Southernmouth Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I am a first-timer. I do not own a GPS which I can attach to my computer to download coordinates. Please - how do I download the coordinates in either lat and long or UTM? Southernmouth Quote Link to comment

+coffee/wired Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) I first started with an old Magellan. I couldn't download coordinates either. Can't you input the coordinates manually? I never did figure out how to do it with the Magellan, but still managed to find 100 caches with that thing by using a combination of written coordinates and Google maps. It looked something like this: Cache Name Size: Micro Difficulty level: 1.5 Location: [coordinates] On corner of Fifth and Hendricks. It took some time, but like I said, I found 100 finds with it.

BCProspectors Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 You'll need to enter the coordinates manually. Mark a waypoint on the device (you can do this while you're indoors; you don't need a satellite signal for this), erase the coordinates in the coordinates field and enter the coordinates to the cache.
