+Kealia Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Looking for advice guys: Want t obuy a new one and have done the research but would like to know a few things: 1) Does either unit let you do a 'query' of nearby caches to your position if you've already entered them? 2) Does either unit support street maps (or do I need to look at higher end models)? This would only be useful when traveling.... Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 The Sport Track map and legend are about on a par. Of the two the Sport Track has a better antanea and the Legend a better screen and twice the waypoint ability. Both will take maps that you download. The legend should have a 'find nearest' function. I'm not sure on the Magellan though it should have the same thing. Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 Thanks RN...I think I heard you are in Idaho, right? Do you know the ZipCode of the Twin Lakes area? My family has a cabin there and I've been toying with the idea of a vacation/caching trip to the TL/Spokane area where I was born. Quote Link to comment
+niskibum Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Try 83858 for Rathdrum, or 83869 for Spirit Lake. I don't believe Twin Lakes has a code, it's too small, But Rathdrum is just south and Spirit is just north. Since you are from the big C you will have to register at the Idaho border. We like to keep an eye on all of you. Quote Link to comment
+Nyarlotep Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I have a Legend; it will allow you to search through entered waypoints by "nearest to your current location". I haven't gotten any mapping software for it yet. Nyarlotep "God was my copilot, but we crashed in the mountains and I ate him" Quote Link to comment
+JDan150 Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Quardinance for Twin Lakes Trading Post on SR 41. N47 51.770 W116 51.079 as far as mapsorce thinks. Looks like there are 20 caches in 10 miles. [This message was edited by JDan150 on July 11, 2003 at 05:39 AM.] Quote Link to comment

He actually lives in the right part of the state. Though the border check is easy to get around. Just don't admit where you are from. Don't forget to take off the UCLA shirt either.

CacheMonkeez Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 The SporTrak allows you to list the waypoints (caches) in proximity order. I guess that would meet your requirements, right? quote:Originally posted by Kealia:Looking for advice guys: Want t obuy a new one and have done the research but would like to know a few things: 1) Does either unit let you do a 'query' of nearby caches to your position if you've already entered them? 2) Does either unit support street maps (or do I need to look at higher end models)?

+pizzachef Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Actually, with the SporTrac you can search waypoints by alphabetical, by icon (i think), nearest to current position, and even nearest to an address...as long as you have the detail map loaded for that area...so you load all your caches, and search which one's nearest to your camp if you've got it's address the Legend might be able to do this too, but I'd don't know for sure. -pizzachef Quote Link to comment
