+blindleader Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 According to Garmin's page on geocaching: "How do I start? You will need a Garmin GPS unit to help you find or mark cache locations". You learn something new every day. I had no idea this game was restricted to one brand of equipment. Quote Link to comment

+TeamCNJC Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Actually, you need two. You need a Garmin to hide or seek a cache, but you need a Magellan to get to the center. -Craig/TeamCNJC ...

I am 190% sure you will be able to find a lawyer to take your case. Add some stuff as well. I don't know. "I couldn't find my in-labor pregnant wife because she wasn't a geocache". I think it will work, heck, I KNOW it will work...with the right lawyer. - JamesJM Quote Link to comment
+blindleader Posted October 8, 2003 Author Share Posted October 8, 2003 Well it makes sense that my Merigreen is at the center, because there's a street sign very near here that says "Welcome to Fremont, Center of the Universe". Of course it's always felt like the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the galaxy. I'm really confused now. Quote Link to comment

+OneOfEm Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Since the Garmin units are the GPSr's for geocaching , everyone who owns one should request of Garmin that they add a "cache" icon in their next software upgrade (I just did). Quote Link to comment

+OneOfEm Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I stand corrected - The Vista has the icons too. I must have just scrolled right past them. Quote Link to comment
+Duc996 Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Funny, I didn't see many Magellans in Iraq. It seems that when your life depends on a good GPS you go with Garmin, when you're just fooling around any old POS will do!

+phantom4099 Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 I noticed a Meridian on CNN, they where in northern Iraq with special forces. They were calling in bomb strike. I know I saw the meridian, but I can't say if it was used for what I described. Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.
