Geocaching Australia

Comes with the Discover Aus topo mapping which has all roads, 4WD tracks etc and 5m contours over the whole country.

I don't think so, Just checked on the Triton 1500 I have here at work - like my Explorist XL, It does not show the cache size.

I can really sympathise with you. I had a similar incident a number of years ago at a cache site on the central coast of NSW.
