    Nj Geocaching Clubs

    in Northeast

    Posted

    Check this out.

    Forget the North-South thing, when it comes to borders, Jersey is East and West. :unsure:

    Interesting enought, this line also seems to coincide with which city, the phrase, "The City" refers to when spoken by it's resident.

    We have to Say New York.... As for East an West New Jersey very interesting.

    I've often heard that Central Jersey consists of the 3 M'S. (Middlesex, Monmouth, Mercer and Somerset). I've also heard many people suggest that area code 732 is Central Jersey.

    Since those Northern city-wishers consider south of 78 to "South Jersey", and the Pineys consider north of 195 to be "North Jersey". I guess we can call everything between 78 & 195 to be Central Jersey.

     

    Agreed, So when are you going to create a "Central NJ Geo Gang" ? :D

    I distinctly saw two clubs. There is a nothern one. anyway, I guess I qualify for the Southern Club :D (wouldn't want to join the north one anyway).

    So, I guess I should just look for meetings or get togethers then?

    OK, there is a north Jersey club and a South Jersey Club...anything for central NJ cachers out there ? If not, where is the North South dividing line ?

    I'm in WoodBridge

     

    Thanks,

    Would it be posible to have a link or option to associate a jpg (topo map) specific to a cache on the list ?

    Right now I use expertgps to download my topo maps . Then export them, drop and drag to a folder on the PPC. The only way I can find them later on(which isn't the end of the world)is to rename them the same name as the cache.

     

    I hope you understand my question.... icon_confused.gif

    PPC software - what do you use?

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I use GPSsonar, GPSview, and have just installed Mapopolis (great program) I'm still familiarizing myself with Mapopolis. As far as connecting between the PPC ipaq 3955 and the GSPmap76 I went to www.bluehillsinnovations.com for the cord I needed. You can power both the GSPR and the PPC while communicating between the two with or without extermnal power.

     

    I like things simple, neat...yet complete. Not a million cords runnning all over the place. The only thing I wish I had at this point was a way to link my topo maps to GPSsonar cache list.

    Airlid,

    Go to set center coordinates ...tap and hold on an individual cache. Then in "list options" you find "set center coordinates" plug in your home coordinates or where ever you might be.

     

    To Geoman question:

     

    The title bar (eg. TB, Note, Name...)resets after I close the program. Is there a way to save my setings so I don't have to readjust the title bar every time I open GPXsonar ?

    Thanks

    Thanks I was al ittle leery about the downloads when reading the M&P's on the process and couldn't find a specific answer to my questions in the FAQ's. You cleared that up for me...thanks.

     

    I think I'll make this purchase. Mapopolis is exactly what I was looking for so I didn't have to lug around my laptop.

     

    Now to find the cords I'l need and which expansion pack for my ipaq 3955.

     

    Thanks again,

    Bob

    I noticed the maps are dowloaded from the mapopolis web site as needed for the first year for free (incl.with purchase). Can these maps be saved on your desktop for future and or reuse and loaded onto your PPC at a later date ?

    I know if I wanted an updated release of a map there would be a purchase of the newer map required.

    PDA Mapping w/GSPR via external cabling

    icon_confused.gifI'm looking for opinions from those of you that use your PPC connected to your GPSR and track your movments as you would if you were using mapsource and a laptop with the GPSR connected to it.

     

    icon_rolleyes.gifMy Goal is to connect my GPSmap76 or Vista to my ipaq 3955. I don't know which mapping software to use that offers me the most features.

     

    icon_biggrin.gifI don't want to purchase the bluetooth GPS mapping package.

     

    icon_cool.gifThanks...Bob

    Mapsource - which to choose?

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I agree with "Jolly B. Good" I like Mapsource "Metroguide"(only option recomended by Garmin for GPSmap76). As far as topomaps go...I don't like Garmin Topo maps (lacks the detail). I have yet to find any other topo software I can load directly load into our Etrex Vista (nor have I been actively looking either). I use ExpertGPS for topo maps then load them into my iPAQ fo viewing.

    Loading Topo maps into iPAQ 3955 pocket PC

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    Ok...I want to share this....

    I found a way to load topo maps to my iPAQ 3955...easy as ExpertGPS. After locating a map that you want to use just pull down the "Map" menu and then select "export Image". this will save in a Jpeg format. then just drop and drag to a folder on your ipaq and your ready to go....the iPAQ then views the map in windows viewer. However, ExpertGPS does let you zoom in and out. so, look for your quality preference. It also alows you to change the size of the exported file. You'll have to play with this. I can open a 1meg jpg. file, but not a 2meg file without a memory upgrade. Not a problem though...just save separate map leg files and change the file your viewing as you go along.

     

    I hope this helps others...I don't know if the shareware version of ExpertGPS will allow you to export files. I may be worth the purchase. I already made the purchase sometime ago...
