  1. I had the issue with an eTrex, sent it in a week or two before warranty, it had a dead pixel as well, they sent me a replacement unit. They will repair it as well if out of warranty.
  2. Cachemate on my Treo and GSAK on my PC as well. There are a few other cachemate like applications but they do not compare...plus the seamless interface between GSAK and Cachemate is perfect.
  3. Check settings, is WAAS enabled? It isn't by default. I am in the pacific northwest and consistently get <6-m accuracy, most unobstructed areas I am 2-3m. I assume you are talking 'feet' as well vs me talking 'meters' but still you should be down to 6-9'.
  4. Same problem, sent it back, got a new unit in return, sold the unit, bought a 60CSx, haven't looked back......
  5. USMC 1988-1996 All MOS started with 03xx
  6. Ok, nevermind, I redid the .kml, it seems to have worked....
  7. I tried both last night and tonight to upload a .kml using the caches along a route feature. I have never had an issue prior to today using this feature. It simply will not upload either via Firefox or IE. I have tried several times, it allows me to browse to the file, select and click upload, and NADA. The only thing I have yet to do is try creating a new .kml Any known issues with the feature anyone know about????
  8. You can'e anymore. Since you have a mere 9 finds, it would be easier to register as a new user with your new name and relog your finds. That is the advice I have seen given to such requests in the last few months since you can no longer change your user name.
  9. P.S. It was the .44 Magnum back then and in the movie, not the .357 and that doesn't stand true today as I would place my money on the .454 Casull
  10. I keep all cache pages on my Palm TT2 with Cachemate, several databases for different areas that I frequent. I use GSAK to manage my caches. I log finds with cachemate but I also make a paper copy in one of the small but thick spiral note books, (4" x 5"), fits nicely in my cargo pocket with a pen in the spiral, about an inch thick. I have a small pocket in the book that I keep my stickers in ( for 'signing' logs) and it is much easier to add notes, do puzzles, keep track of off sets etc using the notebook vs. cachemate. I usually log finds etc on gc.com using mainly my notebook. I usually have my laptop in the truck for longer trips.
  11. Yeah, I found it, downloaded it and now have to try it, thanks for the help!
  12. I have a Garmin eTRex Legend C, have no issues with it's funtions etc, I am comfortable with all of it. I also have MapSource MetroGuide North America v6, and MetroGuide Canada v4 on my laptop. I am under the impresson by the literature that I can use my GPSr attached to my laptop to provide realtime navigation on my laptop screen within Mapsource. I see on some screenshots that Mapsource has a GPS tap but I don't see that on my version of MapSource. I am running MapSource v6.10.2 beta which is the latest. Any help is welcome!!
  13. I found that wearing cycling shoes while scrambling over rocks and such is pretty much silly, you are just opening yourself up to slipping, spraining or breaking an ankle. I have found that I carry a pair of trail running shoes or light hikers in my back pack and if I have to navigate any questionable terrain, I change them out. You are right, once you cycle with cycling shoes, you will never go back, and they suck if you need to walk on big rocks or any distance.
  14. Or, print off the large on, enlarge it, make a stencil (x-acto out the black) and you have a spray paintable stencil!!
  15. When I hide these, I use a piece of tyvek paper (water proof) and put a URL of a web page that I create for that cache. Then to log it, they have to collect the URL, click the email link from that page in order to get credit for the find.
  16. Have you ever lost a wife while geocaching? I could be so lucky....
  17. I've done it too, several times... the one fortunate thing is that you have a reasonably accurate way to retrace your steps I just did it again today again. I usually put it in a zippered pocket everytime I get out to cache now....
  18. I just found one a week or so ago, popped it in a cache I recently hid, seems the site is down so I cannot post a link, but search out "Gram", he is starting a drive accross Canada I think..
  19. Here's one of mine that I am proud of The Delta Heritage Cache - Ladner
  20. That's because you haven't changed it. Your not reading what I wrote, my profile page doen not say TADPOLE.....it says Premium MEmber, but here it says Tadpole,....it really doesn't make that much differnece to me, heck I'll get the min req posts just in this thread!! LOL What Prime Suspect means is that if you go to yor profile page and change your Forum Title to something *other than* "Premium Member" (and then re-enter the forum thru the Geocaching.com site so that it updates), it will display your new forum title even before you have 10 posts. Gotcha, it did... something to be said for clear, consise instructions!
  21. I would have, but I try and not support PP....

  24. I beg to differ about this, I am a tadpole apparently, a relatively new cacher (found 47, hidden 4 with 2 waiting approval since I started mid-Jan 06) AND a Premium Member, yet my lable is tadpole, so it must be based on posts alone. I don't really care as I am a lurker and reader more so than a poster, I am not by far even close to being able to disperse information but a newbie learning, and like to research my questions before posting. Post counts in my experience mean nothing, it's what and how you share that makes it worth anything!! From a lowly tadpole!! Ah! Since you are a Premium Member, you can change your title under your name to anything you want. Just go to your account page and you can change it. On my profile page or account page, where it says Forums Title, it says Permium Member, but on here it still says Tadpole!
  25. I paid directly via the store link it took 2-3 days, seem like that should be the most expedient way vs. crappy PayPal.....
