Geocaching Australia

Hmph...if only it worked on mac... :cry: good to see stats other than just total caches (i.e. av difficulty and terrain rating). Loved my mac until I started geocaching, now I must confess I have thought once or twice about turning to the dark side and making my next computer a PC. Ugghh, banish tho...

Hmmm....unfortunately at the moment we can only read these logs and dream of what might be if we could only find a USB-serial converter that will work with OSX10.4. The belkin cable we were sold is useless and a cable that a friend has will run on OSX10.3 but not 10.4....is there anything out there ...

I think a little maintainence visit to re-hide in a new spot might be necessary for ruzzelz.

Its really great for general illumination and battery life on the LEDs and spotting tracks/caches etc on the zenon bulb...

Thanks Mix, your reply was of great help

Hi, We have finally managed to get our hands on a download cable for our Garmin e-trex. There seems to be a bewildering array of software out there to assist with the downloading of waypoints onto a GPS, some are recommended for mac some not. :roll: I have a G4 iBook and so far haven't had much luck...
