[Gps Advice]

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

[Why Do The Co-ordinates Not Work?]

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!

[Looking For Ottawa Geocachers]

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
