Hey congrats on the 200th find. Really just starting here in Va Beach. Wife and I found 3 yesterday. Again, Congrats. Go Navy

I have had no problems with my topo. Go Navy

Wondering if mine worked Go Navy

Found 3 today, our first day out together. Had a great time. Go Navy

I got the Windshield suction cup mount today but can't seem to get the Cig lighter power adapter attached. What am I doing wrong? Go Navy

Missed the first 2 caches. One dead, one well you know how that goes, couldn't find it YET. Found the 3rd one though. Good hunting. Go Navy

Scroll down and there are more items on the menu. Or you can scroll up and get to the bottom couple items. Go Navy

OK folks. First,thanks to all of you. I got my MreiPlat today. Got the Topo CD, case, batteries, SD card, reader. Updated the Firmware. Figured out how to put waypoints in, figured out how to put regions in. Only thing left to do is figured out what the GOTO does and tomorrow I am off to find the first cache. Go Navy Go Navy

Never mind, I just figured this one out. Go Navy

I can go to the cache page and download the gps info to Easy GPS. Then I can upload this to my MeriPlat through the serial cable. Can I transfer a waypoint to my SD card and then see it on my MeriPlat. Thanks for all your help. Wish there was a group here in Va Beach that we could get together and talk. Go Navy

OK brand newbie here. Tried searching to no avail so now I will ask. I draw a region on Mapsend Topo. Now how do I put that on the SD card and then find it on my NEW MeriPlat that I got today. Thanks Go Navy

Was working hard today and the FEDEX guy came and left a note. Didn't leave my MeriPlat. Will get it tomorrow and then go caching in the Virginia Beach snow on Saturday. Go Navy

Thanks to all who gave me input. Ordered the following tonight: From QVC (Had to the wife works there) Battery charger and 4 1800 mah batteries Carrying case 50.59 From Compuplus Meridian platinum $242 Mapsend Topo $67 Power cable with w/cig light adapter$18.95 352.19 Buy.com 64M Sandisk SD card $33.81 3 in 1 USB reader $24.57 So for $461.16 I now get to sit and wait a few days until I go find my first cache. Again Thanks for all the input. Really looking forward to learning how to use the Meriplat to find caches and then really getting off the beaten path when I go hunting and not having to worry about getting back. Go Navy

Where is the best place to buy a 32/64 meg card and a reader? Thanks Dave

Hi all Brand new to the board, I have been looking at caches in the Va Beach area and see this on the cache. Use Waypoint: GC48D6.... What exactly is the GC48D6 and how do I use it? Thanks Dave Dave

All I am brand new to GPS. I am looking into purchasing a hand held unit. I will be using it mainly for marking fishing spots/hunting spots. I am trying to decide between the new Garmin GPSMAP 76S and the Magellan Meridian Platinum. I know the Garmin hot spots will cover the main lake (GASTON) that I will be fishing. I don't know if magellans topo map will cover that lake or not. Thanks for the help Dave
