Well Okay Proof is in the Putting. Can you still not see it, or is it showing up now? Yeah I just checked. I can see it now. I don't know why I couldn't before. It is fine now.

Well Okay Proof is in the Putting.

I noticed this while logging http://coord.info/GC3QK08 (toy chest) the other day. This cache does not appear on the map even when clicking show larger map.

Okay I made it. It's in my car window, and on other stuff that I carry around See it here: http://coord.info/TB40AXW

Can you also embroider the "barcode Travel Bug logo"? Or have the words "Travel Bug"? It would be cool if a passing Geocacher could identify your jacket as a Trackable somehow. That's what I plan. My mom has a realy nice embroidery machine that I can design whatever I want even the TB Logo.

I have an unused TB Dogtag sitting around here at home and I am thinking to use it as a jacket TB I mean can I embroider it onto a my jacket instead of buying a separate TB patch. I just want to make sure everyone thinks it's okay before I do it and cause a stink. My personal opinion is "why not" I payed for the Trackable and I think its okay to use in that way....

Yeah thats great, they really have improved the etrex line. I had ruled them out because I have an older version. Thats more in my price range but I am not so fond of the fact that it doest have an electronic compass or altimeter or 3D view, I would use those three things allot in my new GPSr.

The paperless feature is really great and the 62s don't have that and I really like beautiful screens. The 62 its paperless...just a pants screen! I've been looking at the Montana 600 which is a but more but looks a great screen. True enough! I didn't know that. but unfortunately I cant afford to part with $350 right now for the 62. If I find one on ebay that might be an option. Thanks

Thanks mpilchfamily, I didn't realize etrex now does paperless thanks for letting me know I will have to check that out too. Yes price is a big player in my decision I don't have much money to spend. Thats one of the big reasons I am even questioning oregon.

I am looking to upgrade from my etrex venture HC and I see that there are great deals to be had on old colorado's. Like the Oregon, the Colorado does paperless, as well as having a Barometric Altimeter, 3D view and the greatest selling point: a quad-helix antena. This is the main difference I see from the oregon besides the roller wheel vs touch screen and sd card slot vs micro sd slot. First. The oregon in nice because of the ease of use (touchscreen) but I am a favorite of the quad helix and I wonder about the new ceramic antennas in the oregon. Are they just as great in dense forests and in canyons? Second: I hear there are some issues with the colorados roller wheel. That they break often and peel off the gps or something like that. Does anyone here have that problem?

I've noticed similar issues. Caching with a friend who has the 60CSx, I've seen my Oregon sometimes point to the wrong spot while he zeroes right in on it. It may be less than "50-75 feet" off, which isn't unreasonable for caching. I've also found that if I hold the GPSr still or set it flat on a surface for a few seconds, it settles out nicely. And the Oregon captures my own cache within 4 feet, consistently. I'm guessing it's an issue of obstructions, and differences in antenna sensitivity. And whether or not you use the "WAAS" (GPS signal correction) option. But I've impressed my teammate several times by having the cache info at hand, including the clue. When we both know it's "under that bridge", the Oregon saves the day with its paperless feature. If the quad-helix is so much more accurate, (which it is) then get a used Colorado online. It has a quad-helix antenna and WAAS and features paperless caching. The only thing it is missing is the touch screen. I'd rather take the accuracy and paperless caching over the touchscreen any day.

A couple months ago while in Hawaii, I found this benchmark without actually trying too. After coming back home, I couldn't find it in the NGS Database. Maybe someone else can find it. I found the benchmark at: N19 23.134 W 155 14.682

I know of three guys who live near me who have more than 10,000 one has 14,855 another 13,665 and the other with 10,088 the best part is they are all friends and all cache together.
