    I just got my 1st GPS, a eTrex Legend. I have been reading all I can about the GPS and saw "geocaching" looks like fun. Is there any Okanagan GPS/Geocaching clubs out there?

     

    We are from Kelowna and I am not aware of any clubs except the BC Geocaching Association. It focus is really in the lower Mainland though. Hopefully one day there will be one specifically for the Okanagan, the sport is still in its infancy here though. <_<

    That would be cool if they had an Okanagan site someday.

    We (My son and I) found our 1st cache on the 31st GCNYWT "River Channel Stroll" it was neat to see this "Legend" do it's stuff. We found the cache in about 2 minutes of getting to the GPS location. My son was quite impressed and so was I as to how it guided us to the spot. (GPS is all new to us). There are sure a lot of Caches in our area, I am logging them in my Palm Pilot for future explorations. :o

     

    Having a lot of fun with it. ;)

     

    Take care, talk to you later.

    Here's a list of software on the Geocaching.com website. There are others that are not specific to geocaching such as GPSTrackmaker (freeware) that will work with your Etrex too.

    Wow that was quick I had only posted that message a couple minutes ago, Cool! thanks for the responce I will check out the links. All this GPS stuff is new to me shouldn't take too long to figure this thing out I hope. :o

    Hello everyone,

    I just got my 1st GPS, a eTrex Legend. I have been reading all I can about the GPS and saw "geocaching" looks like fun. Is there any Okanagan GPS/Geocaching clubs out there?

     

    :o Question:

    Does anyone know about this cable that comes in the box. It didn't come with software. I thought it would atleast, come with a desktop type program so I could transfer my GPS info from the Legend to my CPU. Is there anything out there on the web I can use or is the cable only for Garmin Map programs?
