I got a new GPS for Christmas. Well ok, WE got a new GPS for Christmas, but I think WE all know its MINE!



WHOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

So I'm sitting at home bored atm and decided to Google cache containers. I came across some beauties and think I may have found one I might use ****mwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!**** Now I'm curious to know what your favourite cache container might be, either owned by you or found by you. No need to name...

thanks guys I'll go and check out those sites now.

am torn now, do I wait and get the Pacific basemap or do I save $200 and get it from the US??? Guess the warranty thing is bothering me too. Got another email from GME today The Etrex Vista HCX is due to be released in Australia in the coming month. It will be loaded with a pacific basemap. You may ...

For those interested I just got a reply from GME today

"the Etrex Vista HCX will be available here in Australia by early December"

Hi Susan I'm fairly new to this myself but thought I would offer my 2 cents worth. We used to have a Magellan 100 but I hated entering individual waypoints (can't hook it up to the computer) so am now looking at getting a Garmin Vista CX or HCX. I like the idea of being able to add maps to it and th...

I am on the market for a Vista HCX at the moment and came across this one on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Garmin-Etrex-LEGEND-HCX-Colour-GPS-Brand-New_W0QQitemZ270182426268QQihZ017QQcategoryZ34288QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Reading another thread started by "Luckdogscrew" and some really in...

My apologies in advance if this has come up before. I have a couple of Eclipse tins I'd like to put out and to be fair I want to make sure I describe them correctly as either micro or small without actually saying what sort of containers they are IYKWIM. I'll only be putting a pencil, sharpener and ...

We were out caching yesterday while we were away for the weekend and while scratching around at GZ in the leaf litter I uncovered a great big carpet snake :shock: . I held onto my pregnant belly and got outta there as fast as I could run. I usually have my 14 month old with me and he holds onto the ...

Good question bundyrumandcoke. One I've often wondered about myself.

CanClan, I haven't been able to track down either gps to check them out 'in the flesh'. Only found out today that our local Whitworths may stock both but they are closed today so will check that out tomorrow.

I ended up getting the RX1950 from DSE a few weeks ago for $348 and so far I'm really happy with it. Better half bought me a 2gb sd card for xmas for it so I could put music on it as well. I've run a few queries to download the waypoints I want with no probs. I tried cachemate and couldnt get it wor...

I regularly visit the forums and note who is online at the same time as me. Is there somewhere on this site we can all chat in real time like you can on MSN? If not, is anyone interested in participating or starting something like that?
Cheers

Thanks TeamBeanDare. I just ran a pocket query and got 105 records but they still want to download as a LOC file. Will give it a rest tonight and have another go in the morning

I've upgraded my membership to Premium and am trying to download multiple waypoints in GPX format all at once. This is what I'm doing:- On geocaching.com Search for postcode 4565 Matches 119 records At the bottom of the page I choose "Check All" then Download Waypoints When it asks if I want to open...

I am looking to buy a new GPS and don't really need one with all the bells and whistles. At the moment I'm using a Magellan Explorist 100 and find it does everyhting I need it to except that I can't download waypoints to it. Does anyone here have a Venture and can you download waypoints to it? I not...
