Thank you for the help! Al

I want to obtain projection information for two known points. I know the location of both point A and point B and can calculate the distance between them but how to I obtain the direction and degrees from A to B? I am using a Garmin 60CSx and can project from one point by inputting the degrees and feet but don’t know how to work this backwards. There has to be a simple why to do this. I am finishing up a 6 part multi cache and this will be used to locate the final hide.

I am looking to purchase several preform containers but have not been able to find them available. Any suggestions on where I can find these at a reasonable price? Thanks

Believe your thinking of Roswell NM. Area 51 is about 75 miles, as the crow flys, from Las Vegas.

Canada’s oldest Protestant church, St Paul's Anglican, is probably Halifax’s best-known haunted building. The image of one of its parishioners, killed in the tragic 1917 Halifax explosion, is said to appear in one of the upper storey windows. Knock Knock Who's there? Mata! Mata who? Mata of life and death!

Nova Scotia is the largest processor of wild blueberries in the world and is the second largest producer on earth (2nd only to Maine). As Nova Scotia’s provincial berry the wild blueberry is also renowned for its health benefits having the highest levels of antioxidants of all fruits and vegetables. Knock Knock Who's there?

Nova Scotia has designated thirty-three Crown-owned areas as Wilderness Areas, consisting of about five percent of the provincial land-mass. The wilderness area designation means no mining or logging is allowed, but people are free to hunt, fish, hike, and camp as they have for generations Knock Knock Who's there? Leaf! Leaf who?

Wendel Young of Cole Harbour is the only hockey player in history to win the Memorial Cup (Kitchener - 1982), Calder Cup (Hershy - 1988), Stanley Cup (Pittsburgh -1991 & 1992) and the Turner Cup (Chicago - 1998). This goalie also won a Maritime Jr. A title with Cole Harbour. Knock Knock Who's there? Yule! Yule who? Yule never know unless you open the door!

Visitors entering Pugwash Nova Scotia were once greeted by roadside signs announcing that they were entering the "Home of the Thinkers," the signs have since been replaced by a newer slogan "World Famous for Peace". The switch was made in response to the 1995 awarding of the Nobel Prize to the International Pugwash conferences "for their efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics and in the longer run to eliminate such arms". Pugwash takes its name from the native Mi'kmaq word, "Pagweak," meaning "Deep Water," in reference to the deep harbour. Knock Knock Who's there? Burton! Burton who?

There are two high tides every day. The highest high tides are in the Bay of Fundy between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick on the east coast of Canada. Here the water level at high tide can be 14.5m (47ft) above that at low tide - that is nearly as high as a five storey house. Knock Knock Who's there? Denise! Denise who?

Eneloop batteries on sale at Thomas Distributing for $8.77 a four pack for either AA or AAA. I just purchased a charger from them, ordered it before noon and it was in my hands before noon the following day. I did not have to pay for express shipping either. http://thomasdistributing.com/shop/special...eoacdf5bpdv1pb7

Thanks for the input! I have ordered a copy of the Garmin Topo program.

Has anyone done business with ANTOnline? I see mixed reviews on the various sites and I am considering making a purchase of a Garmin Topo 2008 program from them. Any input would be appreciated. They have the best price and shipping that I have found. http://www.antonline.com/

I am looking to purchase the Garmin Topo maps but have a question regarding the download. How large of an area can I realistically expect to be able to load on a 2gb data card? I want to load both the topo maps and city navigator.

I have been thinking about replacing my old battery charger with a newer one that would discharge and condition batteries as well. After reading some of the posts here I called Thomas Distributing to discuss with them the differences between a Maha unit and the LaCross discussed earlier. They were the most helpful folks I could ever want to talk to. We talked about the units and I made the decision to go with the La Cross BC 900. I wanted to order it while on the phone but was told if I did it on line it would qualify for discounted shipping. Well I ordered yesterday just before noon and has been sitting on my desk since 11:35 conditioning my batteries. I did not opt for the express shipping. I will definitely use this company again. I could not ask for better service! http://thomasdistributing.com/index.htm

Yes, except you will have to use a converter software like GPSU to convert the .est file from S&T to a GPX file. S&T can't do it by itself. What is GPSU? Where can I find this?

I would like to move several addresses from streets and trips into my Garmin c340 using ponits of interest. Can I just save the S&T file as a gpx and then use the poi loader? Is it really that simple?

Bunganator, Your caching partner will be going to alot of changes depending on her prior life style. The very best source of information will be both her endocrinologist and diabetes educator. They will work with her to develop the best plan for her and her life style. If she is type 1 as you say she most likely is insulin dependent. If possible try to get her on the insulin pump if possible. I am on the pump and I have not had to take an injection, besides inserting the infusion set, for the past 4 years. The pump will allow you to adjust insulin intake (basal) to compensate for increased activity. So you don’t give up hope there are many diabetic athletes both past and present who made the necessary adjustments so they could/can continue the sports they love. To name a few: Boxer Smoking Joe Frazier. Curt Frazier of the Chicago Black Hawks and four members of the 2008 Team One Professional Cycling team (Joe Eldridge, Fabio Calabria, Tim Hargrave and Phil Southerland) all diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The hardest part is over in that she has been diagnosed and treatment has or will start soon. Far to many people go undignosed until it is to late.

I started reading this post earlier this morning while I was checking my glucose levels. As you can tell I am also a diabetic and enjoy geocaching for both exercise and as a hobby. You have received a lot of good information here and I can only add a little to what has already been said. I read where you can tell when your levels are going low, this is a good thing, I as well can tell, not everyone can, when my levels are going low and recommend you listen to what your body is telling you and not ignore it. I suffer infrequent lows but I also check my levels about 6 times a day. However, when I recommend that you keep your meter handy as well as a source of glucose. I always carry a tube of tablets or the liquid glucose with me at all times. When you feel yourself going low, treat the symptom and then take a reading. Note your activity level and how you felt when you first felt yourself going low. By doing this you can determine, by your symptoms, how low you are and be able to quickly treat it prior to a reading. You will also begin to see how your activity affects your symptoms. If I am on a mile or so I will check my levels at least once if not twice during the hike. I carry everything in a small backpack or one of the nylon sport packs. In addition to the meter and glucose I will carry a snack of an apple or similar item. I also carry a couple of granola bars with me as well as a bottle of water. Talk with your doctor or nurse educator to see if you require any specific items based on your condition as well. There was a question on what HbA1C was and this is the Hemoglobin A1c test or just A1C for short. This test provides your average glucose level for the prior rolling 3 months. This test, as has already been said, is not used for diagnosis but as a tool to monitor your overall “control” of diabetes. As long as your doctor agrees with your exercise plain to include geocaching and your emergency items you should be able to enjoy geocaching for a long time to come.

I use the Duracell 2650 mAh and have had no problems. I use a slow, 12 hour, charger and while I have never timed the use life I am not disappointed. I have not experienced any problems in the winter with the life but keep a second set with me at all times.
