[Newbie Map question]

the real question is.......what do you want out of a mapping software set? And how much are you willing to spend

 

do you want autorouting?

Roads?

Or simply just topographical data

 

and which unit do you have

I have Vista CX and I eventually want the roads and Topo but will probably wait until May. Was just reasearching cost of Maps.

[Newbie Map question]

I see software on ebay listed as US Topo NT update. What software do you need to have to update with this. I am just wondering if I need to buy the complete map set or can update. All I currently have is the mapquest ( Waypoint Mgt )software.

[Any Free Maps Available ?]

I have bought my first GPS. It should arrive in the next few days. They said it had Mapsource on it but no Topo US or the one with roads. Anyway I plan on purchasing those in May with birthday money. I was just curious are there any old versions or Beta test versions available for free ? I will be getting a Garmin Vista CX. I have never been on a catch, but from what I gather I can get by with just a local map until that time?

Anyone know if this store still exist. I don't get the correct sight when I try.

[Newbie question about Garmin Vista CX]

What is the price of the Vista Cx? If it is cheap enough, it will be just fine for Geocaching, but Garmin has the new 'H' models which have a High Sensitivity receiver. If you cache in areas where there are lots of trees, or in areas where there are canyons, or steep slopes, or in urban areas with tall buildings, you might want a new 'H' model. You can get a Legend HCx for around $200.00. There are less expensive 'H' models, and if you choose to go that way, make sure you get one that connects to your computer with USB instead of with the Serial port.

Thanks for the reply. They are asking 175.00 for it. I had kind of set a limit of $170.00 dollars for myself. I also am not sure the difference between the Legend and the Vista. Maybe I would be better of waiting on the Legend HCX a little longer? Hills and canyons will be no problem I live in Illinois but trees or buildings could.

[Newbie question about Garmin Vista CX]

I am a total newbie and I'm wondering if the Garmin Vista CX would be lacking something I would need to Geocache ?I don't need all the bells and whistles but I was looking at one for sale on the board and I just wanted to make sure it would work fine for geocaching. I like that I could upgrade the memory but am not sure beyond that.

[GPSMAP 60C]

OK, Thanks for the input. It was a refurbished that I saw for the $170.00.

[GPSMAP 60C]

Hi, newbie here. I am looking to buy my first GPS and take up geocaching. I can't afford the newer garmin's that are similar. I see on ebay the GPSMAP 60C is in the $170.00 range. At first I wanted to stay below $150.00 . But I was wondering about this item. It looks durable with a good screen. I know it has internal 56mb with no card avail. is this a major problem for a beginer? Should I look at another GPS like etrex for the same or less money? I realize this has already been discussed many times in this forum, but I don't see this exact model being discussed. Thanks for any input, and Happy Valentines Day!
