PkTheWolf Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hello, I am new to Gps and Geocaching. I just bought a Garmin 60c. I am looking for good ways to learn all about this. Are the instructional dvd's worth buying? Do they get into detail and give good tips and advice? I am planning on using my gps for traveling, geocaching, river trips, etc.. Thanks, Al Quote Link to comment
+GeoCamelCachers Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hiya When I purchaced my Vista I also bought a video explaining all of its features I found it somewhat useful. I am not shure If they sell one for yours. the best way I found to lean about your Gpsr is to use it. Go Caching, Play in the back yard with it, Go play in the park with it. Read the instruction manual, Even keep the manual in your pack until you get the hang of your Gpsr. As for Geocaching the best way to learn is to Do It read the faq's spend some time reading in here and doing some searches Just my opinion, enjoy the fun new hobbie/sport thats the most important thing.

+Jared_and_Tanis Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 And be sure to ask questions in the forums! You'll eventually get to the point where you'll need to know how to project a waypoint from your current location while using UTM coordinates and your compass set to True instead of magnetic. So, when the time comes, come crying to the forums, and everyone will be happy to post you a long-winded tutorial They saved me a time or two! But always, always be sure to list the model GPSr you're using, otherwise everyone has a fit, because EVERY GPS is different. Have fun! ~Jared Quote Link to comment
