+Cob's Crew Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Click on the following link for a video introduction to geocaching: Hello, we are new to geocaching. We just purchased an E-Trex Hcx and are wondering what maps should we purchase for geocaching. On our unit, the map that is on is the America's Rec Maps. Thanks for your help.

We just purchased an E-Trex Hcx and are wondering what maps should we purchase for geocaching. On our unit, the map that is on is the America's Rec Maps. Thanks for your help. Bruce I did fine geocaching with just the base maps that came pre-loaded on my GPSMAP 60CS receiver. Eventually I purchased Garmin City Navigator North America v.8 . I found I needed more map help getting to a destination than I did once I got there. At that point, I pretty much just followed the arrow. However, someday I do hope to purchase the Topographic maps as well. Topo includes trail maps which can be helpful when a geocache is hidden in the middle of a big trail system. Perhaps you should post this as a separate question on the forum. You will probably get a lot more opinions. Quote Link to comment

+Knight2000 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 BTW- great video. This would be great to put on a disc to send to family members. Then they can see our caching pics and see a short well made video describing what we do. Quote Link to comment

It always seems i have such a hard time playing .flv files. My thinking is that most relatives wont have a .flv player on their PC. Ideally i would like to put this on DVD or CD that can be viewed on their DVD players along with out family pictures. If .divx wont work then some sort of .mpg probably will. Anyway, there are plenty of online flv converters. They work but i hate the quality. You take what you can get i guess. Happy caching! Quote Link to comment

+4BOWS Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Great video. I really appreciated the fact that you didn't just "instantly" find the cache and that you showed that some time and walking was involved in the hunt. Quote Link to comment

+tnt4utvols Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Great video. I will definately be using it to help explain the sport to those with questions. My fav online converter site for YouTube vid's = www.vixy.net Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Very well done! It was neat to see that you're from Walla Walla. I've done a bit of caching down there. I particularly liked your scenic uses in the video. Very peaceful and professional looking. Quote Link to comment

My fav online converter site for YouTube vid's = www.vixy.net Thanks for the converter link. It works nicely. Vixy.net was able to convert a video that keepvid.com was not. The only problem was that I had to keep retrying because it kept saying the network was busy. It's always nice to have another option. Quote Link to comment
