Les Nomades

I think it would be cool, kids will love it. It's kinda dissapointing when there's nothing interesting. Even saw some paper clips, .........not even colored ones. Althought the game is finding the cache, kids can't wait to see whats inside.......well I know I do

Everytime I tried to explain the game with the word cache, people would say "oh it's like a treasure hunt" so now, thats what I tell them, ....it's a treasure hunt

One of the biggest difference, the Legend C versus the B/W is it can do auto routing. More memory, 24 megs for the LegendC compared to 8 megs for the Legend B/W and the color screen does make a big difference for seeing details and it really lights up when the sun comes down on it.

Well by what I read on other threads, the more POI is not really what makes the maps section bigger. Seems to be the way the software is made. Read a post regarding Garmin possibly making the futur City Navigator differently so the maps sections would take less memory, to accomodate users with units with less memory like the LegendC etc. here is a thread that could help

The difference between City Navigator and City Select is that City Navigator maps sections take more memory then City Select. I think it's something that you may want to take into consideration.

Check also if NMEA is on. Oops forget this one: wrong answer in the wrong thread

What model are you using, is it the first time you use it, have you installed the driver and does your pc recognize your unit. Have you tried downloading waypoints to see at least if the cable works

First thing that comes to my mind, are you downloading the right software for the right unit? edit: and did verify does 3 points

A nice exemple of the importance of the rating. Beeing rated 1.5/1.5, there had to be an easier way. The importing thing is you had a good time.

Go to My Account and look at the top of the page, to the right and click on Members Features

If you go to My Account and click serch for nearest cache from home coordinates, you'll have a listing of cache and a NEW tag will appear beside the cache name. When you are a premium member, you can receive notification by e-mail as soon as the cache is published.

Sorry but I don't believe that cache owners would make their own rating because they have no amphaty for new players. I also got often frustrated for not finding a cache but once I found it, I realized that I was the one to blame for not finding it sooner, not the cache owner. The difficulty/terrain go from 1 to 5 only. What do the logs on the cache that made you unhappy say? Surely your not the only new player to visit these cache so it should reflect what people think of these cache. If there were 10 logs before you complaining about the cache I would understand. But if the large majority of the cachers found the cache easily well then the rating must be OK.

sssshhhhhhh......don't say a word if they are found logs

We are also going on a cruise but not on the same islands. What I did is I downoaded the cache in the different areas, some of them I e-mailed the owners to get some information. As for transportation, by looking in the brochure from our ship, a majority of the islands you can rent a jeep for the day. Thats what we intend to do. Hope you have a nice trip

Not all receivers are like that and yes some receivers are better or faster then others

Your terminology is incorrect. The difficulty has nothing to do with terrain. That's what the "Terrain" rating is for. The "Difficulty" is used to rate how much thought must go into finding the cache, either with a puzzle, or with a clever hide technique. Difficulty can be affected by poor reception. If I hide a cache in a canyon (natural or urban) it makes it very hard to pinpoint ground zero. Thus, the difficulty rating should be increased to account for the large search area required. Jamie Yeah, maybe I didn't use the right word, I was trying to explain how hard walking or getting to the cache sight but I'm sure he understood what I ment As for reception in the woods for rating difficulty, well I think it's a matter of opinion. Some cache are hidden in woods during winter time with no tree cover which makes the reception very good. Comes summer, reception will change. Which means I should change the rating when the season changes? Difficulty 1 in winter, 1.5 in spring, 2 in summer and back to 1,5 in autumn. What I usaly saw on a cache page is the hidder saying that there might be poor reception so you can expect that.

If it takes anyone 4 times its obviously misrated. The definition for a 1 star difficulty is "Cache is in plain sight or location is fairly obvious." A cache in a rock wall with numerous places to hide it is not a 1 difficulty. Well, it didn't take my daughter 5 times but 5 minutes. It's me who wasn't looking right. This was one of my first cache wich explains the 4 visits and seeing where the cache was and looking at the Geocahing rating form, the rating was ok. But if the hidder had considered rating it for a novice like I was, yes maybe 1.5 would have been more appropiate. But now, is the difficulty rated for novice, average or experience cachers?

Don't know if you did but try reinstalling the driver that is on your CD just as if you were making a new installation.

Launch took place this morning. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4555298.stm

No problem here

I agree 100%

Not that I can see, but once you work with City Select, you find a bunch of reason to use it Any place you wanna go, any city in North America, just type in the address and off you go, right to the door step. It's just a question of wether you will use it or not I guess.

With metro guide, you will be able to do auto routing but only on major roads and highways. You will also be able to download maps in your GPS. You will be able to see detailed mapping of citys but you won't have auto routing inside the citys compared to City Select.

I wonder if by looking at the serial number, Garmin could find the owner!!!

Is this really true? I have read on this forum a couple of people say this, but talking to reps in stores and others on this forum I am hearing that the 60C has much better reception than the Ledgend C. In fact at my local sporting store I was told to stay away from the Ledgend C for use in a car or in the woods. Why would some say that the Ledgend C has better reception? Well I own both of them and use both, I do found that the legendC as a better reception but like I said "just a little" at least, that's my experience with both. As for the store telling you to stay away from the LegendC, I guess the sale person who told you that never used a GPS or all he's looking for is selling you a more expensive unit. Both units are very good units. If I was to keep only one, I wouldn't know which one I would keep. Edit: Never had any problems whatsoever with any of them in my car. And its in the woods that I noticed that my LegendC had a reception slightly stronger than my 60C. What can I say.....
