    Are you a lazy 1/1 geocacher?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    Most of my caches are of the 1/1 variety. I recall feeling as though I had climbed Everest after finding my first! I have a spinal cord injury and have a lot of paralysis in my legs and feet. I for one appreciate the availability of caches that I can seek. Lazy? I don't think so... see ya, jeff'

    Ok... my wife tells me I am cheap however I really am just conservative!!

     

    Does anyone have suggestions for an inexpensive PDA to load GPX files into? This is the only thing that I would use it for. After looking at the reems of paper we burn up printing cache info, we need a better solution. Would a bargain basement Palm device work for this?

     

    thanx, jeff'

    I have installed Watcher... When I click on the Watcher icon, I get a box that says Watcher on the top and a white screen with a little pacman looking icon in there. I do not see how to open a GPX file. If I double click a GPX file it opens into EasyGPS. I do not see another way to open the file? Suggestions?

     

    thanx, jeff'

    Geocaching Attributes List.

    The wheelchair attribute is a wonderful idea.As a person that suffered a sudden back injury and went from being somewhat normal in mobility to using a wheelchair. It occurs to me that when I could walk well, I did not have the insight to determine what was a barrier or a challenge to a wheelchair bound person. I suggest that if you define what wheelchair access means that you seek the assistance of someone that has used a wheelchair while seeking Geocaches.

    do you enjoy easy finds or tough finds the best?

    I really enjoy the easy ones... I have some real mobility problems right now and am tied to a walker or wheelchair. Or course this really limits what I can seek. Fortunately there are a lot in my area that fit my needs. Now when I am better, which could be a while, I really like getting out in the sticks so I am looking forward to a time when I can seek the more difficult ones.

    Reconditioned? GPS III Plus?

    From the horses mouth... thanx, jeff'

     

    Thank You for contacting GARMIN:

     

    We appreciate your inquiry. A reconditioned unit simply means that the unit has been returned to GARMIN for one reason or another and "reconditioned" or fixed to like new condition, and sent back out. The units are still good and useable in every aspect. If you have any problem within the first year of ownership, GARMIN offers a one year warranty on all manufacturer defects, and is the same as the warranty you would receive from a new unit.

     

    Best Regards,

    Reconditioned? GPS III Plus?

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    This morning while thumbing through the paper I tripped over the Garmin GPS III Plus on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods for $179. Reading the fine print, it said that these units are reconditioned and have a one year warrenty. So I picked one up... everything about it looks new, I wouldnt have known that it was reconditioned unless they had disclosed it. Does anyone know what "reconditioned" actuall means?
