitter would take care of the problem tout de suite. Lots of cachers like icons and watching their numbers grow, so it would motivate active cachers to clean up geolitter (after a cache is archived) without any involvement from reviewers. So not only will we have the FTF Hounds, for which there is no icon, but we would have the LTF (last to find) Hounds for which there would be an icon.

This was true with the non-X models but with the CSx it goes to the map page even after selecting off road. Some people like it going to the map page some people wish it would go to the compass page, I fall into the wish it went to the compass page group.

Did you ever have this happen before? And are you on firmware 2.90? running 2.90 and I can't remember this happening in the past. I will be wathing for it now though.

Hit the page button and page through the screens until you get to the page you want. You'll also see the found button there too. El Diablo Also to get the "found" option you have to select FIND/Geocache not FIND/waypoints

Same thing happened to me today but I didn't have power to the cable when I was connecting the cable to the GPS, I'm using a Garmin cable that I have been using for a couple of years.

I think I will try to make it this time.

Starting to get deep in Federal Way too. Even for a GLRTB!!

Your "F2" button will toggle the split screen view. When the split screen is open you will be able to see the cache information, including logs at the bottom of the GSAK window.

Looks like I might have to find a new spot for my 3rd Annual Mt. Rainier Virtual Cache Hike.

I haven't specifically looked at the sat. page (will have to do that next time) but I did get more than few "lost reception" prompts from nRoute while hooked up to my 60CSx.

I've been busy creating custom maps. I have created 4 diferent maps and al work by themsleves. The problem I have run across is that only 2 custom maps will show up at any one time. The maps in the map selection drop down menu show up alphabetically so only only A and B will show up. If I delete B from the registry C will show up. Is there a work around or something I can do to remove this limit?

Don't expect too much form him. This is the same guy that hosted a CITO event last year then "forgot" to attend it.

from the map or compass screen hit menu, choose recalculate, choose offroad. That's what I typically do, but sometimes the "recalculate" field is greyed out and I can't select it, so I have to go back through the find menu again. I can't seem to figure out any rhyme or reason to this behavior though... If the cache is close to where you park it could be that your GPS thinks that you have arrived at your destination and turns off the navigation at that point causing you to have to go through the "Find" process again.
