Most of the time is's within half an hour worst case a few hours.
If you want maps right away just select the country maps and download the files directly without waiting.
Tried to download direct but got an error and directed to provide email addy and await files. Thanks for info.

OpenStreetMap doesn't provide maps for Garmins, so I'm guessing you're probably referring to garmin.openstreetmap.nl. That site currently has some issues and isn't working. This site has a list of others who make maps for Garmins using OSM data. While I haven't used it myself, I've heard good things about BBBike.org.
Yes, thanks , it was garmin. openstreetmap and now see it si having further server problems at the moment. Will check you recommendation(s)

Also heading to Europe in May and have submitted 2 requests to Openstreetmap over the last month, including manuals builds of 4 cities. Any feedback regarding timeframe for map builds to arrive?
May have to invest in City Navigator

Hope this tags. Was a thumbnail in original post.
Here is a shot of Websters Falls in Dundas, Ontario (close to Hamilton). There are over 100 waterfalls in Hamilton.
Within walking distance is Toews Falls. Both of these locations have nearby caches.
The image didn't display correctly. We have over 100 waterfalls within 10 miles of Ithaca. I posted a photo of Ithaca falls in the first post on the thread. Here's another waterfall that's about 9 miles from town. There's a earth cache located here:

I'll 2nd the comment above by Tugman and Wifey!
Sure, there are always steps and ways to obtain the same data, but a one click link on My Account page was convenient and useful.

I am looking to buy a Garmin 60Csx, 60cx or possibly other 60C series GPSr in good working condition. Actually hoping to spend closer to $150. It doesn't have to be completely immaculate, but it needs to have a good screen. If you have something like this you are willing to sell (or possibly trade in the Orlando Florida area) Please let me know.

Hi,
I'm from New Zealand. I have a travel bug (Espresso the Pig) in the hands of the CanadianMonkeys who have had it for nearly 12 months. I have had unsuccessful attempts of sending emails with no reply. Is there anyone here that personally knows these cachers and could ask them to please move my travel bug on?
Can't help much other than to empathize with you. I recieved a trackable coin as a BDay gift. Took it to the far west coast of BCand wanted to see it travel the country and beyond. It made it 98km before someone took it and kept it. As with you, 3 emails went unanswered. They joined GSpeak in July 07 and and only lasted 3 weeks. Only advice I got was to suck it up and to tag it as stolen. Best of luck to you to not have to do the same.

You're right, it's a free country and you can ask any price you want. And anyone else is free to haggle or point and laugh, as they see fit
I'll have to agree with Lee, I've done it myself more then once
Sure...poke fun all you like. But drawing attention to what someone paid for something has nothing to do with how much they are (trying) to sell it for. As for "haggling" ..maybe refer to the posting guidelines below
Individual negotiationsor information exchanges should take place through private e-mail or telephone correspondence, not on this board.

I'm not sure why you guys are trying to spoil his party. Last I remembered, this country still operates on a free enterprise, free market system, (at least for a little longer, current political leadership might alter that, but this is not a forum for political discussions). So what if he purchased it for a really, really good price? It is his right to sell it for whatever the market will allow. If he makes a few bucks, then good for him. That's how our "system" works right now.
Personally, I think his price is too high. You can purchase a brand new one for his asking price. However, if it were about fifty bucks lower, and he posted pictures of it, and it has been used as little as he says, and if I saw the ad two weeks ago . . . I would have purchased his once-used CSx instead of the new Cx that I did, (from Amazon, by the way).
Leave him be. He's entitled to sell his unit for whatever he can get for it, even if it is more than he paid.
Ditto! I received a unit as a gift. According to Lee Rimar, I should list it as free?? Maybe you are taking the forum name "Garage Sale too literally?" Last I looked, any product is worth as only much as someone is willing to pay for it. I wouldn't pay his asking nor would I wouldn't pay $350 for a rare LP from 1982,...but someone might. If no one wants this item, then it will go unsold or prompt the owner to adjust.
Do some people have nothing better to do with their time?

Garmin is offering a life time of map up-dates for $119. Sounds good to me. Comments?
I purchased the lifetime about 6 weeks ago. Considering up to 4 updates per year, it paid for itself on the first update based POI's and new roadways after 18 mos of no new software. If you weigh the option of $79 for 1 download, the lifetime is well worth it.
FYI, I had a laptop crash and phoned Garmin to get the download again. They activated my map update for 5 days enabling me install the 09 version on 2 laptops and my desktop.

