The Halflings

Try using a 32 bit version, I've had the same issue and the only thing I could put it down to was that I was using a 64 bit IE9 Halflings dad

What model? I have seen/used 4 different models and none allow you to put in a lat/lon for a point. That is my gripe with car GPS units I have seen. Yea, they are reasonably accurate and fast, again reasonably so. None I have seen (like the TomTom's) have a compass or bearing/distance display nor allow discreet point entry from lat/lon coords. Using a nuvi 265t, use GSAK to upload waypoints and read the tutorial!!

What app is this? OruxMaps has OS maps for free Anquet are about to launch an app for Android and iphone.

Can't beat a good Dummies book

We currently use a car satnav, to get us to the start point then unplug and use it once near the cache area as the GPS receiver in it is fairly accurate and quick, it is for a car after all!! We then use either a Android or Blackberry phone on which we stash all the GPX files, most apps will allow you to download a pocket query direct to the phone, save it to your SD card and use the offline lists when searching for caches. I currently run a 1000 cache file on my phone, it takes up suprisingly little space. And anyone reading this in the UK, your about to get a GPS app for your phones that will allow you to upload, for a price, OS maps to your phone. (In BETA testing) Halflings dad

I seem to be still able to pick routes within 1/2 a miles with reduced terrain, I also can still limit the number of caches. You are able to move the sliders with your mouse are you? Just telling you it still works for me won't be much help!! Halflings dad

Been using our NUVI 2650 works well for us. Use GSAK for up loading details from my pocket query each week, have mangaged to find a macro that does most of the hard work. Been paperless caching for ages with it. You do have to switch the setting between pedestrian and vehicle but it's no big deal. I've been using it and my Android phone and an etrex and the Nuvi responds the quickest. Of course it's not perfect but then getting there is only part of the hunt. Halflings dad

I'm lurking, I'll ask about. Halflings dad, Aberdeenshire

I send The Halflings off to get the more remote ones, I tend to concentrate on the cache and dash. Halflings dad

We use our old satnav (Nuvi265WT)for the paperless bit, using GSAK for the downloads and a very nice article on here somewhere about paperless cacheing. I was given a eTrex by Uncle Ian who'd gone all fancy GPS on us. I load the co-ords in to that and set The Halflings off. But it all comes down to how much you want to spend. Halflings Dad

After coming on here and reading the posts last night I did a search on my local area and found a page and a half of caches requiring a visit. So The Halflings will be out and about or we could if Delta 68 doesn't mind pinch the text and set a resuscitator ourselves. Halflings dad

Spoke to the Banff and Buchan college today, Friday 19th August 2011. Any members in the Grampian region up for meeting quarterly to have tea, coffee and a biscuit or two? The college have offered us use of their Learning Centres in Macduff, Huntly, Ellon and a room at their main campus in Fraserburgh to have meet and greet, once a year at each location. We would have to wait until after the start of night classes in mid September before we could organise the first one, availability of rooms. If your up for this drop me a line. Halflings dad
