Selling your unit to a tarrorist and want it to be less effective. 3. H ate those crazy land based references 4. Prove that it can be done. 5. __________ fill in the blank. Fellow 330 owner.... Mark Robb spelling incorrect to allow it to be included I want to disable WAAS because my batteries are dying waaaayyyy tooooo fassssttt. I believe I've read before that WAAS will eat your batteries a lot faster than without it. I bought the unit off of eBay and it came with no manual. I tried downloading the manual from the Maggelan web site, but it's not working. I was able to look at other manuals, just not the one for the 330. John

Search the archives if you can't find it int he files section.) It's all covered in the Magellan 330 group... Ummm, Uhhhh, wellll. I checked it out. However the way they described it they said it could turn my GPS into junk. Does anyone know a less destructive way to disable waas? Thanks, John

How do I shut off WAAS? Plus does anyone else's batteries run out in 1 hour? Thanks in advance...

I left FOUR travel bugs in your cache. I believe this might be a record for the most in one cache at any given time. We had a wonderful time in London and want to thank all of the locals for a fantastic time. I have a great story about an attempted mugging in Soho, but will save that for another time as I am still jet lagged. Kudos to all in the UK, you are truly incredible people.

You know I was really excited to come to London next week.

I've got to wonder if I might be more accepted in Afghanistan.

How do you test the adapter to see if it is actually working (without leaving it plugged in overnight)? Thank you, it works. I'll try to close the thread.

I want to thank everyone. I did see "Londons First..." Had gone missing. I originally had it on my list because it's only a couple miles from where I'm staying (across from Hyde Park). That was a problem because that was gonna leave me with 7 virtuals and 1 actual cache. I have at least 4 Travel Bugs I need to drop off and I didn't want to leave them all in one cache. You guys(and or ladies) have all solved that problem . I'm gonna evaluate all the finds you have sent me and decide which ones I can go to. If you find anymore please feel free to post them. I don't leave for another 11 days. Virtual sightseeing one's are also welcome. Two more questions though: 1. Out of curiosity - what are the rules of caching in London. For example so far the only place I've heard you can't place a cache in America are National Parks. So Almost all our parks have them (In the DFW area). Is this prohibited in London? 2. the tapir asked if I have my A-Z? Don't know exactly what this is? Once again Thank You All and keep 'em coming

Hi, I am coming to London the first week of April. I have never been to England and was hoping for some help from the locals. If anyone knows of caches that are easy walking distance from the tube. Could you please send me the geocache link. I already have paddington dare. I also have the 6 sherlock holmes and Tombraider II. If you are familiar with any of the others near the tube stations please send me the links. I was hoping to get some caching in plus I have some bugs I need to leave your way. Thanks in advance, HackAttack

I'd give it a week before worrying too much about it. This could have been someone from out of town on vacation doing a little caching. Probably doesn't have access to a computer and won't till he gets back? Give it a week then send out the search party.

By the way I was ready to buy the GPS III plus until I saw the Legend had WASS (however doesn't have an antenna. Plus I believe the Legend has about 6.5 more Megs?

I have the R&R and Topo so I wanted to stick with Garmin. Let me know your opinions on which is better between the GPS III Plus - Legend - Summitt - ?. I geocach and go out of town a bit. Thanks in advance.

I'm from Texas and will be traveling to London in April. Without searching every cashe detail in the United Kingdom how would I go about just finding the coordinates for caches in the London Area? If anyone lives in London and can send me the coordinates I believe I can enter the as my home coordinates and fine casches that way.
