[The Geomate.jr Update Kit]

I did order the Update Kit for the geomate.jr and just updated it.

 

Will the geomate.jr now be able to find the geocaches it couldn't find before but the Trimble could find? What does the update include?

 

Most likely. The caches may not have been available when your unit was originally loaded, or didn't meet the original filtering criteria. The update should take care of that. The only way to know for sure would be to see if it's in the 20 closest (assuming they are close to home). Otherwise, you'd need to get in position for them to be in the 20. Good luck with your searches!

Does anyone know if there are there any physical retail stores that sell the update kit, or do you only sell it online through places like Target, Rei, Groundspeak, etc?

 

Thanks for your help!

 

We didn't find any locally, but haven't looked since we bought ours online. HTH

Reviving this old thread. After updates, my Geomate still does not list a nearby cache: GCJXM3 (level 1).

Could someone at Geomate check this for me please? Thanks.

 

Maybe because the size is not identified for the cache? Just a thought.

[Altitude or Elevation - that's the question]

For instance, astronomy software often asks for the observer's altitude when computing ephemerides.

 

Not into astronomy, but could the height above the surface (altitude above the site elevation) be a factor in those computations? Just a thought.
