Hi, I'm new to geocaching and borrowed my buddy's Garmin 60CS for my first few finds. I gave it back to him and now am in the market for a GPS. Only problem is, I don't feel like spending a mint on a GPS. I don't really need one with all the bells and whistles. I'm looking to spend no more than $200 Can. on one. Any suggestions folks? Thanks

Hi, I just started geo caching today. At first, when I would enter the co-ordinates into my gps, they wouldn't be accurate (at least a km off). Finally, I started clicking on the "convert in jeeep" link and those co-ordinates work. Why is that and is there a way around that? Also, google earth is invaluable for this activity!

Hi, My name's Alex Hebert and I'm a reporter for the Ottawa Sun. I'm writing a feature on geocaching and need Ottawa area geocachers to interview. If you're willing to have a chat with me, you can e-mail me at alexander.hebert@gmail.com I'd leave you my phone number but I don't like posting it on a forum. I had never heard of geocaching until my editor assigned me the story. I decided to, as a newbie, try to find as many caches in Ottawa in one day as I could. It turns out, I found five (looked for six but couldn't find the one under the bank street bridge) and I think this will be a hobby that I keep doing after the story. Also, could anyone tell me how you log the caches you've found? I can't see anywhere to do that. Anyways, I would greatly appreciate it if some of you would be willing to talk to me. Thanks, Alex
