I need to find a calculator that works under windows 98, (and also 3.0 ce would be nice) where I can enter DEG/MIN/SEC and see DEG/MIN/MM and DEG/MIN/MMM and DEG.DDDDD or any which way. It would be nice to be able to alter one value and update all others. Any help or do I have to hone up on my visual basic. I made one in VB6 along time ago, easy and quick to make since you are not changing to another datum. No matter where you go... There you are! NTGA member

quote:Originally posted by Doug Tabacco:Hi there, I'm pretty new to GPS, and I just got an eTrex Legend. What I'm wondering is, are there alternatives to the MapSource CD-ROMs that can be used with the Legend? I'm a college student, and it was enough of a stretch to get the GPS unit itself, so the MapSource software is just a little out of reach. Sorry if this is a dumb question yes! there are lots of programs to use with the GPS, some are free! BUT! map source is the only one that can upload maps to the GPS No matter where you go...

Oh, wait, I'm showing my age.... DON'T TOUCH THAT INTERRUPT BUTTON!!!

quote:Originally posted by st_richardson:Looks interesting and very usefull. Can you down load info? The only drawback I see is the time to enter data. not at this time... I use cut and paste for the heavy data input usually from avantgo page, mobipocket, or just the note pad from pc synced to the palm. If the GPX format becomes available on geocaching perhaps I could use this to load the info in a PC conduit and sync to palm. No matter where you go... There you are! NTGA member

quote:Originally posted by GrizzlyJohn: are you saying that the GC man looks close enough to the Groundspeak man? quote:I happen to think it looks close yes. I just pointed out a possible problem. If you don't think it is that close -- I am not a lawyer. But I can certainly see if someone wants to make a case about it I would not find it too far of a stretch. then take a look at Handspring's logo.. should someone here be sweating bullets?

The other site? I know of at least 2 other sites. I post my caches and finds to all 3! but most of the caches listed are here. I started listing mine on all 3 since reading the (old now) threads here about (shareing the info & hording the data... who's cache is it any way) I choose where my caches are listed! and log any I find on sites they are listed on. If Enron can fold, why would I leave my caches listed in 1 basket? No matter where you go... There you are! NTGA member

I wrote this one to make notes and such 'in the field' while geocaching. GeocachingDB It does not have GPS functions like the previous programs do, but I like it. No matter where you go...

Anything else? been there, done them and had a blast! answers #1 since I did all the parks I looked for them all, most are virtuals. #2 I was a bit nurvous about taking in GPS with security doing bag checks, but with my (pda, camera,gps,gobs of pins) had no problems at all. #3 do some pin traiding too.

Anybody have any info? sounds like this one http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=33557 it's easy to search for events that have not yet taken place, from the main geocaching.com page search by state, this will list all in the state by date order, any listed at a future date will be on top.
