    Oregon 400T Waypoint projection

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    At about a .5 mile projection the difference in 1 degree is almost 50', so if you're looking for a cache it starts to matter at these distances.

     

    The OP's question wasn't about which units were available during the projection (there are many), they were asking if they could get better precision when using miles as units, the answer to that is you can't get better than tenths of a mile with the current firmware.

    Thanks, I hope they add this feature, it's a caching unit! It would be nice to have tenths, thousanths, and ten thousanths.

    Running 2.94 is there a way to project distance (mile) in the thousants? After I entered the degrees, distance is next. Example .515 miles. All I see is 0000.0---. I can't enter the .515 of a mile, only .5 . Any ideas or am I doing something wrong? I did have to change it to feet, 2719.2 feet. I would rather not.

    Wow. Can't believe they actually posted a picture of a TB with the Tracking Number clearly visible. Looking at that TB's page, at least a few people have taken advantage of the pic and logged the discovery.

     

    Believe.

    "Go ahead and use the tracking number and "Descover" this coin." << Believe that too. The company has it posted right under the picture with the tracking number.

    Whats the point of a micro? Whats happening to the real cache? My area is loaded with park and grab micros. Not a whole lot of planning and effort involved.

    Oregon 300 Field Notes, what am I doing wrong?

    Okay, I've logged my attempt as found. Added my comments and uploaded the logs on geocaching.com. My question is are the notes I've written supposed to show up when I click to post my log? It comes up with the screen and it shows the date and that it was found but my notes don't show up. Am I doing something wrong?

    They will show up under your profile. Look for "access my field notes" on the left hand side of the page. There you can post or delete them.

    I've gotten that far. The problem I've run into is that the line of text I've entered as a comment on the 300 doesn't show up when I post the log. What's the point of entering the text if you can't view it anywhere?

    I use a Oregon 400t with 2.93 firmware. I have no problems uploading. You have to click post, there you can edit your comments then post them to the cache log.

    I know we are all thinking this, so I'm just going to say it. For being a college student, your use of spelling, punctuation, and grammar SUCK! Try spelling out the word instead of using some abbreviation. Also, capitalize"I" and use periods!

    Are you kidding me? Please, in the future don't answer or think for me ok?

    WTB Explorist 500le AAA Battery Pack

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

     

    Mind if I ask where?

     

    Not a recommendation or endorsement but:

    simply do an ebay search for "magellan explorist 500 battery charger"

     

    Lots of dealers selling for less than $20 for 2 batteries and a charger. If you get a charger with the USB receptacle on it, you can use the data cable to charge the battery without removing it from the unit.

     

    Secondly, stay away from the AAA holder unless you need it for an absolute emergency. With Alkalines, it might last 5 hours on the lowest backlight setting, much less on rechargeables and much less at a brigher more readable backlight setting. The battery pack is rated for 14 hours on low and is quite a bit less on high, but still at least double that of AAA's.

     

    does anyone in the room ahppen to have the actuall gps unit for sale im looking for the magellan explorist 500 please get ahold of me

    Im thinking of sell mine, 500 le with direct route software.
