Just a reminder to be safe while hunting.... Here's a little test. Can you spot the snake in this photo? Here's the snake outlined in the same photo.

Newbie Frankj3 here.........11 finds......kind of on hold with back problems. I have an Extrex legend (the old black & white version) and I want to install a mapping program. Trouble is I don't know which program to buy...if there is still any out there for this unit.....topo or city streets? My unit works fine but I'd like more detail when caching or traveling. I have the cable connected to my PC and it works fine. No problems when when downloading waypoints with EasyGPS. I run XP Home Edition on my pc. Any suggestions on software and where to buy it would be most appreciated. Frankj3

When I input my home address in Google Earth, it finds my street OK but lists my home at the south end of the street when I live on the north end. That's about 1/8 mile difference. I have not knowingly made any changes in my settings on GE so how can I get it to show my correct location? I have version 4.0.2722 installed on my PC. There are no updates available from GE. I hear wonderful things about GE but I'm a little concerned about the accuracy. Any help would be appreciated. Just in case you couldn't tell ------- I'm a newbie!! Frankj3 (Texas bred and born!)

I've owned 6 GPS units and every one would from time to time report some incredible max speeds while walking. I think its a normal, temporary glitch. Thanks for the info. I'm feeling better about my Legend now. I was caching by myself in a cemetery this afternoon when it started bouncing. Maybe it's a spiritual thing?????? I'll see what it does tomorrow as I did not find the cache.

Thanks for the info. I'm new to this and this is my first unit. Up til today I loved it.....I guess I still do now. That still doesn't tell me why the max speed went up to 190 mph. I've downloaded updated software from Garmin. Maybe that will help. Thanks again. Frankj3

I bought a used Legend and it has been working fine. Now, if I'm standing still, the unit will "bounce" showing anywhere from 5 feet to 100 feet to my waypoint. I've also noticed my maximum speed was 190 mph......my 4-banger Nissan Sentra ain't that fast! Do I need to find a hospital for my Garmin or is this commmon? Will a patch from Garmin correct this? Thought I'd ask the pros before I contact Garmin. Thanks. Frankj3

Went places to I would have never gone to, saw things I would have never seen, did things I probably would not have ever done with people I'll probably never see or hear from again. Was not real happy with my "job" in the USAF but I would have re-enlisted if I could have cross trained to another career field. The military was very good for me and to me. I proudly tell people of my service. Frankj3

nj stranger is an honorable man! The used Garmin Extrex Legend I bought from him had problems at first but now works fine. He offered to take the unit back and give me my money back if I was not satisfied. I won't be sending it back but it's nice to know there are still nice guys out there! I will certainly buy from nj stranger if he offers anything again and I can use what it is!! frankj3

Thanks Josh!!!!! Frankj3
