Re: Garmin Software :- Base Camp vs Mapsource

If you use mapsource City navigator then you can use it for routing. As far as I know Base camp is just a base map. I have both I use Base camp less and less as it seems to have little functionality and is quite slow when loading birds eye.

Re: Multi Cache points

g'day hobie1kanobie,

There are a lot of multi caches available along the line you are talking about. If you are after real challenges try some of the puzzle (unkown) caches some of these should be more than enough for a challenge.

Re: Garmin Adds Multicache Support in Latest Beta

Re: Garmin Adds Multicache Support in Latest Beta

Downloaded beta looks good. Install went fine and GPS is stable - so far. Nothing lost during the install process so there was need to reload any way points or other data.

I to would also be willing to pay a small membership fee. While I grab Cache details from GC I spend a considerable time in GCA forums. In reality it's not a lot to ask the more active cachers are likely to spend more on trinkets, caches, fuel, food etc etc. I would hate to see the site go down the ...
