I think alternating from the front to the back of the alphabet would be more fair. I would be very interested in seeing the project continue.

try hitting menu on while on the map page select setup map and when the page changes hit menu again and select show city nav. hopefully this will solve the problem.

With a large card you can load many many maps. I have from the eastern border of the dakotas down past colorado all the way to the west coast in topo, the whole shebang citynav v8 a custom 24k topo of all of montana and all of colorado. Montana has landowner info too. also a custom overlay of montana game management hunting units. National parks central and west. and costal data west. Just highlight all and send at one time.
24k topos for garmin some states are available here

Keep in mind that the 400t has topos on the gps but not for your computer, which is very helpfull when planning out caching runs. Topo maps work in any unit and city nav has an unlock code for one gps only. More codes can be purchased.
If buying the software for the 60csx all you need is the colorado 300 it is exactly the same as the 400's but without the maps preloaded. The garmin tech rep that came to my store where i sell gps's, was unable to answer why they didn't just name them the 400, 400i,400c, and 400t. instead using 300 for the one without maps.

Big thanks to Kit Fox for posting links to the prior threads.
I'd urge a person concerned about defense to use what's familiar.
Don't carry a firearm until/unless you're experienced at using it.
Here in Alaska, bear spray is highly recommended (for all manner of 'bad trail animals').
Most folks have used spray cans of some sort, so the bear spray idea is more familiar under stress; although, I'd recommend buying two cans and practicing with one (it helps get the 'how to use' reflex in gear, and will most likely educate you about the hazards of collateral damage and backspray - ouch).
Reminds me of a joke/ How do you tell Grizzly poop from Black Bear poop?
Grizzly poop has bells in it and smells like pepper spray.
I carry a .44 mag Ruger Super BLackhawk in the back woods
Used one time to scare off a blackbear, shot in the air not at the bear.

It has to do with paperless caching. If I don't want to use PQs right now, can I just download individual .gpx files to my Palm IIIc? Like if I go to a cache page, like it and want to download it, could I get it to my PDA or would I have to go through GSAK?
Thanks!
What I used to do was download all particular gpx files then zip them together and could use gsak to read all files to convert into a cachemate pdb file.
If you are a paying geocaching member on the pq page is the ability to download a palm e-reader compatible file of that particular pq

I see the ability to choose inches Hg and milibars for the altimiter is there a way to read this info directly?
To see the actual atmospheric pressure.

Wouldn't you get more battery life by not leaving the unit on the map screen so that the cpu didn't have to constantly update map data? Just a Theory.

C/D FOR ME I give it the old College try and then see if the logs are any help.

I think it is a wonderful way to memorialize a loved one. Tell the back story on why the cross is there in the first place.
-
I don't have GSAK right in front of me, I'm on the work computer, but i seem to remember being able to set a date range under one of the tabs in the filter options panel that comes up when you select filter from the main GSAK page.

I have a (hotel) that is for tb's but I don't have rules. I wanted to place one close to a roadway for people to be able to easily drop bugs. My bug has been languishing in a remote cache for a while now and I wouldnt want that to happen to someone else. I prefer you to take a bug and move it along even if you don't have a trade bug, and If you have a bug that needs to travel fast please place it in the cache.
-
ok, folks. some of the other threads got me to thinking: if each cacher trashes out what he or she finds offensive or generally inappropriate, what's left in the cache?
i do not wish to have a debate here, but simply for you to note which items on the list of cache contents you would remove as inappropriate. as the list dwindles, i'll re-post with the changes.
DIRECTIONS
-read the list.
-decide which single item seems to you to be the most inappropriate.
-post the one item to this thread. please do not editorialize; there are at least two open threads where people are editorializing.
if you feel that i've missed some common or worrisome cache contents, please feel free to send me a message and i'll add it to the list. my list is by no means exhaustive and if you have in mind items that are either appropriate or inappropriate, they should be included. if you feel an item is offensive to you and you don't want to be publicly identified, you may contact me and i'll post your entry anonymously.
it is my hope that the most worrisome or offensive items will leave the list first.

I add my sig nickel to caches for anyone to take, no need to trade, but it is nice to see on the log that someone thought it cool enough to collect.
-
Is there a way to add an icon to the menu page? Or are we stuck using the custom poi icon only? Would be nice to be able to have each database have it's own icon tent for camping chest for geocache. I already have icons on the map screen itself just looking to get them on the menu screen.
thanx garmin 60-CSX current software as of current date.

DOWNLOAD ALL THE GPX FILES FOR EACH FIND TO ONE DIRECTORY ON YOUR COMPUTER, ZIP ALL OF THEM AND LOAD INTO GSAK AND USE THE GSAK FUNCTIONS TO SPIT OUT A GPX OF ALL YOUR FINDS NOT FINDS RADIUS FINDS ETC AND THEN ANY STATS PROGRAM WILL WORK.
NOT YELLING DIDN'T NOTICE CAPS LOCK TILL I WAS DONE TYPING.

STILL WAITING ON TRADES FROM THE COLLECTOR
Address resent and still waiting for trades. I see mine listed on you site now.
I too am waiting for my trades! Send several emails and was assured that they would be re-sent (twice). But nothing has come my way.
Yet more time has passed and no reply to my mails to "The Collector" I will assume I was ripped off.
