Re: Magnets strong enough for caching

I just received a 1 inch diameter spherical neodium magnet in the mail from americia.

It can hold a Women's weekly on the fridge.


- why DO they call it a weekly when it is published monthly?

Re: Waterproof Sistema? Doesn't look likely

Oregon 300 bulk waypoint delete

I am running a Garmin Oregon 300 and with the geognome race changing so much, I got the great idea of not pushing my pocket query through GSAK, and instead just copied it straight to >garmin\gpx\*.gpx.
