Hi, I`m based in Boston, completely new, haven`t got much or any idea on how to get started, just purchased a second hand garmin etrex venture HC Gps and keen to get started. Any advice or hepl appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, Sorry, I`m in Lincolnshire, UK & no I havn`t seen the nifty video. I am fiddling around at the minute trying to use the Gps. can turn it on not much more than that at the minute, The previous owner was from a different part of the country, I presume he has still got maps on there I don`t know. I will have a good read of the instructions as did not know there were any base maps as you say. Any further help appreciated.

Hi everyone, I have just purchased a second hand garmin etrex venture HC but I hav`nt got a clue how or what to do to get started. I was having a chat with some people over christmas who search for geocaches & thought that sounds exciting as we like to go walking regularly & in various other parts of the country. My garmin arrived this morning, I have read the instuctions once but i`m stuck. Help required. How or where do you get the maps required to start? I don`t unfortunatly know anyone locally or freinds who go geocaching but I`mdead keen to go out this weekend & get started. Can anyone please help, I have tried to find out any info but not having much luck. Thanks to anyone who can advise.
