Hmmm well nevermind...i posted this a couple weeks ago - it just showed up - and I already returned the crappy GPS unit!

I am hoping someone can help me! I have spent all day trying to figure all this out! My kids and I have been geocaching with our phones and finally decided to buy a "real" gps unit since we are about to go on vacation. The guy at the store went on and on about how wonderful and easy the Dakota 20 is and how awesome it would be for us since we wanted paperless caching etc etc etc. He had us convinced that this thing is the best and easiest thing for us to be geocaching with. Now I may be a complete moron - but we have wasted a whole day trying to find even one cache. yes it took me the first half of the day to get it registered and figure out how to load the caches on it from here. finally got some loaded and it looked like we were ready to go. packed up and headed out. we hit the lets go button and THERE ARE NO ROADS on the dang thing. I can see a highway but then NOTHING between the hiway and the cache....and its miles and miles! (we are not in the city caching by the way - we live out in the country so we thought we would start out here) am i missing something here?? is the gadget smarter than i am??? or did i really just pay over $300 for something and now i have to spend $130 more on maps??????? please help if you can!!!
