Roaming Empire

I have a 210 and I have almost 400 geocache locations downloaded on it now. My downloads consist of 13 files ( named 1-13 ) with each file holding 30 caches or two pages of a cache index from geocache.com.. I can display 30 caches at a time on the map and with a few clicks display 30 different. I have heard that it is only suppose to hold 200, but I know from my experience, that that number is wrong.

A TB Jeep ( which is rare in this area ) has landed itself in a local cache that I found a few weeks ago! I have never revisited another owners cache. I found this thread while searching for proper procedure and or permission to revisit. Thanks for all the postings as they have helped this rookie!!!

I have a 210 also, what I will do when my #'s don't seem right, is walk about 50 feet away, and redo my goto location. I reselect the cache location as a goto and it normally works.

How about battery consumption? do color screens eat more batteries?

Try clicking on the "view map" hyperlink on the left of the mini map directly below the Title and coordinates at the top of the page on any particular cache. Once a new page loads, an option should appear to " View results in Google Maps (beta)". Click on this Hyperlink and you can play around with the Google map.

One of the reasons that I have been discouraged to purchase a color screened GPS unit is, the experience that I had going from the old black lcd screen cel-phones to the color phones. The color phones have way cooler features, but get them out in direct sunlight, and the screens visibility drops to near zero. If I did my Geocaching at night, this would be no problem, but my caching is during the day. I have never used a color gps unit, nor have seen one in operation. Are there similar problems in the field with the new color GPS units verses the old black lcd screened units?
