Guest TJ-Tigger Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 What GPS do you use in Iowa? Do you have a problem getting signal lock with your unit. It seems that tree cover can be a big deal and is it that big of a deal here? Why did you get yours to begin with? Do you have any meetings? I am in the CR area. If you have any meetings I would be interested in attending a meet and greet. Jeremy Quote Link to comment

I just make sure to bring my compass. It can be very help full in heavy tree covered areas. I have a 315 also. Seems to work for me. Like you say an inexpensive compass is a good thing to have. BTW...I what happened to your Donut Bug? (At the Wabash cache site) There were several visitors between the time it was planted and when I was there in Jan. Nobody mentions taking it.

Guest cedricmackay Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 I don't know I have asked the people that have log the website and they did't see it there I need to goto the cache and look in the log book to see I am hoping it will show up some time soon. I know some people wait to log bugs and caches so that is what I am hoping Quote Link to comment

Right, and you don't need mapping capabilities because all the roads are straight. (Just kidding, everyone! Iowa was my home state, so I have a right to poke fun.) Quote Link to comment

Guest tecmage Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Hey, We use an Etrex Legend. This time of year, we're having NO reception problems, but we also carry a compass as well. Richard and Tracy Quote Link to comment

Guest TJ-Tigger Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 As far as meetings, I didn't know if the geocaching crowd did the meet and greet thing. Signed Jeremy, that would be my name. Online I usually go by TJ-Tigger. TJ for the vehicle that I drive and Tigger for who I am. Quote Link to comment
