    "Copy" TB

    But is sounds like someone took a code from a coin and applied it to a purple dinosaur. How can that be legit?

    It can be legit because the TO owns the coin and the tracking number. If I have a coin that I want to travel, there is nothing to stop me from writing the code out and attaching it to a purple dinosaur as my proxy.

     

    It is also possible the proxy in question was not logged properly out of the cache in Ca. and traveled to Fl. and again deposited in a cache without proper logging.

     

    Best bet, contact the TB owner for verification.

    Also keep n mind I tend to miss place my unit.....once I found it at the bottom of a muddy lake after bailing off a canoe!!! So, the waterproof aspect is very necessary!

     

    Rather than relying on a unit being "waterproof", it would be wise to invest in a lanyard of some sort. Pre-emptive action to protect your investment.

     

    This one looks neat:

    You are so right, I have invested in a carabiner clip and lanyard for my new Oregon!

    Waterproof is still an important aspect for me since I also went in the lake with my other gps!

    Ok, I seem to have miss placed my GPS, I have searched everywhere to no avail!

     

    When you get another, I'd highly suggest some strict rules for yourself.

     

    I've read so many people talk about leaving their GPS's at caches that I've got strict rules for myself.

     

    I'm not allowed to set my GPS down at all. I bought a carabiner clip for it, and it gets clipped to my belt when I've found the cache. My other GPS has a lanyard and it goes around my neck. It does not get set down on the ground at all!!!!

     

    When I'm at home they go in my purse or in a certain drawer. That's it.

     

    Hard and fast rules.

    These suckers are expensive and SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO important!!!!!

    I'd hate to be without them. That would really suck!!!

    I know what you mean, I just bit the bullet and ordered an Garmin Oregon 450t. I hope it is all that and a box of chocolates!

    I got a carabiner clip and a lanyard for this one! Now watch, my old one will be sitting on the counter when I get home! !!

    At the very least, you WILL fall deeply in love with the color screen. Its not all about the color... they are SO much easier to read that you won't regret the money you spent for that reason alone.

    I certainly will be going with the colour screen, well worth the $$ if I can read it!! What about the touch screen, are there any noticeable advantages/or disadvantages?

    Ok, I seem to have miss placed my GPS, I have searched everywhere to no avail! So yesterday I was browsing the net in pursuit of a new device. I came across a good price on a Garmin Dakota 10 and a Magellan explorist 310. Any thoughts on the better product?

     

    I have, or should I say had, a Garmin Etrex Legend H which I liked and it was very accurate. The only problem with it was the gray scale screen was hard for my old eyes to read, and it keeps go missing. I don't want to spend my life savings on a new device, but I don't want to go to cheap either, kind of middle of the road, but with good accuracy! B)
