Greetings from Czech
Do you want back Google maps ? Use this script http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/125926
Great script, thank you!

Has anyone used one yet? Pro's? Con's?
I'm looking for a set up for a group of non techies that need to occasionally go out and walk a boundary line and take pictures. Are they easy to use? Camera quality? I was originally going to set them up with an HP 211 with a CF GPS loaded with ArcPad and also a Sony Cybershot GPS camera but that might be too technical for them. Having one piece of equipment is more desireable than carrying 2 in the field.
Thanks in advance!

I think Canby, Oregon has done something similar, might want to check how they went about it.
-
Might want to reconsider the timing of the Palouse/Quad Cities CM. The Palouse might still be covered in snow like it is this year. Might have to just make it the Twin Cities CM.

Regarding the OP, I don't think it will run on 2002. The Microsoft .Net Compact Framework V2 requires Windows Mobile 2003 and Wherigo requires .Net V2.
I guess I need to look at upgrading. Vista won't sync with WM2002 either, so my E740 is effectively obsolete.
Yep, found that out... Darn! Well, I think I found a copy of PPC 2003 that I'm going to load and see if that won't fix the PDA to run Wherigo. Thanks for confirming for me.

Thank you for the advice. It looks like I should check out the county assessor. Thank you again.
I can make you a KML of BLM lands for Google Earth. What area would you like?
-
Will this support Pocket PC 2002? Thank you!

How can that be? They are absolutely terrible. How can they be so good for you and be so unusable for so many others?
I've been subscribed to this forum, just to see if any neat new features would get added after I commented and saw the original changes. I've been surprised to see all the complaints, as I haven't had any problems with them either.
Maybe I'm not pushing them to their limits or using what the full potential could be, but I travel all the time and use the map to get started, get my bearings, and usually create an associated pocket query. I almost wonder if we need to start posting operating system, hardware, software configurations...
I'm using XP, and switch between Firefox and IE7. I use different ISP's all the time, different airports, hotels, businesses, and my home.
I'm like you PilotMike, I've used the new maps on both Firefox, and IE7, XP and Vista platforms and at least 5 different computers and have not had one problem. Only thing I can figure out is that those that are having problems must have some sort of setting or add on that is creating problems for them. I'm on the other side of the spectrum with the google maps, I think they are absolutely great!

That would be the TIGER data from the US Census which includes roads, census tracts, etc. But to answer your question, yes I would consider them one in the same (two-may-toe, toe-mah-toe).
-
Yeah, but is GPX Sonar reliable? I haven't been able to get on their site for days.
-
before you decide from those programs, check out this one that I've been using for 2.5 years now on my Dell Axim 5. BEELINE GPS. I think it's just about the best out there. Does it all. I also like Cachemate and some of its features, but I use Beeline 98% of the time.
My 2cents.

I'm not fond of the smilies. I don't know which cache is which. I pulled up something out along I-95. I see a bunch of smilies for those I've found. Those I haven't found as of yet are just the usual cache with the green lid. I can't tell which cache is which without clicking on them.
I liked it much better with the listing of caches on the right being numbered, and the caches showing on the map had a number on them. I knew that caches three and seven were right by each other. Now I can't see that. Bummer when I'm out driving and looking at the map!No need to log out, just click on the "Hide My Finds" box in the legend. It will simply turn the smilies off.
-
Wow, I don't see any of those negative comments happening... I'm using FireFox 2.0.0.8.
The squares around the icons are smaller, but I like that, just fits the multiple cache icon. The problem before, was the icons were hard to see against the imagery.
What browser are you using Cassaroll168?
-
So on the "DOQ" tab(or button) it has USGS icons on it, are those benchmarks?? Really cool if they are
Also my cache icons weren't showing up at first when I looked at the maps but now they are showing up just fine.
Nope, not benchmarks, more like watermarks.
-
Thanks for the new map updates (10-25-07)! Small bugs with the icons having a red dot in the middle, but understand this is a work in progress. Great features, thanks!

BeeLine GPS
www.visualgps.net
I've been using it for two years now, and it is by far most intuitive and feature rich program I have tried so far.
-
I use BeeLine GPS. Worth every penny, great tech support, the best all in one caching program in my opinion.
-
I believe they went out in the mail this weekend, with the holiday, it should be sometime this week. I got my notice via email that mine was shipped on the 8th.

I'll volunteer to be one fo the reviewers! Seriously.

For caching and light hiking, I prefer any one of my three pair of Merrells (Chameleon II Stretch Gore-Tex®, Chameleon (the older style) or Caper). They don't need breaking in, are super-comfy right out of the box, and have a female-specific foot bed (Q-Form) in their women's styles. The Gore-Tex® pair are supreme for early morning and after-the-rain walks in the field. The ones pictured are discontinued but are available at the REI Outlet (there's also a non-Gore-Tex® version on sale. For me, nothing compares to Merrell for this type of shoe. I have Asolos for more rigorous hiking and backpacking.
I'll second this suggestion. I have these in the non-gore-tex version, but after a recent trip to Washington's Westside, I wish I did. These are great for Idaho, but I'm sure this spring I'll be wishing I had the gore-tex version. These are so comfortable, I'll be getting another pair. Can't go wrong with Merrell!

Very nice program! I haven't used Virtual Earth much, but I sure will now. Thanks for sharing.

Just found this on the web through the Google Earth Blog. You can use this tool to upload the maps you make through "Google My Maps" and download them directly to your Garmin GPS or convert them to GPX format. TakItWithMe

First lesson is to know the difference between coordinates and datums. UTM is a coordinate system (like lat/long) and WGS84 is a datum. Coordinates will use different datums. A datum defines the shape of the earth. So if you want to learn how to convert between datums such as NAD 27 and WGS84, there are some online resources that do this automatically for you or show you the long drawn out version that will use your noddle, pen and paper. The easiest is to use the GC.com cache page, in the box in the middle of the page right by the lat/long of the cache, you will see, "other conversions".
This site has some very good resources. Explanation of Datums, etc.

My vote would be for a Palouse CM or a Missoula CM.
I liked it much better with the listing of caches on the right being numbered, and the caches showing on the map had a number on them. I knew that caches three and seven were right by each other. Now I can't see that.

MS recently "upgraded" their logo after 25 years to something that looks very similar to one we've all known since 2001. Thoughts? Microsoft Image
