[What Type Of Swag Do You Hope To Find?]

Our local Wal-Mart has a big barrell of $1 DVDs.  Its mostly a bunch of old westerns and junk  I'd have no interest in watching, but someone might.  Would this be acceptable to leave as a trade item or should I assume that since I'm not interested, others won't be either?

Heaven forbid no - I Love old westerns!!

Old westerns! Great Idea! Hope I don't find too many though, I may not have time to cache anymore

I'd say it's not worth the pain (pain = $$ upgrade cost + wacky copy protection where you MUST have the CD in the drive and it will only work with one GPS like direct route does).

 

You mean you can't just load it on your hard drive and be done with it? I tend not to keep the original CDs handy.

[Pay For Gps Service?]

Good One!!!!!!

[Adult Only Cache]

I'd say "nyet," and quite forcefully.

 

First of all, most of the things that people call "adult" are pretty darned childish. Almost a schoolboy's weird fixation with female body-parts. It is certainly not something that I would ever want to go out into the woods to see. (There are already enough weird things out in the woods...)

Agreed.

What is your budget? Don't forget that you may want to buy mapping software also.

[Why So Many Micros?]

Is it the size of the container that “traditionalists” object to or is it that people are “cheapening” the sport by placing lots of caches in easy to get to and easy to find places?

 

Just think, what if all those urban micro hunters were all tramping through the woods

[Legend C Vs. Gpsmap 60c]

As long as you are waiting for your tax refund anyway, you may want to consider the Explorist 600 that will start shipping soon. It runs about $358 at tigergps.com

[Garmin Color Handheld Rebate]

Kudos to Amazon for the price rebate.

 

I was thinking of the 60CS or Meridian Color but now I'm holding out for the Explorist 600 as the price dropped.

Current price of 347.93 (+$10 shipping) at tigergps.com

[Garmin Color Handheld Rebate]

Suggested Retail Price:

$535.70 U.S.D. (for domestic US market only)

[Garmin Color Handheld Rebate]

gpsexplorer.com is offering the 60CS for 435.95 but they are offering a double rebate. Net cost 335.95 including shipping.

[Garmin Gpsmap 60cs V Magellen Meridian Color]

I’ve narrowed my choices down to the Garmin GPSMap 60CS and Magellan Meridian Color. Both are the same price ($335…best I’ve found so far)

 

I’ve read almost everything that I can find on this site about both units.

 

In general the Garmin is a little faster at obtaining a fix, but the Magellan is a little better at maintaining the fix. The Garmin is a little smaller but the Magellan has street names on their topo maps. The Magellan has a memory card slot, but the 56mb on the Garmin seems to be enough for the majority of users.

 

It seems that the Garmin fans (on this site anyway) are more numerous, or at least more vocal.

 

I’m new to geocaching and would appreciate any last advice before making my purchase.
