  1. Arriving back at my car after picking up a cache I had a cell phone call. I had my gps in one hand and bag of supplies in the other I put my gps on the top of my car and took the call during the call I got in the car and started to drive off. I was leaving a local University so I was going slow for about 4 blocks. When I went to hit the on ramp to the highway I heard the most horrible sound it was my GPS rolling off the top down the trunk and onto the ramp. As I looked out the mirror I saw it doing cartwheels down the ramp. I ran back about 50 yards to pick it up it was face down I cringed as I turned it over to look at the face, well it was flawless not a scratch on it just a couple on the top backside I guess the rubber saved it. I powered it back up and went to the next cache and it worked perfectly. Garmin makes a tough unit.

  2. OK it's talking now. I noticed during the search for the driver it was limited to the floppy or CD drive. I had to tick the search other location then point right at it and it went on fine. I'm now setting up EasyGPS to load some waypoints.

  3. It goes through the whole loading usb device looks for the driver then says Your device could not be loaded. I will keep playing with it. I just wanted to make sure that this driver works before spending more time.

     

    I wasn't able to find if the unit needed to be in any mode for recieving data. or just the startup screen is ok?

    Thanks for the replys

  4. I have downloaded hte driver for the usb after the install I plug in the gps and turn it on it goes through the search but cannot find the unit.

     

    Any clues on which driver works? or is the another sequence I should follow?

     

    Thanks

     

    I have the Legend CX

  5. GPS came today I loaded up some way points and we were off to finding 4 of them the last one a 10:45 at night in the woods it was fun.

     

    A question is there a trick or software for loading the waypoints into my GPSr "Legend CX" instead of hand entering them all?

     

    Thanks

  6. After stressing over getting the right GPSr I decided to get a Legend C just as I was looking for the best deal I came across the CX for 7.00 more and I met all the functions I wanted in the unit. Then what pops up is a 20.00 coupon from ebay that expired the 30th so I knocked it down another 20.00.

     

    I got the:

    Legend cx unit

    usb cable

    32mb SDcard

    Americas Recreational Routable Basemap with automatic routing capabilities.

     

    all for 210 shipped i hope I don't get flamed saying I should have done this or bought this or something. I'm just pumped to get my first unit.

  7. Let me understand one thing on mapping. Does that mean I can type in a address and it will take me there?

     

    GPSMAP 60

     

    Explorist 210? (no added card)

     

    Are these the two base units

     

    Although on this forum it seems Garmin is choice over all others.

  8. After looking around and doing alot of reading. I found a few features I believe would be rather useful other than just caching. Mapping, Expandable card are to of the most important ones.

     

    My question is do you guys use these features after the newness wears off and what is the starter GPS I can get these on.

     

    Thanks
