Uploading new maps erases old maps. It's weirder than that, but that's the idea. Thanks for the info and thanks for that link.

I just downloaded some maps onto the memory card in my Legend. If I'd like to erase everything on that card, how do I go about it? I'd like to erase it so I can put some different maps on it. Thanks. Corbett

Thanks for the info, I'm going to give it a try. And yeah...I'll teach them to Triangulate...as soon as I learn how to.

Both good suggestions...thanks guys!

Hi, I'm in charge of a scout troop and we occasionally like to do an orienteering course using compasses. I'd like to make the course using my GPS but am not sure how. Typically I'll have about 12 waypoints on the compass course. For example, the first one might say head to 182 degrees south for 500 feet. I then leave a small marker for them so they know they're in the right spot, the next one will say go 160 degrees for 200 feet and so on. Is there a way that I can use my GPS to just walk to spot and then see what bearing and distance it was from the last point and can I do it in feet or yards? Mine seems to only show everything in miles. By the way, I have a Garmin eTrex Legend Cx. Thanks.

Thanks for the help! Also thanks for that Jeep site. Cool site.

Google Earth and Terra Server. Is that normal? For example, a particular waypoint on my GPS is n 41 09 360 w 095 59 834 and on google earth it's n 41 09 2078 w 095 59 5132 Should they be that far off?

What is the most common Position Format? My etrex default was hddd mm.mm but I notice that Google Earth and Terra Server are hdd mm'ss.s". Are there any advantages to either one? Thanks.
