I'm no expert, but when I was having trouble it was because the topo 8 transfer dialog had automatically opened when I plugged my gps in, because topo 8 was open in the background. I was trying to send files through GSAK, and it wouldn't work until I closed the topo 8 transfer window. Maybe you have another program trying to connect to your GPSr.

Can I ask what Delorme said? I'll be doing the same in the next few days. Thanks!

great for car use, terrible for outdoor use.

The iPhone app was really the reason I got into geocaching too. I'd heard of it before and it sounded interesting, but was never motivated enough to make the initial investment in gps. I found the geocaching app and thought "hey, it's only 10$, I'll give it a shot", and it's been a lot of fun. I do it mostly for the outdoors aspect..I'd rather hike a few miles and find one cache than find 5 micros that are 10 feet from the car. I've since picked up a Garmin 60cx, but that's only because the iPhone can be unreliable in the woods. It has worked for probably 85% of my attempts, but I don't want to hike a mountain and not get the cache because my gps couldn't get signal. The iPhone isn't the end-all-be-all geocache tool, but it's awesome for getting people into geocaching, and for the convenience of access to the site on the fly.

To clarify, you don't physically trade stamps, you stamp your personal log with the stamp that's in the letterbox, and you stamp the letterbox log with your personal stamp, and usually write the date and your name, maybe a sentence or two about the journey.
