Gah! I don't believe it... Was just fiddling with the GPS unit, and I found out how to switch on the third decimal place. Oh well, there goes my excuse to buy a new GPS unit... Lets go geocaching... Simon

Errr, me? Well, it says I'm currently at 30 645677E, 5695916N if I switch it to UTM Yeah, there's a couple around where I live which I was going to try tomorrow to get started with. I'll probably order something like a eTrex Venture off ebay (as I can get for for the same price I can get a basic eTrex in the local shops) Many thanks, Simon

I've got an old GPS unit - Magellan GPS 2000 XL - which I've had for 8 or 9 years (but rarely used). I'm just about to have a start at geocaching, and was wondering if this unit would be suitable. The biggest problem I've noticed is that it only has 2 decimal places for the minutes (i.e. it shows 53' 00.00N). Is this going to make it too inaccurate for geocaching? Thanks, Simon
