  1. i'm alsways in for 10 coins
  2. put me in for 5 bronze and 1 silver
  3. 16 Hours or Battery - Good luck with that if you don't have a charger in the woods.
  4. Hey - How come you 60CS Unit has..... ?seirogetaC tniopyaW
  5. guido666 “Why did it creat so many trail marker points? (I'm assuming there were automatically created as you walked the trail, and not waypoints downloaded from the software.” Nope – That’s the whole idea. Mark the trails and campsites in TOPO US – Put them in to categories in MapSource – download them to the 76CS……….and……………Whalla ! A big list of Garbage – Waypoints showing up on parallel trails that didn’t mean anything for two days………Fun stuff. Good thing the bugs weren’t too bad – I did a lot of standing and staring at the unit using the rocker to sort through the data.
  6. Hey - GPSMAP 60CS Ver. 4.00 as of June 20, 2005 Too Bad - Just a fix to the broken code. Those Russian programmers just can't seem to get it right.
  7. Was up in Isle Royale this weekend – Borrowed my Buddy’s 76CS – Surprised I was able to make it back ! The Garmin MapSource US TOPO was great – too bad that I had 247 “Trail Maker Waypoints” The guys with Map and Compass were able the route faster. vr12 - Enjoying your Garmin Sextant Unit?
  8. JohnnyVegas You Wrote: “The exlorsist also give you the option is storing waypoints in a file system, you can have several thousand way pints store in files that can be broken down to regions, cache type, cache ratting and so on, this is also a feature that is not offer in a Garmin” Be Advised: Mr. b_rad2cool and Mr. Rubberhead are taking care of the lack of waypoint management in the Garmin 60CS and 76CS. See attached letters to and from Garmin. To Garmin -> http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...7&hl=rubberhead From Garmin -> http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...l=crazy+diamond Shouldn’t be long before Garmin catches up to Magellan on this issue. I’m sure that the Magellan Developers took the most common sense approach at square one when they designed their units – WOW a way to manage waypoints – Let’s start there and build a unit around it. Externally Garmin is a better unit – Internally Magellan is a better unit. Did you ever see what a straight list of 950 Waypoints Names and Symbols looks like – if not - get your hands on a Garmin.
  9. CenTexDodger Oh Dude - It's only another view option you don't have to turn it on. It for people who download from computer and are organized. It you’re just pushing button to see where you are and you’ve been- keep doing it. I have 1,000 places to go and I need them organized. Are you on the right thread – POI’s Software request for Starbuck Locations is over on the “Ask Garmin for
  10. vr12 “Honest Pleasure, you may start speak your native language, it will make little difference.” I’m not an Indian.
  11. “I thought YOU were representative of Garmin?" No.........Like their products – Except this one lousy thing. Good fundamental company to own stock in GRMN.
  12. If you own a 60 CS or a 76CS Garmin doesn't even know who you are. They're staying away - You might start talking about the missing Waypoint Catagories!
  13. Syd did start Pink Floyd - God did start the world. World? - Pink Floyd? About the same......Yea ? I’m sticking with “God”
  14. vr12 “I didn't say that, I said "most people here" And I will add "Garmin would agree with me". THEN WHY DID THEY PUT IT IN THE QUEST UNIT? And why is it being used by Quest users every day. WHY DID THEY ADD IT TO MAPSOURCE? Because Waypoints with out a way to organize them - sucks. It will be in every unit from now on. Thanks to -> b_rad2cool and his awesome writing skills !!!!!!!!!!!!
  15. I thought Syd Barrett still lived in England? Unfortunately in a cage. I’m not Syd Barrett – Were you Fooled?
  16. vr12 “No, it is the first tume you are right (probably)” Remember – I wrote the software – Garmin? Thanks for the Jab.
  17. vr12 “And I think most of the people here will be against "file system" organization of waypoints” You’re probably right – Most people who don’t know how to use software that is. PS - > Preferences is in the Upper Left Hand Corner of the MapSource Screen – Go to your left shoulder – then over to the screen – There you go……you found it. Maybe I should start a Thread on Auto Safety when Searching Waypoints.
  18. vr12 Edit -> Preferences -> Waypoint Categories -> Give Them Names. I Guess I’m Wrong AGAIN – Do you work for Garmin? Thought So! What time is “Mouse Movement Class” ?
  19. b_rad2cool You’re still writing the letter? – We’re (I’m) all counting on you. Signed, Syd Barrett Pink Floyd Incorporated
  20. Sputnik 57 Yep post counts are important – they look good on the resume and move you up to the front of the food line.
  21. Who told you the secret – and how did you know that we didn’t have a mail room? Woodward and Bernstein – dadgum those guys !
