I just received my ArmorSuit Military Shield from Amazon. It was just under $10 and I'm putting it on today before any extensive use. I have a GizmoVest on order also. I set my user button for one press to toggle the screen on/off. I'm not sure if that is best, but it is easy. I like to hang my GPS from the pack strap and just let it hang if not in use. I figured I'm not looking at it then anyway. I'll see how that works. Congrats on the new 600 Chrysalides!

Just wasn't sure if there were any bugs with using these 2 methods or if one was more reliable than the other. I'm probably overthinking it, I can do that sometimes!

Anyone have any issues with using either of these options?

So which is better and what is the difference?

Thanks Chrysalides, the wiki looks good, I'll check out the openstreet maps. I had a copy of city nav standing by. Managed to install the U.S. portion to the units internal memory last night. I have the West 24k that I'm going to put on a microSD today along with about 3000 caches. Still learning about profiles and such. I think I like it!

Thanks to this thread I am now the proud owner of a new Oregon 600. I was at the Berkeley REI at 10:05 this morning and snagged the only 600 they had in stock! I wanted a 650 for the extra memory, but at this price I will make due with a large mIcro SD card for my maps. Thanks to everyone in this thread!

Thanks Chrysalides and mineral2 for your info! I will be watching for this sale, just might be a Birthday present to myself!

Do you know if the REI sale requires a coupon or code? I was planning on replacing my 60csx soon and this was one of the models I was considering. I'm not a member yet, but I was planning on joining and getting my new GPSr from REI due to their return policy. This would save me some $ to use for other gear. No coupon necessary for the Oregon 600. Anyone know if you need to be a member to get the sale price? Coupon code is FALLMEMBER for regular priced item, but you need to be a member. If you get it in store, you don't need the coupon code - they can check if you used the discount previously, and if not, they will apply it to your item. You may also want to watch GPSCity to see if they match REI's price for the Oregon 600. Thanks for that info! I forgot to ask one thing, does the REI one year return policy count for sale items? That was a prime reason for considering REI in case I don't find a problem till after the normal 30 day period. I know I could always send it to Garmin, but I've heard mixed feelings about their warranty work.

Actually, I logged out of Geocaching and then logged back in, now all is good. :huh: Thanks for being patient with me Tricia. When you don't do this for over 6 years you become a NewBe again!

Thanks Tricia! Wasn't sure if I had done all that was required to make this happen. I guess I just need to be patient, which isn't always one of my strengths!

Today was my first real day caching in a very long time. I am very out of practice! I was using my 60csx and my IPhone 5s using the geosphere app. I accidently posted found on one of the caches twice (GC550F8, SF Bay Trail: Squished at Pt. Isabel). I deleted one of the logs but my number of finds is still one higher than it should be. How should I ensure that the double find is corrected?
