Hello, We are looking for unique items to use as cache trading items. We would like to have some coins made, as cheap as possible. What we have in mind is something like a pocket medal. Simple, but heavy and sturdy. Can anyone direct us? Thanks TCMR-Team

Do the Garmin US topo maps have streets, roads and their names included? One of the other posts here says it doesn't, but the description of Mapsource US TOPO says it includes: Highways, roads, hiking trails, snowmobile trails, backwoods trails, elevation contours, point elevations, summits, some bathymetric contours, geographic names, churches, and schools Which is it? Cheers, Danger-T

Sputnik57, Thanks very much for your help! I appreciate your time. Each of the memory examples you give uses almost the entire 56MB of memory. If you fill the available memory with maps, is there any space left to upload geocache coordinates to the unit? Or are those stored separately? How detailed is the base map? Does it show street level my area (Georgetown IN 47122)? I guess what I am really asking here is: If I go with the 60CS, do I have to spend another chunk of cash, right off the bat, for the mapping software just to get started? OR will the included base map be enough to get started? Thanks, Danger-T

Sputnik I will be geocaching in Southern Indiana and Kentucky. I would like to use the street maps to get the general vicinity of a cache and then maybe use the topographical map if I have to go into the "wild". If you can give me the memory stats on these areas, that would be great! From what I have read on these forums, what I want to do is possible. I don't remember the post, but I think I have read something here about the 60CS allowing you to load map "segments" for a road trip? Thanks, Danger-T

Hello, I am new to Geocaching. I have been using some borrowed equipment and am now hooked enough to want to purchase my own. I am torn between Garmin's 60CS and Magellan's Meridian ( Color or Platinum ). I am leaning toward the 60CS, but I am hung up on what I _perceive_ to be a lack of memory in the garmin unit. The Garmin has 56MB of memory while the Magellan has only 16MB, but is capable of reading SD ram cards giving it as much memory as you want to buy. The Garmin has a nice screen and is a newer device(?), but is 56MB of memory enough? Is the USB interface fast enough for downloading larger maps? Would the 60CS be compatible with my Pocket PC? I want to be able to geocache(!!) and possibly use the GPSr to find routes on trips, etc. Cheers, Danger-T
