  1. Thanks yes I just noticed a new firmware is out so will try and update that I'm sure WAAS is enabled already but will double check after I update the firmware. Yes it does seem like if they are going to release a new unit in the GPSMAP handheld series it would be sometime this year. Guess I will see how it goes.
  2. Hi All, As like most of you looking though here I'm looking for a new GPS. Currently I have the Garmin GPSMAP62 got it back in 2011 and it's done me well. But have been having lots of problems with it recently. That's not why I'm here what I want to know is what is the best GPS like everyone, but I'm only looking on the bases of Performance and accuracy I read about this antenna being better then that one and so on. What I have noticed with current one on cloudy day and or dense forest it looks like it working but has me walking over here over there all the time saying I'm xx away from the cache then I have to do. recently this has started happening on sunny days out in the open. maybe this is just normal for everyone. but now I can't even do a calibration for the compass. Of course currently I'm looking at the GPSMAP64 or the Oregon 700 Series... I'm very open to others thoughts but again I'm looking for Performance and Accuracy. What hopping they would come out with a map66 yet it looks like they have moved on to inReach that has lots I don't need mind you it's going to be around the same price as Oregon. I would like to hear form people that have had two together or been out with others and noticed wow that one is so much better or are they all so close that it really does not matter
  3. I'm also very new at all this and wanted to know if anyone has the ability to clean up a TB that is no longer in a given Cache. I have found lots of Caches show a TB being in them for over a year but when I go and find the cache no TB is there. To me I find it's more existing not to know a TB will be there and get even more excited when you luck out and one is in fact in the cache.
