Google Earth Fun

Hey Everyone! It is I, back after a lethargy-induced absence! I've been playing around with GoogleEarth and GeoCaching, and thought I'd share a few screencaps of what I have come up with so far. I'm hoping to be able to automate this at some stage. That is GPX File in, KML File out and straight into...

Color or Mono Screen? Which Do You Prefer for GeoCaching?

Just a quick poll of my fellow AussieCachers...<br>
<br>
Have you had experience with both Color & Mono Screen GPS Units?<br>
<br>
If so, have you found the Color or the Mono screen easier to use for GeoCaching?<br>
<br>
Further, what unit(s) are you basing this on?

I'd love to see someone with a copyright for the keyboard shaft Micro$oft for unlicenced use for all of their patents.<br>
<br>
Maybe that's it - someone patented common sense and rather than pay the licencing fees, Micro$oft has decided to demonstrate that they never use it!
