  1. I have found the map on the 62, It was listed as "OSM generic routable": thats why I couldn't find it (thats not the name I gave it). Is there any way of knowing whether the map I chose/viewed was on the Micro SD card or internal memory? Also I renamed the files that I imported to the 62 and that name does not appear under the map selection (thats confusing) menu on the device. How do you know what map to use if it won't allow recognizable naming?
  2. I'm not lucking out... I have tried adding a map to both the built in memory and Micro SD card memory with no luck (map from OpenStreetMap) the 62 does not appear to recognize the map in either location. I unzipped the map and placed it in what I thought were the appropriate place(s). I have also tried multiple naming conventions. When I unzipped the download it did show as a Disc Image File: is this what i'm looking for? I have tried to show a screenshot of the files on both the internal and Micro SD cards below.
  3. Thanks alandb for the advice. I'll give it a shot with some of you examples. I should be getting (request sent) a map from OpenStreetMap shortly which I will try and load. Fingers crossed.
  4. I got all hot to trot and purchased a Garmin GPSmap 62s. I have been able to load geocache locations from my pocket queries with no problem to the devices internal memory. Everything appears to be working ok (I find the menus a little tough to use though!). I recently purchased a Micro SD card for it (SanDisk Ultra class 10 8GB. Now I'm a little bit lost on how I can use the card to my advantage. 1. Can I load Geocache locations directly to the card? If so, does the device automatically know to look on the card for the locations? 2. I have not loaded any other maps to the device. Are these appropriate to place on the card? If so whats the best (idiot proof) procedure on loading maps? 3. In general Im not sure on how the GPSr knows how to access the internal memory vs.card memory. Thanks for the advice,

  6. TriciaG, Thanks for your response. Your answers do help.
  7. Hi, Thanks in advance for the help. I just started Geocaching about 10 days ago and have a few questions. I want to do things correctly and ethical from the start. So here goes. 1. I went caching with my wife (she is a member here at Geocaching.com); When finding a cache does one of us log it or can both of us log it as a find and sign the log sheet? (we rotated that day 1 for her than 1 for me). 2. Is the signing of logs and subsequent logging of the find on this site done on the honor system? Or does the cache hider verify the names on the log sheet somehow. 3. I've noticed on some of the few log sheets that I have seen that peoples signatures/names/dates are illegible. Is this a big deal? 4. If you find a cache and there is no log sheet or the log sheet is unable to be written on (wet/damaged/etc.) can you still log it as a find? Thanks and enjoy the spring, BabaluDaMan
