LongArm503 Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Hiya Folks, I am REALLY new to Geocaching and am having a very hard time figuring out how this Magellan SporTrak works so I can start caching. Are there any groups in the Portland area willing to help a new bloke find his feet? I would greatly appriciate any assistance....

+briansnat Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I don't have a SporTrac, but here are the basics. Find out from your owners manual how to mark and edit a waypoint. Key in the geocache's coordinates, and hit "Go to" or "navigate". From there, just follow the arrow to the cache. "Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.

+Laserman Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Welcome LongArm503, I can't help much with the sportrack question, my GPSr is an etrex. Check out the link in my signature, or introduce yourself in the NW forum. I'd bet there is someone local who can help. Quote Link to comment
cool_and_the_gang Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Again, welcome, LongArm503. I have a SportTrak Map which we are very happy with and which works without a hitch pretty much as simply as BrianSnat described. I think people could be more helpful if there weere more specifics to the question.

+chubby forest monkey Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Hello LongArm503, Well there is actually a geocaching event tonight- Friday August 15th at the Lucky Lab brew pub. It is listed on the Oregon Cache page as Kids Kache. If you go there, you will meet a bunch of people who can give you hands on instruction! See you on the trail! -the cfm Quote Link to comment
