[Interior Announces Final Firearms Policy Update]

Great news indeed! Now law-abiding citizens can carry, just like the criminals who never concerned themselves with the law!

[New to geocaching, need an inexpensive GPS]

Get the etrex Legend HCx or the Vista HCx from Amazon and get free shipping. Either are great units to have.

[After HEAVY research on GPS ... Im willing to pay $350 for a barebones GPS!?]

I think the forerunner will be great for your fitness goals, but I don't see how it will be very useful for geocaching. I'd buy the bottom of the line forerunner for $100 and spend the rest on a Etrex Legend HCx or Vista HCx and spend the same amount of money.

[Silly Garmin POI Tricks]

I just want to thank the OP and those who added more tidbits, this has been a great thread for me. I now have several POI files for local caches and those for a trip.

 

I have learned a bunch from this and other great threads on the website and wanted to just say Thanks!

[Occupations]

US Navy Helicopter Pilot

[Does Geocaching Violate Leave Not Trace.]

I stopped reading their magazine when they devoted an entire issue to Global Whining (I mean Warming)!

 

I'm glad I'm not the only person who was annoyed by that issue.

 

You were not the only one, that issue made my blood boil!!!

[eTrex Legend HCx]

I just got mine from one of the Amazon stores for under $200, shipped.

[redirect MapSource from CD to hard drive for maps]

Thanks for the link, I just did the regedit. Now I can hide my expensive topo disks from my 4 year old before he destroys them!

[Can you load both City Navigator and Topo maps on a Garmin Legend HCX?]

Hope someone knows if this is possible.

 

I have a Garmin Legend HCX with a 2 GB MicroSD card. I want to load both the City Navigator and Topo maps on the unit and be able to switch back and forth between them. Is this possible.

 

Thanks!

[Where did you first hear about geocaching?]

I was getting ready for a short hike with my son on vacation in CO. My cousin (a local, big hiker, mountain rescue etc.) threw me his yellow Garmin etrex. I enjoyed playing with it so much I went out and bought an E-trex Legend.

 

After buying a handheld GPS, figured I'd better figure out some more stuff to do with it!

[Any websites for trail tracks?]

I used this one a lot when I was in VA. Hiking in VA and WVA

 

Great maps, routes, downloadable waypoints, elevation and pics.

 

I wish someone would make one for Florida!
