+Tharagleb Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 The military GPS should help you find the ammo cans. Quote Link to comment
+Geek&Gopher Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Welcome Aboard! Once you find your first cache you won't want to stop. I'm a 1 week old newbie and loving it. Great way to spend time in the outdoors which I love to do anyway. Quote Link to comment
+SoftballNewf Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'm new too. I have a Garmin Rino 120, chosen mostly because it was what I could get with my company brownie points. We've found 2 caches, and the first stage of a multi-stage. We'll get back to that one, it was a very buggy evening, and the crankiness was setting in. I could use some advise regarding software for downloading waypoints, so far I've just been typing them in. Quote Link to comment

ElevenBravo Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 During my time in the Infantry, I was forced to use a PLUGER. 3 hours later after reading the manual and doing as it said, we finally had 2 of them initilized. Woo Woo! Well, all was good until we put them in use. It cycled so slow you were lucky to navigate and when you did get co-ords, it wasnt accurate. Thank GOD I took my Megallen GPS-315 with me, it had MGRS built in (back in the day, it was a rare datum), I used it (as I did before) to get within 20 feet of my target. I *hope* that the current s are much better, else theres gonna be a lot of lost soldiers out there! 11B out... Quote Link to comment
+Tallahassee Lassie Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hola and welcome from me! Be sure to read up on what to take with you caching if you take little ones. They can definitely get tired/hunf\gry very quickly! Quote Link to comment
