This is going to be a GREAT event...the folks heading this up are well versed in event planning. Be sure to attend!

I started with an eTrex Yellow, upgraded to an eTrex Legend and now after reading this, and seriously considering upgrading to one of the new C models...I've found lots of caches...and usually only had problems in the thickest of tree cover. Sometimes it also happens to be where the sats are positioned, doesn't it?

I want to take a coordinate, for example "N 42 19.28 W092 08.81" plug it into the MapQuest page, but I can't seem to get the numbers in correctly - it always gives me an error. Help! I have a list of approximatetly 30 coordinates to map!

Since my yellow Garmin etrex doesn't have waypoint averaging, I need to know the best way to put the coordinates down for a new cache. I mean, do you walk up to the cache site 10 times, write down the coordinates each time and then do an average? (Do those degrees, minutes, and seconds add up and divide just like a "regular average"???) I want my cache coordinates to be accurate, but I also want to get it done as easily as possible. Thanks!
