  1. I have been following the discussion here and I think I will try this with my GC. I have a question about the maps, can I just reinstall the map from the GC files I saved or do I need to re-install them with Vantage point? The file looks like it is call map.dat and is in the mapdata folder.

    Thanks for all the help.

  2. ...but it keeps saying you are not authentic or something...

    It would help enormously if you could tell us exactly what it says. Without that, we're just guessing what the problem might be and probably won't be much help.

  3. Hi, I have tried to go on the site where it says "click on the link below to either accept or decline this friend invite" but it keeps saying you are not authentic or something and won't come up with the accept or decline button. This is the message that the person I sent the friend request gets,do you have any clues?

    Thanks

  4. No because we usually use both gpsr at the same time. I use one and my wife uses the other but we have learned to keep walking and get a fix, usually at right angles to the cash then change direction and walk straight in if possible. It is not as nice as the 450 but like I say for the price it is very good and a good unit to start with. I have also seen on some forums that there is a way to convert this unit over to a 310.

  5. I have the GC and an Oregon 450 and for the price the GC is a very good unit. It has paperless caching, comes with a very good map and is easy to use except the joy stick can sometimes be a pain. Also just found out that if you turn the smart arrow off and use the standard arrow it seems more accurate when you get close to the cache.

     

    Thanx, do you find the lack of an electronic compass is a big drawback? Compared to the 450

  7. Nice unit and fairly accurate. The included street maps a very complete. However, you cannot add any maps to the unit.

     

    Some folks find the unit to be lacking in overall features but good for Geocaching.

     

    Personally, I would recommend the Garmin eTrex 20 as a best unit for a new cacher.

     

    Thanx I will look into that one. Does it provide paperless caching?

  8. I moved those pdf files to a different card and that seems to work fine. I also found that I can put my gpx files on an sd card and that also works fine. Now when i go somewhere on a trip I can just put all those gpx files on sd cards and should never run out of storage again as I can just delete them or buy another card for a few dollars. Thanks

  9. When I check my Oregon 450t on the computer it says there is only 7 mg left on memory, but I see a bunch of pdf files that look like the owners manuals in about 30 different languages. Can I safely delete these files to make more space? Should I move them to the micro card or just delete them? Thanks for any help.
