I bought one at REI yesterday and returned it within an hour. Probably should have listened to the little voice in my head that told me if the demo won't work, even after two battery changes, why risk the unopened version. But the other little voice in my head was urging me to use that REI dividend.... Anyway, brand new Duracell batteries couldn't get the unit to power on. The REI customer service person also couldn't get it to power on. Too bad because I'd read some good reviews and was looking forward to a successful afternoon of geocaching.

Thank you, Thank you for explaining it in simple terms. Now I get it! And thanks for the calculator. ~T~

I'm feeling dumb as a post but am really struggling with how to translate coordinates posted on geocaching.com to coordinates like I'd see in my GPS unit. The Magellan Roadmate uses coordinates in this format: 47 19'50" and of course Geocaching.com uses something like 47.19.1234. How do I make the 19.1234 into something I'd recognize on my GPS? Thanks for any advice, Sincerely, Not-a-math-major
