The-Chad

I have looked high and low yet i cannot find where i have to go to find caches along a route on this website. please help!

cool, thanks!

I'm just curious, i filled in the online form for my first cache hide. how long does it take to be published?

The GaRMIN 450 on sale for 199$ starting Friday at REI?? how can you beat that? wow, gots to get me one of them now.

lol, its not quite the endo fo the world. There were 3 of us searching for this particular cache to no avail, leading me to believe my gps was off just a little too much. Again, i had never used any other gps and only recently started using mine to find exact locations for geocaching. I guess i just don't know what to expect from the GPS accuracy. ThE difference between that 1.75 ft and 13 ft was by far the closest variance i had experienced. All other tracking attempts were much further off.

Oh, i agree, but i would much rather search a 50 square foot area than a 300 square foot plot!

I own a Garmin Etrek Legend that i bought 4 or 5 years ago. It served its purpose well for fishing and canoe trips. However, now that i have recently discovered geocaching i have to say: This unit is innaccurate and unreliable for this hobby. Today i went searching for 5 caches and was only able to find 1! I would track a cache to within a few feet and then suddenly the unit switches to tell me i am 35 feet away and its behind me! Or i would track to the exact location on the unit and PRESTO I'm now 15 feet away in a different direction! This makes it impossible for me to find well hidden caches. ITs not just in heavy cover either, today i was out in a wide open area, trying to find the "End of Pier" cache, which is hidden in a rockpile along the side of the pier, a good quarter mile from the shoreline essentially in the middle of the St Mary's River. I track to within 1.75 feet, then after moving a foot i'm told its 13 feet away! In relatively clear skies! I have never owned or used any other GPS, how accurate are they supposed to be? DO the newer units have the same trouble? Is this normal behaviour for the Etrek Legend? My birthday is in a few weeks and i am pretty sure that I will be getting the Garmin Oregon 200 for a gift. I certainly hope somebody can tell me that this unit will be much more accurate than my Legend.
