Re: GPSMAP 60C gear.

I've been contemplating forking out some bucks and getting the gen-yoo-ine garmin suction cup mounting bracket - Are they any good? My kids would probably break the "gen-yoo-ine" version, hence why we purchased the RAM unit. It cost a lot more, but is worth every cent, and then some. My kids could ...

Map330 window mount: Improve for approx. $5

<p>My mate has a Magellen Map 330 GPS. The bracket on the windscreen has some great features, but it bounces around all over the place, and falls off the windscreen. This is primarily due to the fact that the suction cups which come with the unit are too weak, too flexible, and do not cover a large ...

Look up "travel bug" on Geocaching.com . You will find it says nothing about "Swapping" it into a cache, because it IS NOT A SWAP ! Travel bugs are for one thing, swaps are for another. Its simple! I recently had someone leave a small travel bug of little commercial worth placed into one of our cach...

What makes a good cache

The reasons why a particular cache might appeal are as vast & varied as the types of people chasing & hunting them down. Appeal is obviously judged according to our likes/dislikes, our family or individual circumstances, our ability to travel, or perhaps what we might find or learn when we get there...

1) Waterproofing by way of a sealable plastic bag is great for in the pack. 2) Waterproofing the kit on the belt is simple: remove contents, place in sealable bag, replace back into kit bag. 3) Bulk purchase makes sense, logistics is the problem. 4) The $33.00 kit shown on the URL @ St Johns is good...

Thanks for the "Accurate" info re the Etrex. I see there isn't much point talking to the "GPS expert" of that store. I will pass on the info to my friend, & in the mean time continue enjoying our Garmin map60c. :lol:
