I got my first GPS for my birthday Dec 11th. Then a couple of days later my wife gave me the book "GEOcaching for Idiots" as an after thought, where I found the website for this cult, er.... "club" And now she wonders why I'll be in Afghanistan during Christmas? (We live in Long Island, NY) Sheesh!!! Doesn't "Bagram Bug Box" mean ANYTHING to you??!? I mean, if that's not an obvious, logical consequence of her own actions, what is?

I also just got an Explorist 200. As others have said, you can't download waypoints, but putting one in mannually is not that hard. Once it's up and running, just hit "mark", then scroll up to the coordinates using the joystick (the middle button with the arrow on it) then hit enter. The cursor will flash over each number. Go up or down with the joystick til you get the right number then push enter and it will move on to the next number. When you're done hit enter and "yes" for save and you're off! I did half a dozen in about 5 minutes. Not as good as instant download but it gets the job done! BTW I am very pleased with my Explorist! No doubt I will want to upgrade in the future but for now it does everything I want and then some! (Downloading the users manual to your desktop and digesting it a bit at a time might be helpful, it sure was for me!)
