David, thank you so much for the followup and your efforts on our behalf. Yes, my firmware is v1.12. I updated it before my first use of the unit. Please note that I updated my original post. Although the 110 doesn't close in on Ground Zero as well as I had hoped because of the freezing/jumping, it still is a great little receiver! The 110 allows me to do paperless caching, a HUGE plus! It gets me close to the cache, battery life is excellent, it's easy to carry and fairly simple to use.

its not that its a bad gps...it seems if you move in a line or slow turns toward something it is fine. the problem im having is turning around/sharp turn and then another turn right after that sort of thing...like today it took me within 50 ft of the cache (accuracy was 25 ft) and 50 ft is close enough to where i can look at distance to waypoint and my direction to figure out where the cache is, but me being me this is a new gps and i wanted it to zero me in, every correction i made to get zeroed in put me farther away or in the wrong direction. the arrow kept jumping around and it wouldnt update my position very well (updated every 15 feet id say) i dnt think i will have a problem finding caches, i just thought it would b more accurate in finesse work...im thinking about buying a etrex 20(i have 30 days to return this 110) but i like the way this 110 is set up... i had also set it to beep at distance to waypoint at 30 ft (or something like that) and the past 2 caches where i tried finesse work and failed i ended up looking for it myself but the thing went off ten ft from the cache both times (it was swinging on a lanyard around my neck) i dont know how to explain that I just got off of the phone with the National Product Rep. at Magellan concerning the problems with the eX110 and he wants to know if all of you have installed the latest v1.12 firmware for the unit. Please understand that this isn't be put forward as a fix for the problem, becauses he is wondering if there was a bug introduced with the v1.12 release that wasn't caught in testing.

I too am having the freezing/jumping problem with the 110. Yesterday I visited a cache and the 110 took me right to it! That was my first find with this receiver and I was delighted! Today I took my wife back to that same cache so she could see how to use the 110. Today the 110 took us every which way except to the cache! We visited another cache but could not find it - the 110 looked like the cache was moving from one side of the trail to the other. It's beginning to appear that the only advantages the 110 gives me over my TomTom car GPS receiver are that the 110 is easier to carry and the batteries last longer. Sounds like the electronic compass of the higher priced models might be needed. Unfortunately I can't afford one of those units just now. Hopefully the problem is user error as I'm still trying to learn how to use it. But entries in this forum aren't too encouraging. On further thought, I was a bit too harsh on the 110 in my comments above. In fact, the 110 is head and shoulders better than the TomTom for Geocaching. Although the 110 doesn't zero me into Ground Zero much better than the TT, the 110 allows me to do paperless caching, a HUGE plus! It gets me close to the cache, battery life is excellent, it's easy to carry and fairly simple to use. Those are the important things.
