Thanks everyone. The link from Pup Patrol was especially helpful.

Thanks for all the very helpful suggestions, everyone. Now to sit down and do my homework !

Thanks for that information. When you say "a while", are we looking at 5 minutes, or much longer ?

Yes, we are inputting the co-ordinates manually, using the HU numbers, whereas the Spanish caches have co-ords preceded by UTM. However, they all have the N / W format, so we shall follow your suggestion and find out how to input those co-ords into the Etrex. (We've only ever used the OS letters, and in the UK.) Better try it out a few times here first, to make sure we can do it ! Thanks for your help.

We are new Geocachers, and are about to go on holiday to Andalucia, in Spain. We've been using an Etrex Garmin H, with the HU numbers, to cache in Scotland, but the Spanish sites have a different system. How easy is it to convert to their co-ordinates ?

As a newcomer to geocaching, I'm just finding my way round. I'm ok with logging "Found It", but the other day I had to log a "Needs Maintenance", and it didn't seem to register as a find. Do I need to then log it again as a "Found It " ?

Aha, that looks very useful - thanks a lot.

Well, that was easily sorted ! Hope the rest of the journey is as smooth - thank you .

Hi - I am a total newbie, having only looked for and found one cache so far. We used my husband's GPS, but having just got a smartphone, I'd like to be able to use that too. So I went to my account, where I was offered the "Add a Device" option. I have a Samsung Galaxy Fame (GTS6810P), for Android, and among dozens of Galaxy phones, it wasn't there. There seems to be no option to add it, so does that mean I can't use it for geocaching ?
