Hello Everyone, Are there any tools/rules or devices that will help in determining a GPS location on the Quads? I would like to be able to plot a location on the map to help in determining my location before I go out and do my research. Thanks for the help

contact the group www.ntoa.com there are several people there that use that program all the time. They are always creating maps. Look up Peter Snell... great source and is an expert in this program.. Not sure what part of the country you live, but if you are Dallas... This would be the group to help you out...

Hello Everyone, I am the Meet Director for an Orienteering event that is happening March 18, 19 and we have added a GPS Brown course... (not easy) The runners with a gps will be given the coordinates to the first marker, get the next set of coordinates to the next. and so on until they reach the finish line. So, yes,... there is orientering and GPS stuff all the time... Plus we have 30 hidden caches at the camp for fun... later Wretsub

Sorry... I will repost wretsub n5plw - 73

Hello I have a mps file that was send to me and I need to review and load into my gpsr. I have looked at GSAK and EasyGPS, but I can not find a place to load and look at the coordinates. Can someone suggest a program or how to use the above... Thanks Wretsub

I am working on a sporting event that has both orinteering and gps courses. My main course setting set me a file ending in .mps (which contains waypoints) I have Garmin equipment... what is the best way to view and load this file? Does easyGPS work? thanks for any help

On the side note... I agree about a wish list to Garmin! Thanks for all the help in this matter... still trying to understand, but at least I am moving down the road...

After many hours of playing... I got the answer pointdexter got!!! So, now I can go and determine my other points and get the GPS setting... Thanks for everyone's help

Hello... I just wanted to add some additional information and explain why I need to know how to do this (sputnik57, I appreciate your reply) I am currently setting up over 50 points on a map to do an Orienteering Course (For those who do not know what that is... www.ntoa.com). On a map, I locate these different points, and then I have to go and set flags at these locations, so the distance could be from 100 meters to over 900 meters away from my starting point. With the ability to project a gps location, I can then have my helpers load their GPSr and get within range where the flag is suppose to be hung. In the same concept, I am setting up a GPS course with flags. With me knowing the projected waypoint, I can go to these areas on the maps, hang a flag, that the GPS runner will be looking for. Hope that makes sense.. So, any help in understanding the Forward/Inverse program would to calulate these points would be greatly appreciated.... Clif

Hello Pointdexter, Ok.. (you are dealing with a rookie here)... I figured out that I need to down the program, and did that without a problem. Could you tell me how you entered the azimuth. In the first station, I entered 33 14.031n and 97 52.201w then I entered 322 and distance of 300 I get an azimuth error.. could you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks for your help

gpsdiscount... the best!

I did not see where I could enter the items I need to enter to get my needed way point? Is there anything outthere cheaper?

I am in the need of a program to project a way point when I have the following: a. starting waypoint b. distance to the desired location c. the angel from the a to b. I have a Garmin foretrex that projects a waypoint, but the problem is that the distance is to large to use for this to be any help. The distance is only avaiable in 000.0 miles or 000.0km For example I have a waypoint N33 14.031 w 097 52.201 I have a distance of 330 meters and an angle of 322 degrees... what is the next waypoint to input? Is there a converter somewhere? Thanks for any help in this matter. Wretsub

I would like to add my 2cents worth about Garmin. This is one great company when it comes to customer support. I have had several problems (or thought i had problems) and everytime the customer support person has been great. I even asked for a picture diagram on how to connect my wraist strap to my Rino 120...cause it was not working... they sent me a whole back cover with the strap attached...WOW!! All my future needs in GPSr will come from this company.... Wretsub...Georienteer Wretsub .. Georienteereer!! Angel Pockets Embroidey "Our Stitches are Heavenly!!" wretsub@hotmail.com

Hello, Where did you get these items? Wretsub Angel Pockets Embroidey "Our Stitches are Heavenly!!" wretsub@hotmail.com

I have three rino's and I have not.. repeat not been happy with them at all. The radio is very poor in my opinion, I got the GMRS lic. but the radios have less that a mile range. My rino's lock up after about an hour on the road. I lose signal very fast, and the accuracy is always about 30 feet. If i had to do it over, I would get separate units for the radios, and a better upgrade GPS. Wretsub Georienteerer! Wretsub Angel Pockets Embroidey "Our Stitches are Heavenly!!" wretsub@hotmail.com

Hello, I am needing some help understanding a feature in the Rino 120. On page 22 of the manual, it talks about CDI scale and Bearing Pointer/Course Pointer. I am having problems understanding Course Pointer and the CDI Scale. When do I use this feature and how is the best way to use it. Also, do not understand at what scale to set the CDI.

Hello Fellow Geocachers, I purchased two Rino 120's and I would like to know if anyone is having the following problems before I contact Garmin. It is mainly with the radio (the reason I purchased the GPS was for the radios). The sound is very very poor and the range is less that 1/2 mile on either fms/gmrs. This is a line of sight without any objects in line of sight! Also, when I place the radio on monitor, all I get is static. It is like the squech button is open(of course there is no squech button, as with my Ham radio's). Is anyone having these problems, cause I would love to monitor a channel with my partner when she and I are in the woods. The sound on the radio is like one is in a well.... My reg. FMS radios work better that these... Thanks for the help in this matter Wretsub ....
