As said the 450 will hold 5000 caches....most I've had loaded is 4500. I also put the caches in memory as I buy the Garmin City Nav on a SD card....fast, works great, and has hotels, restaurants, parks, etc. Thanks for the info I was thinking I might need an SD but looks like I won't need one just yet!

Thanks for all this advice. I have been on talkytoaster and downloaded a map think I just need convertor or something to actually get in on my Oregon as it is in a file that I can't open.. Is this normal?!!

Thank you SO much for all of these responses. Will check out talkytoasty and get myself a 4gb card. As you guessed I am already a little but confused about waypoints and geocaches - I'm guessing a 'waypoint' is the cache? but not sure... anyway will have a look on the wiki page and if I have any problems come back here Thanks again. Can't wait to try some overseas caches

Hi, I have recently upgraded from an iPhone to a Oregon 450- the reason being I want to do some caching in Norway and when I go on holiday so thought proper GPS would a good idea so I don't have a massive bill. I have a few questions and hope you can help... 1. Can you recommend anywhere to get free maps to load on Garmin- for uk and Norway ( any information on the format i need to down load would be great. 2. With the Oregon 450 do I have to load the caches on to the device one at time or can I send like 1000 based on postcode - and if so how do I do this? I have messed around but have been unsuccessful 3. Is there any way I can look at the Oregon whilst it's charging in my computer as it stays on the charging screen? Also I don't know if it is important but i have a mac not pc?? Any tips or advice you could give me in preparation for using the new Oregon in Norway would be really helpful and appreciated. Many Thanks Natalie

Thank You I didn't even know you existed! will pop alaong and say 'hello'

Is the garmin etrex any good? would you recommend to a beginner?

Just out of interest, Which one did you buy? how much did you pay and would you recommend it? Thanks

She! meant iphone 3g! not ipod 3g, sorry about that. Thanks for all the info, as i thought the iphone isn't good for placing caches. Thanks for all the information though.

Hello, Hope someone out there can help am new have a few questions myself as am wanting to hide my first cache! My question is that of location and the best way to get an accurate reading to place a cache, And do you know of any good aps to for ipod 3g?
