I spent a large chunk of my last transatlantic flight tracking it with my GPS, the only time I need to have it turned off was take off and landing. So no problem in your hand luggage. http://gpsinformation.net/airgps/airgps.htm

WTB affordable starter unit
Misty and Minou replied to BaiKaiLin's topic in GPS technology and devices
A recomendation from me would be the Garmin 60CSx which you may be able to get a decent second hand unit for your budget -
Hi there The weatherproof cover for the usb port on my Dakota 10 has broken, but I haven't been able to find a replacement part. Has anyone been successful in replacing this? Failing that does anyone have a broken dakota that I can canabalise for the part please? Thanks for any advice

Another plus 1 for Amberel's Staines Moor series. It's a wonderful series that even my non caching wife enjoyed going round with me on,. Overall it is still one of my favourite series around.

HI Does any cacher in the Grand Rapids area have a recomendation for a (very) quick cache & dash that can be done between Grand Rapids airport and I96? I'll be passing through soon and want to grab one on the way through but don't want to be spending too much time or energy finding it. Thanks in advance

I had that issue the other day although at the time I thought I had done something wrong. Is there anyway of getting them back? -
Hi I use the Dakota 10 with talkytoasters maps and will wholeheartedly stand by the maps. I use 110729-GB-GMAPSUPP.zip and although it takes a while to download on my poor qualiy wifi, once unzipped ot's very easy to transfer over to the GPS.

GAGB Urban Geocaching Guideline
Misty and Minou replied to Deceangi's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
I am slightly confused Are you asking for a notice on both the container and the Geocaching,com page or just the container? I will be upgrading my container to comply over the next week any way, just needs a little modification. -
A word of warning about the Dakota bike mount as I discovered while cycling home the other night, if you're not careful and hit a bump the unit can bounce out of the cradle. This happened to me at speed the other day, luckily the GPS bounced away from traffic.

What version of the handlebar mount did you with in the end? I am debating over handlebar mounts at the moment and would be interested in hearing how people find the different types My unit is a Dakota so it may not be the exact same style of garmin handlebar mount as yours.

Base Map With Garmin Dakato 10
Misty and Minou replied to neddog's topic in GPS technology and devices
They do indeed work, use them on my own Dakota 10. The map image file goes in the Garmin folder (which is the main folder) when running the dakota like a disk drive on your PC. I find the Dakota to be a really good basic GPS for paperless geocaching, very easy to use and you can get a lot out of it just by putting a pocket query in the GPX folder and away you go. The maps are really good for a lot of areas and there has only been one area that's let me down! Not bad for a wiki based map I think. -
I've seen that link around - has anybody used these maps before? Are they any good? Am thinking about trying them out for the USA maps that I'll need sooner or later.

Need GPS Recommendation!
Misty and Minou replied to FaithCacher22's topic in GPS technology and devices
I can very personally recommend the Garmin Dakota series, which is paperless. I've got a 10 which is brilliant for me. -
What happened to the beta maps?
Misty and Minou replied to team tisri's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
Goodness knows what's happening for me then! I can only see caches when I am zoomed all the way out to 20 mile to 1 inch which while pretty is also useless. Playing around with the filters doesn't help either. Update - the site is just soo sloooooooooooooooow that it's taking a very long time to load up and it seems to be doing it a zoom level at a time. Sitll not enough detail after 15 min of loading. -
Been having similar problems with the maps for a while now, am just playing with Opera to see if that resolves the problem. Been having waaaay too many issues with firefox recently which is why I don't want to use chrome either, along with google infamous data collection methods.

When is a hint a good hint?
Misty and Minou replied to Team Noodles's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
The strangest hint I've seen on caches I've found todate has been the one here http://coord.info/GC1DT8M it was only after I found the cache that I realised what the setter meant.
