Geocaching Australia

Having known Bronze for nearly as long as he has been caching, there are not many cachers out there who have given as much to help "newbies" enjoy their caching experience. He has made caching in the Central West of NSW and gotten tens of new cachers interested in the sport. This sort of thing happe...

I have just got a MIO P550 which is a PDA and GPS in one unit. I have installed Oziexplorer and GPX sonar on it and all seems to work well.
It came with 2 navigator programs on it as well

I found my first 400 caches with a 315, they work pretty well except there is no mapping. I also used it to run moving map in Oziexplorer without any problems.
it is very basic but reliable
Cheers and happy caching

same breed as the one you showed and I bought it off ebay

Mix I have one of the cradles with the built in GPS. Works fine. It looks a bit flimsey but I have taken it most places.

I was a bit hasty too, should have read sticklers post more carefully. Problem now solved

I have upgraded the firmware on my 600 but the weather page will not let me re calibrate it. Anybody got any ideas

See I told you so, but you wouldn't believe me would you.

Great Idea, count me in and pm sent

I agree with EcoDave it would be a good collectale idea with the some photo on it so traces would be left of past cachers

It depends on where you live. We live out west and we do what we can. No matter what the rating. We have a go coz we have done the rest. So I suppose it comes down to location.

Well done Mix. Just goes to show caching is alive and well in the Central West

Where would you get the calibration file from?

Hasn't this whole deal been caused by over regulation. Once you formalise it further you have to police those formalities

In the past this idea has fallen over because of lack of support but if we start it now with everybody hot under the collar will it be sustainable in the long term

They can be useful but have to be used in the right situation. It 's a costly exercise if its not really a life and death situation. Some body once told (I don't know how true it is) that people can be held responsible for the cost of the rescue
