I believe so - the only restriction would be the amount of storage space , which is limited on the Legend as it has no expandable memory. But that shouldn't be a problem unless you create massive POI files.

Thanks Deci, I'll give it a shot tonight.

I ran into this problem just the other day - I wanted to type up the description for a cache that I'll be placing tomorrow, but the system rejected it as the placement date was in the future. It seemed a bit daft to put the wrong date on, so I just left it for now.

Agreed ;it's very simple & effective, whereas GSAK is powerful & complex. Depends what you're looking for. At the moment I tend not to store caches as POIs (too many other things there already..), but if I do go down that route in future, then this is the simplest option I've seen so far.

No.... How come?

Thanks for this. If anyone is looking for suitable icons, they are available here.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't; at least I've never noticed it happening, though I just use alkaline batteries.

If WAAS / EGNOS is enabled it takes a while to download the latest almanac of corrections - I think my Vista Cx takes about 20mins to do this usually.

I don't know for sure, but a couple of things come to mind: - many electronic licences contain 're-engineering' clauses of one kind or another, which might at a stretch be applied to raster to vector conversion. - on the other hand, if it is strictly, rather than just 'officially', for personal use, they'll never know.

Good call. That way you won't mind so much when it ends up scratched, battered, caked in mud & held together with tape, like mine.

I prefer it that way - maybe because I use my Cx for hillwalking more than caching, so tend to walk with it in my hand the whole time. If the scree was at the top, my thumb would hide it! I've had rubber band problems too, but I don't really care - leckie tape works wonders. A Vista HCx would still be my first choice.

I've used that, having managed to lose my MapSource disc. It was a year or so ago, but I don't remember any particular complications with it.

Interesting - I didn't know that. I'll have to give it a try.

Updated today to include details of stonebuilt pillars.

Sno-seal.

I bought a pair of those last year too. At first I didn't really like them, but they've grown on me. They don't actually make your hands feel warm, but they do a surprisingly good job of stopping them getting cold. I do also have a pair of winter hillwalking gloves, and a rubber pair like the bin-men wear.

Interesting feedback, thanks for that. The blurring beyond a certain zoom level suggests that the 1:50k are raster images derived directly from Landranger data - the same problem occurs with PC mapping such as Anquet . Is a screen shot a possibility I wonder?

Because Groundspeak decided it would be commercially viable to add one old copy of a NGS database to their site?

Could you point me in the right direction please?

Here's one find I did make sure to both sign the logbook & log online.

The main question has been answered, but it's worth pointing out that whereas all (known) Flush Brackets are listed on bench-marks.org.uk , countless thousands of simple Cut Bench Marks are either only listed by the Ordnance Survey, or nowhere at all.

You can find links to the UK sites for trigpoints & benchmarks in my signature if you're interested.

The data comes from the Database of British Hills, generally recognised as the most authoritative and complete listing of hills in Scotland, England & Wales. Some of the editorial team appeared on Countryfile a couple of weeks ago demonstrating their work, and they are scheduled to hold a press conference on 10th September which will result in a change to the SMC Munros list. The classification codes themselves are here.

Or, a benchmarker looks for circles, a geocacher goes round in circles?
