[A Big Thumbs up for Pentagon GPS]

Have just placed an order for an Oregon 550. Great price. Thanks for the tip.

[Any advice with Satmap]

I had an Active 10 and couldn't get the details to load. Sometimes the caches would show but never the description, hint etc. I am using a mac and the SatSync for mac is still in beta so maybe that had something to do with it.

[Keyword TB]

There is a Firefox script here that adds keyword search.

[Sudden increase in caches in the UK?]

Maybe the iPhone app is playing a part as well. It introduced me to geocaching.

[erm.. Hello]

Im exactly the same. Found the iPhone app at the weekend and love it. Especially when used in tandem with a standalone GPS unit.

 

My son and I found our first four caches on Saturday and we cannot wait till this weekend to get out and crack a few more. I must admit to sneaking out yesterday to grab a couple and another one this morning. Cannot go anywhere without checking for caches. Totally hooked.

 

Browsing these forums it strikes me what a friendly bunch geocachers are. Very different from most forums.
