  1. Garmin 60 - When given a square boundary to search or 4 way points to stay inside of; how does one make that happen if possible on a GPS unit. I would like to treat my area like a pong game. Start here move across until the alarm goes off and go up grid and hit the other side alarm goes off and back I go. While it is easy to track where I and the dogs have been, it is proving harder and time consuming to be where we are suppose to be. Hope this makes sense. If my unit can not do that is there another that can. TIA.

    your talking about either a parallel search or a trackline search pattern......google search and rescue patterns, it shows what you are talking about. If you are given co-ords for start, when to turn, width, next track, etc you can place them in gps and go from there.Thats how we did it on the sar cutters for water searches and our gps's.

  2. Well, here's mine for CGDS.....Ont.; Quebec on 3/30/2006; New Brunswick on 7/5/2006; Nova Scotia on 12/10/2006 total miles...1508.6 mi.

    Not that it probably means much anymore.