I just built one off of greathides and it works great!!
I also built the one off great hides, but found that the small T at the end kept getting broken off by the people who tried it. After 3 times rebuilding it, I finally had enough. If there was someway to fabricate it from metal so it would not break, it would be better.
I might suggest using copper pieces for part #11 ( Tee) At the risk of plugging a product, to join the Tee to a plastic part #10, try The Last Glue out of Oakville. Perfect for these noncompatible materials.

I emailed them through geocaching .com in Oct or Nov and did not get a reply.
When you sent them a mail, did you check "I want to send my email address along with this message."? Some mail-providers mark these mails as spam and sort them out. Try sending another mail without this field checked and write your adress in the text.
Didn't consider junkmail routing... Thanks for suggestion.

It happens. If they are newbies, chances are that they aren't as excited about caching and it may be a few months before they get out again (if ever). If they really were out to take the coin to put it in to a collection they probably wouldn't have logged it as retrieving the coin.
Once a year I go through and check my travelers and send an email to anyone who's picked up a coin or bug but hasn't dropped it within two months. Of the seven that I sent out this past fall, two responded that they still had it and apologized and explained family situations that prevented them from getting out.
I've got some coins that travel a lot and some that go missing on their first time out.
My advice ... send more coins out. The more that you have out, the less you worry about one or two.
I agree on the newbie statement....and I don't think they would purposely hoard or collect the coin. Just mistakenly collect it. I would hope that if the interest died off a bit ( 5 mos. idle) they might drop the coin in a local cache.
I will try to email again and avoid spam possibilty as suggested...thanks

So far I've just let stray coins run around without comment....one coin I released was picked up in May in NC and then dropped on in Minnesota in December!
dflye's Wildlife Muggles Bucky Beaver GeocoinThings come up, priorities change, coins are misplaced or dropped without being logged. Heck, last year I had an almost 4 month cache-or-more-a-day streak followed up not too much later by about a 2 month break.
The coin may turn up, ya never know!
Thanks for optimism. My fear is that if they haven't logged on to site since Aug, they may no longer be actively caching.

Any help, advise or similar problem anyone?
Last April I received a Geocoin for my BDay. Waiting for a good chance to drop it, I waited for a trip to Victoria BC in July and was eager to track its travel. It was picked up once or twice soon after, but has moved only 98km. The problem is that, the cacher who picked up my coin in August still have it in their posession.
They joined geocaching.com in July and havent visited the site since Aug 19!! I emailed them through geocaching .com in Oct or Nov and did not get a reply. Their log states they were excited to pick up the coin..... but I fear they think it is to collect and not to drop off. Unless the site's data is incorrect, this cacher hasn't even been caching since Aug. -
I had a brief chat with a young trooper when I was out for a cpl of finds in New Hampshire in Jan. He pulled up with lights flashing as dog walking muggles just left. I had to quickly restash the cache and scramble back to my (out of state rental) car. The Fort parking lot was closed and I parked in the wrong spot. As I approached him he told me he was just about to write a ticket. I told him I was just in for a quick "geocach" and was prepared to explain it. He didn't ask for details...just wanted to slap my wrist. I talked my way out of the ticket and actually asked for directions to the next cache. Followed him out, and down the road. Luckily that park had a big lot.
If you want a good read on police and stumbling across something..check this log!

Although my kids say I act like a 15 yr old, but I will be 45 in April. My kids sometimes cache with me and they are 16 and 11.

Thanks to all for the feedback so far. It seems this isn't as straight forward as I thought it might be.
So for now.....as most of the other icons describe access to the area or other area features (pets allowed, 24/7) I will lean towards winter accessible to mean the property or cache area is open in winter.
Glad to read a few see my point on the initial question... winter accessible doesn't by default mean winter friendly. I can understand the owners don't want a statement of winter friendly to lead to a presumption of "in a tree" or "off the ground". But, although I tend to wander in the snow so any direct tracks are not a spoiler...digging out 12" of snow in a 4 ft circle sure takes care of that.
Maybe a more precise definition of the attribute icon would help. It seems like most things...it is a matter of translation, if not debate.
Half the fun is learning as you go! Thanks
