Bison Designs REI also sells them.

I hold my 76CS more or less horizontally 90% of the time and rarely lose signal except when under heavy tree cover.

There is no charge for the upgrade CD but there is a $75 charge for un unlock code to use it (unless you can talk Garmin into waiving the charge).

Yes. At least it does with my 76CS.

I actually had it working momentarily (Win98 via VPC6 / OSX 10.3.4) but it wouldn't work the next time I started up VPC. I haven't been able to get it to work since. Very frustrating!

Geo Leo has it right.

I also was able to get a free unlock for v6 (I bought v5 in early June). FWIW, the support tech told me that Garmin intended to offer an uddated version of City Select every 12 to 14 months.

We have this one in Minnesota that is restricted to a specific park. The owner got around the changing coordinates issue by making it a multi. The first cache, which never moves, contains the changing coordinates for the final. Whoever moves the final is responsible for updating the location in the first stage.

So the various cables I already have for my 76 (serial, cigarette lighter) etc. will work with the 76C or 76 CS, correct?

I believe I've read that they will/do indeed have a serial port. Correct? If so, will my serial and external power cables for my GPSMAP 76 work with these new units?

I posted this in last summer's tick thread: True story... Several years ago a co-worker brought in something he found on his carpet and didn't know what it was. We recognized it immediately as a gorged wood tick about the size of a grape. It was still alive so we kept it in a jar in our office to see what would happen. After several weeks, it proceeded to lay hundreds of eggs over a period of a few days days. After another month or so the eggs started to hatch into tiny tick larvae. As most of us were starting to get grossed out at this point, we began to consider destroying and disposing of the babies. A female co-worker was appalled at our talk, took the jar home and released the ticks in a vacant lot near her home!

I found my 500'th cache this weekend.

Veterans Park is a nice one.

The MNGCA has been working with the Minnesota DNR and we expect to have a new geocaching policy allowing caches within state parks very soon.

I hope to see a lot of you there tomorrow!

Always makes me think of pocket pool.

I've noticed this same person has logged several other finds in the area as "This Cache Should Be Archived" recently. It's obvious he/she doesn't realize what he/she is doing.

"I'm sorry for cutting down the tree your cache was hidden in."

"The maximum error for two different GPS units is the sum of the maximum errors like Brainsnat wrote, but what is the typical error?" The usual method for approximating the combined error in cases like this is to RSS (Root-Sum-Square) them. That is, to calculate the total error square the individual errors, add them, and take the square root of the result.
