Thanks dbly. I've managed to get hold of the drivers separately now instead of bundled with the MapSource software so as they are only 1.4 MB I've no problem storing them on my memory key. I'm keeping my fingers crossed now that I can find enough Internet cafés that will let me install the drivers I'm a bit puzzled how you go about deleting the driver after you've finished with it. I've been looking through my PC and can't find any reference to it in Add/Remove Programs or Device Manager (XP Pro). I can see where it is, it's in my system32 folder. I presume the reason why there is no reference to it in Add/Remove is due to it being installed along with MapSource. Am I right in presuming that if it is installed separately on a PC it becomes listed in Add/Remove or would I have to right click Delete grmnusb.sys from the PC? I'm considering selecting 15 mins. or more for GPS updates while on transport to just give an idea of road route and normal update period for detailed treks with time stamp photos, I then may be able to stretch it to transferring data every two weeks.

I'm shortly going to be making a six week journey through Turkey and Georgia doing a little Geocaching at the same time and would like to record my tracks on my Garmin GPS 60 so as to also synchronise then with time stamped photos taken along my journey. There is a problem with amount of data I can store on the unit though. From what I understand, if I set my GPS 60 to update at least frequent intervals it will start overwriting in around seven days and there will be times I want it to update more frequently. I thought I had found a solution by buying a memory key, installing a GPS data manager G7ToWin (which is portable) on it, then using Internet cafés on route to transfer data from GPS 60 to Flash Key. Unfortunately I overlooked one glaring problem which I only found out about when I tried the system on a friends PC last night; Garmin GPS 60 requires that you need its driver installed on a PC before you can download/upload data. So, although G7ToWin is portable and could be used in any Internet café the drivers are not and it would be extremely unlikely that any Internet café would allow you to install them. So, I'm looking for a solution for handling all this data while on the move for six weeks. A lap top would do it well, but, too bulky and heavy for back-packing. PDAs sound good, but, seem to be limited in memory size. Also from what I've gleamed the USB socket on PDAs is just for synchronising them with PC so I could not connect my Garmin to it via USB and would require a PDA with serial port connections too. I've seen some people mention Pocket PCs, but, not sure what the difference between PPC and PDA is. Well, there must be users that have solved this question one way or another. What are your solutions? I have about two and a half weeks to sort it out or else I am going to have to severely limit the number of tracks I make etc.

LOL...I thought it couldn't be a find Well, as it is located in the approximate direction I was intending to go when in Georgia I believe I may look for it. That is if the bandits don't get me first

I'm off on my travels in a few weeks and plan to do a little geocaching as I pass through Turkey on my way to Georgia. I find that in all of Georgia there is just one Geocache, Georgia On My Mind so plan to visit it. However, looking at the above page I am puzzled by the green icon on the only cache log, what does it mean? The name on the log is different to the name of the person who owns the cache and I'm finding it hard to believe that the log refers to a first find on the same day it was hidden and no more especially since he seems to have been the other side of the world at the time. It has to be something else, but, I cannot find any references to this icon. Am I reading it correctly and the cache is still unfound? Rob
