OlManJeb Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) Hello All, I've been lurking here off and on since 2007. Back then, I obtained an eTrex Legend and was wondering if it would be worth the effort for locating caches? Thanks for your replies, Ol' .Man Edited June 19, 2011 by Ol'.Man Quote Link to comment

It's a great little GPS as long as you don't care about paperless caching. I've since combined my Legend and my smart phone so I can have the best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I have no plans to get rid of my mine. It'll get you down the trail. One trick under heavy tree cover. Walk about 100 feet away. get a good lock, then walk steady towards ground zero. Note the line where the arrow is pointing. Then walk 100 feet way again and approach at a different angle. Again note where the arrow is pointing. The place where those lines intersect is where you should start looking. Quote Link to comment

My phone isn't all that bright, so I'll just have to wing it till I gain more experience. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for your replies, Ol' .Man The Legend is the only GPS device that I use for geocaching. Sometimes it's tricky, but we still have fun. Quote Link to comment
