MountainMan00

iam the infumas mountain on the chat. Also know as mountainman00 on the caching trail. I do some caching with my horses in oregon mostly local not really got out of the mt hood natinal forest yet.

Well my named dirvied from the fact that I spend 90% of my time in the mountains hiking and camping and packing way back in there with our horses and the other 10% I spend at work waiting to go to the mountains. So when I needed a name I just chose the logical name.

depending on the size of your gpsr any camera case that will best fit your aplication will work the best. you wont have the screen proctector when your using it but when its in your back pack or belt it will be protected. Thanks From the Mountain

yes thanks that what i was thinking but i think havin north up would just be safe and alot more user friendly in certain situations.

this might be or might not be the problem but i just posted about the oreintation it could be set on course up or track up i think i have mine on north up which would put the aero on your map screen correct? thanks from the mountain

Howdy guys just got a short and simple question. I have the explorist 100 and i was wondering in the orientation section it says north up track up and course up what does this mean right now i have it for north up. Thanks in advance

iam using the magellin explorist 100 simple but very effective and thats the way i love it

i am serious about this spot its my time i have to do it is limted. so if i sit here on a friday night before work on saturday and enter four or five places to take the horse and try to find iam happy as a lark. thanks for all the support i have gotten in such short notice iam very happy with the community so far but ya i can see the benifets of have in the computer to link to is a plus but for now just being able to find a few cachs over the weekend is great and being able to find my way back to camp at night. but what ever unit i chose i chose it with full knowlage of the pros and cons of each unit. the one nice thing i have seen with the explorist is that the 14 parrell channels vs 12 and the size of the screen the controlls are niec with the etrex i dont really like the location of the controlls i am looking towards the etrex Venture

yes that is possibly true but for my first gps i think i would rather just get to know how to use it and then later upgrade to the more expensive ones cause i dont have access to a computer all the time with internet so printing them and keeping them in my saddle bags would be fine. How hard is it to manually enter the lat and lon on the unit plus ill have them wrote down. But keep the sudjestions coming

yes but in retrospec like i was saying i dont really need all that stuff i just want to input them my self. i was wanting somthing simple easy that i could enjoy and not somthing i cuss every time it says welcome LOL. Iam starting to lean towards the explorist 100 cause it has just the basics that i want wich is to input waypoints go to them mark were i shot a elk in the mountains back track to it and so forth. If any one has used them explorist 100 or the 200 or has any knowladge about them would be greatly apricated. Thanks to those who have responded.

Hello guys I can't wait tell spring is here so I can get the horse out and do some of the caches around here that are on horse trails. My problim is i need help in deciding wich gps i need. iam a new to using a gps and i do know that i dont want a whole bunch of features ill never use so here is the two iam tryin to decid on. Magellan eXplorist Series GPS Units and Accessories When you first see the new Explorist series, you'll probably wonder how Magellan could get that many features and that much high-end technology into a unit so small. Weighing only 4 oz., these rugged, waterproof units are some of the smallest on the market at 4.6" x 2.1" x 1.3" and are priced for even the most budget-minded outdoor enthusiast. With the eXplorist 100 you can navigate through three information screens with the use of miniature joystick and keyboard screen display. 14 parallel channels acquire satellite signals with maximum efficiency, while the WAAS-enabled receiver delivers accuracy to 3 meters. Saves up to 500 waypoints and 20 routes with 2,000 log points. 2.3" LCD screen. Or the Explorist 200With the same powerful 14-parallel-channel, WAAS-enabled receiver as the eXplorist 100, the eXplorist 200 has an 8MB built-in basemap for even easier navigation. Map includes major roads, parks, waterways and airports. Any help would be much obliged. Thanks and have a good day
