    We tried 3 different cables and 2 different computers.

    I guess I’ll call Garmin.

    I’ve had this unit 1yr and 2 months.

    I discovered I could load POI to the microcard with my card reader. So I can use it this way. Not as easy as loading the waypoints by the computer but better than nothing.

    Thanks everyone.

    I love all the beautiful pictures.

    I can’t wait to take Duke out geocaching.

    Duke is being treated for Heartworms.

    The Humane Society offered to take him back.

    But we couldn’t do that. So we’re having him treated.

    Our vet said we could take him out on walks and hikes in 3 more weeks.

    By the end of February we hope to start geocaching with Duke.

    I’m working on making bandanas, and getting his gear together.

    Thanks for all the help and posting the pictures.

    Geocaching Purple Heart

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    With the mass of creative minds in these forums, why not call it something clever that is Geocaching related?
    How about 'Geocaching purple heart'?
    I don't care for it being called anything purple heart. My opinion, but none the less, people will do what they will. I see nothing wrong with the concept, just don't know why it has to be military formed.
    Does it really have to be a take off of a highly respected military award for members of the armed services who were wounded in combat? I seriously doubt there would be many complaints at all if it had nothigng to do with the military at all.
    I find it interesting how much my view is different from yours. You see, when I read 'Geocaching Purple Heart', I immediately knew exactly what we were talking about. At the same time, it reminded me of my Brothers who have been injured or killed in service to my country. The two ideas did not clash.

    *It often appears, and once again my opinion, that people who have never served tend to relish in the idea of playing soldier. To this extent they create icons, awards, and even further compare things in normal life to that of combat soliders who have real risks. On some levels it almost cheapens the image of the real soldiers and what they are doing. If it is taken for granted then people start thinking they are just playing war games. Why do these two things need to be paralled at all is something that I will never understand. There are other options and better ways to pay our respects.

     

    I liked the camo heart with a band aid on it. Seems enough to me, but am sure others will disagree, and that's fine.

     

    *This was not directed at sbell111 or anyone else. It is merely my opinion and was a fitting place to voice this.

     

    I agree with pghlooking. Out of respect for our military it should be something else.
