Wohoo! Is this still on? Are they still going to open up the lands again? I hope so. ----------- Bill Jeeps Only! http://www.jeepsonly.com ------------------------

We have two of these bad boys and have no problem with them. I mount one in my Jeep even. I haven't noticed radical jumpiness in accuracy. Heck, I'm only trying to get within 20 feet or so anyway and I can figure it out from there. We love the Venture - low cost, lots of features, high battery life, etc, etc. Here is how I mount it in my Jeep. This is with a softtop on so the only view of sky is from the windshield and the side window. I usually get 20 feet accuracy or better driving like this. ----------- Bill Jeeps Only! http://www.jeepsonly.com ------------------------ [This message was edited by JeepsOnly on July 28, 2002 at 11:18 AM.]

Suggestion: it would be great if on the search page there was a way to search for caches in an area that haven't been found. I know there seems to be a mad rush to be the first to find stuff and I might be willing to go out of my way to be the first. ----------- Bill Jeeps Only! http://www.jeepsonly.com ------------------------

Check out Wide World of Maps. They are a Phoenix-based store with tons of books and maps, etc. They have 2 actual stores and an online shop. I bet you could even call and ask - they seem very friendly. ----------- Bill Jeeps Only! http://www.jeepsonly.com ------------------------

Rehashing an old topic - Got to thinking about this because I have an HP Jornada and have a screen protector sheet over the glass to protect it from scratches. I simply cut one of my Jornada protectors to size for my eTrex Venture and it works great, although it makes it a little darker. Screen protectors are available at any office supply store. Not a new topic, I know, but I'm new here and this hasn't been discussed in 7 months. ----------- Bill Jeeps Only! http://www.jeepsonly.com ------------------------

Wow, cool - thanks for the link! ----------- Bill Jeeps Only! http://www.jeepsonly.com ------------------------

Just curious - how come you're not caching anymore? We've noticed a few people say this recently and are wondering if it gets old after a while or if there is another common reason. ----------- Bill Jeeps Only! http://www.jeepsonly.com ------------------------
