Thanks, it didn't occur to me to put in the E and the S in.

Mick

Ive been trying out the my google maps, now I am curious as to how to enter the gps coordinates into the map.

I'm using the hddd.mm.mmm formate on my gps.

Is there a way to enter this directly or do I need my calculator?

Cheers Mick Carey

Yes I re-entered the coords, its a 1.5(edit difficulty) from memory, supposed to be an ammo box.

its:

GC1851F

Cheers Mick

Dang another DNF, same spot to, wierd.

Thought Id have my first cache by now.

Mick

Thanks heaps, off to find that DNF now.

Cheers Mick

And the degree format sorry?

Cheers Mick

Ugg, horrible start to this new hobby.

what do I need to set it to? (mils/degree)

I am gathering hddd mm.mmm?

That is what I am not sure on setting, the actual settings themselfs.

Sorry for the confustion.

Cheers Mick Carey

Oh sorry, unclear post, is the "mils" the setting I need, I know how to actually set it, its just Ive never heard of mils before, is this correct?

I just need to set my degrees minutes seconds, or not set them as the case is.

I am using "mils" with "hdddmm.mm"

Is this correct? I just logged a DNF.

Not sure I'm quite comfortable with that idea.

I could be a smart arse and put a cache at the local ship yards.

Cache note, bring your own crowbar, grinder or locksmith.

hehe

I bought one off ebay, 140 plus postage, if you have any questions, let me know.
Oh I am expecting it in the mail tomorrow (wed)
There are a few good garmin H vidoes on youtube, search for them there.

Mick Carey

Grr, maybe thursday

Yay I got it, now to find my first cache, looked twice already!

Shipping container

Ammo tin...

I just got some travel bug dog tags in the mail, anyone have any cool ideas for a "adult" travel bug, extra points for something that will not go missing.
