Depending on the degree of accuracy from the satellite reception I'm somewhere "close" except a couple of way off's that were in the 100's of feet and then we'll blame that on the hider. Thanks, Jim

Ok - this is how it's set up with one exception, my position format is actually listed as hddd.mm.mmm' I think this is the same since there is nothing else close and I do have the WSG84 datum.

I wonder if he became a Geo-nut after that!!! Someone was about to jump out of their car and hike to the top of a snow berm to find my nano (stuck to a stop sign) and juuuust as they reached for the door handle, a copper rolled by. They waited for him to leave before acting suspicious... like they were "up to something".... Wait a minute, stop signs are made of aluminum, magnets won't stick to them.

I am new to the world of Geocaching and I am having some trouble. Sorry if this is a duplicate topic but I searched and did not find anything related. I have a Garmin Etrex (original old yeller) and sometimes when I type in a coordinate I come right on top of the cache, the next time I might be looking 30' out in the river when the cache is 400' down river of where the Etrex says it is. Is there that much differance between units readings or is the Etrex just messed up? Is there some way to calibrate the unit? I don't have the money to replace the unit that I bought to assist in me in finding my way back out of some place I got into. I respond to natural disasters and assist survivors in recovery. I bought the Etrex to plug in a waypoint and then drive/walk into a disaster area and then use the Etrex go get back out. In most natural disasters all road signs are gone and navigation can be a nightmare. I did'ny need to find someplace, only my way back. The old girl has worked wonders for me in the past but not to well for gepcaching. Any suggestions?
