  7. sorry to hear about your misfourtune.dont let the b,s get you down.some people make you wonder
  8. From the waypoint co-ords you give as an example you want to enter a waypoint as OS grid co-ords. If that's right first of all you need to make sure you have got your position format set correctly. Press the page button until the main menu is displayed. Highlight Setup and press enter. In the new menu displayed highlight Units and press enter. At the top of the screen displayed now is Position Format and it should be highlighted so press enter and then scroll down to highlight British Grid and press enter. Now press the Quit button a couple of times to return to the main menu. If you now press the Mark button the co-ords shown are displayed in OS Grid format (Grid code +10 digit reference) which if you highlight the co-ords and press enter you will be able to edit the figures to your chosen waypoint. May I just add that this isn't the usual position format that is used for geocaching. That would be hddd mm.mmm format which, as has already been mentioned, would enable you to enter co-ords 'en masse' via PQ's and the likes of GSAK. thanks thatwas really clear and easy to understand i want to use it for hiking
  9. The easiest (manual) way is to push the mark waypoint button on the left. When the next screen comes up change the icon and numbers to reflect the ones you want. To input a bunch, I would use GSAK to load a pocket query from gc.com and send them to the Garmin. tried that does not work or i cant get it to.is there a simpler way
  10. can any one tell me how i put map waypoints into my gps ie852 937 how would i put that into my gps. please explain in simple terms so that i can understand thanks for any help
  11. went on the friday had a good day.cant believe the number of gps being sold and the number of people round the stall (garmin). wish i had more money to spend. will be there next year
  12. that explains how i feel.glad its not just me
  13. i agree and have thought this for a while.i think more care should be taken before placing caches.i agree that caches seem to be placed just for the sake of it.i have done some that seem that the cacher has just been walking along and just thrown it down and thought thats ok for a place for a cache and just left it. i agree about placing more quality caches and enjoying them. i am now more interested in quality cachhes then numbers now.and i certainly enjoy my surroundings more then just rushing up to a cache signing the log and rushing off.
  14. one near me called film set 10 harry potter gc5cb9. i believe its one of the train stations they used and you can see it in the film.
  15. ive only done 426 in three years i thought that was slow.but its not a race .just go at your own pace.
