i have a 210 and a 60cx and the accuracy is far better on the magellan because of the 14 channels instead of 12 but i am selling the package. High sensitivity not much a problem. but if you want maps get a magellan the maps are far cheaper and with mapsend topo 3d you get roads and topo for less than $100 compared to buying both the programs from garmin for about $180.

check with your local schools some may let you use them some wont all depends if the teacher has control over them or the school.

i use a car charger for my 60cx its much cheeper i got mine for free.

the program doesnt want to work on my windows 98. is there a problem or is it my system

I am also in the market for a GPS. How old is your unit and why are you selling? my unit is about a year old i am selling it because i bought a 60cxif you are intrested i can find some pics it might take a while to get them here but ill try.

explorist 210 package including 210 gps, case, car power cable, usb cable, mapsend topo 3d usa, mapsend lite geocache software and 210 cd. selling for $150 shipping negotiable.

i am selling an explorist 210 in very good condition. just a feew normal small scratches on the screen nothing harmful. now its not just the gps but it includes pc cable, car adapter, mapsend topo 3d usa, geocache software, mapsend lite, 210 gps and case. because its a kit i will sell it at $150 pretty firm on the price but shipping is negotiable.

Motorcycle_Mama you are really helpful. Now lets try to unzip this file.

LOL yes, I get that a lot. Thank you. Do you have any idea what program I should open it with?

i will sell you my 210 package for $160 can be viewed at REI.com search 210 bundle. PM me for more details.

it doesnt display the open with option it could be somthing to do with im on windows 98 but i have seen the open with option has been there in the past.

ok ive been trying to open this thing for months but cant do it. every time i try to open it it trys opening the zip file with mapsoarce along with anything else i download off line. so my question is how do i stop everything that i download from using mapsoarce to open it. its really pissing me off. if anyone even has a clue on how to stop this i will be so greatful.

that Waymarking site is so confusing but my reason for this is because i think it would be cool to have it as part of your geocaching stats instead of having 2 sets plus i have some molded metal disks i made and i thought it would be cool if these were benchmarks.

i have a 210 and a 60cx and the 210 gets signifacantly better accuracy due to magellans 14 channels compared to garmins 12

what if we could make personal benchmarks for geocaching? you know a new cache type but you can show off your personal artwork or creation. benchmarks are often placed at important places what if we put our own benchmarks at our favorite places? does anyone like this idea or am i just going crazy.

we have an old bomb facility owned by the army a couple miles from my house but ramsey county parks bought a small section from the army as a wild life viewing area and an archery range so they put 2 caches in those designated areas. it would make a huge and great park if the army released the land to the community but thes toxic waste in the ground that they are still cleaning out.

i know MN has this store i think it is mainly in the midwest but fleet farm has 50 cals $5 a piece

well there is the dog park (k9 cache) but i must recommend the geocache in the mall of america if you have time no gps is required but its sordof like a puzzle. but watch out the caches around the airport can get a little rough on terain because of the river nearby

well i was watching TV yesterday here in minneapolis and a commercial came on showing shots of the explorist line of GPS' then it Talked about a treasure hunt so i thought i better check it out so i did well what i found out was REI and Magellan are sponsoring an event which involves using gps cordinates to find a cache with coins in it anyway you take a coin type in the code and see if you win one of the fabulous prize packs which include Gpsrs! note this is an event in minneapolis area. heres the link www.montanatreasuretrek.com i hope i didnt go against forum rules by posting this, if i did please do tell me.

the walmart near me is selling explorist 100's for $60! now thats un heard of

try froogle its not always that way though i got my magellan 210 from REI as a package that included gps, car charger, usb cable, topo, case, mapsend lite for $140 on sale now it costs 200

I do not think you can convert from Magellan to Garmin. The .imgs are different. As for the usgs site are you using the new IE? I have heard of a lot of people having problems with it. Try firefox. i dont have the new IE im running on windows 98 which could be part of the problem and the dial up is a problem im sure

is there a way i can just convert my magellan region to a format i can use on my garmin gpsmap 60cx? if so can you tell me how right now its a .rgn file. can someone here send me a sample of thier map if possible? i want to see one. im still stuck on getting the info from the usgs site it wont let me see the map.

i had the same problem its not your gps thats behind its ,magellans software thats behind. so heres what you do, select the region hit send to gps it will ask if you want to store it on hard drive, hit yes. once saved right click on start and hit search. search through your computer for whaterver you named the region and you should find the program next copy and paste the program into your gps under detailed maps. if you cant acess the map go to mapsent manager and try to work with it there. if you need more help drop me a PM

well a map is still good while geocaching i started with an explorist 100 and those just dont do the job. this is because it didnt have a data port which help a lot. without one you have to type each coordinate in by hand. so i will recommend an explorist 210. its black and white but has a map and a nice geocache setup. plus its a magellan you can get them for a pretty good price just go to froogle.com and see what you can find
