I am a newbie to GPS and Geochaching. I recently purchased an Ifinder H20c with Mapcreate 7. I feel foolish but I can't find the menu item where you enter a coordinates manually. I have found how do enter my present location or take my cursor to a spot and create a way point. But if I want to see where a Geocache is by entering coordinates manually, I can't find it that spot. I have found it once before but can't back to it. What I want to do is to manually iput coordinates such as: N 35° 47.716 W 078° 42.939 into my GPS. I assume that it is possible and I am just particularly dense. Thanks

The faster write speed is unneccessary for GPSs. Faster write speed disks can be an advantage in digital cameras that need to transfer a lot of data before the next photo is taken. GPSs read from the disk more than write to it. Thanks for that information. That is what I tho't, but I didn't know if I was missing something.

I am a newbie to GPS. I have a new H2C0 c. I am still waiting for my mapping software to show up (mapcreate 7). I have two questions about the SD memory cards. Is there any real reason for 1 gb cards over against 512 mb? That is, if I get 512 will I be kicking myself? For example can you put multiple map files on one card or is it more practical to have 1 map file for each card? Secondly, for GPS units is there any practical reason to get fast SD memory (66x or above) or does it not make any real difference in this application? I would appreciate help, I am about to buy some cards. Thanks for the help.
