Does anyone know where there are any scuba diving caches??

When you're on the Satellite page, all of the sat #s are in the circle. Ones that are not locked onto are black #s, and locked sats are "white" numbers in black boxes. You with me so far? OK. Now, just below the E (East) and W (west), you will probably see little w's. These are the WAAS satellites. If you don't get them, go stand on a mountain or tall local hill for a few minutes until they appear. When you have WAAS reception, the W's will appear in black boxes just like the "regular" sat numbers do when they're locked on to. Also, when you have a WAAS lock and are standing still, you'll get the message "WAAS averaging" on the position screen (instead of just the "Averaging" message). The SporTrak doesn't show the WAAS satellite numbers or signal strength (or the little 'D's) on the lower part of the sat. page, like the WAAS enabled eTrex units (by Garmin) do, so it's not as immediately clear if you have WAAS reception or not. Hope that helps! Thanks! I think I have seen the w's on the sat screen a few times, but don't think I have had WAAS lock.

I always let my 11 year old daughter make the trade of goods if she wants to, if not then we just sigh the log.

I am thinking of taking my metal detector cacning too......

don't worry about what other people have to say about all that, just enjoy getting our and seeing the sights.

Thanks for the replys

well I think I did it

What does it mean to permanently archive a log?

Thanks for the information that is what I did, turned it on and left is sit for about 1/2 hour or so. It will serve my purposes for a while. Just getting started in geocashing. Thanks to all who replied to this. I got it working now

Clarification: You weren't in your house were you? You'd be lucky to get any reception in your house. If you were outside and clear of obstructions, then nevermind.... No I was outside on a clear evening plenty of sunshine and no trees or anything overhead. Maby I am just not waiting long enough, 10 minutes?

I am new to geocaching and using a gps. I have bought a used Magellan Pioneer gps.I know it is an older model and was trying it out at my house and it doesn't seem to be able to lock on 3 satelites. am I not waiting long enough or is there something else I need to do? does the time of day make any difference? I have the clock set to the right time on it.
