Geocaching Australia

The cost of buying a 550 without topo maps at the current exchange rate is the same as the 300, that comes without maps. The only additional cost is shipping between 30 - 50 $US

I'm still tempted to buy the unit in the US and maps in Au

does anyone know is the 500 availalble here yet,and where? I rang Garmin again and there is no news on when it will be released. Not even "unofficialy" Garmin did say that I brought one from the US they would honour the warranty here even if they had to send it back to the US for repairs. I checked...

So what was the count??

Positive caching experience is going to places I would not normaly go to unless I was caching

And the count is ??

Our GTi AGM is soon I will ask

I'm waiting until the new Oregon 550 is released later this month in the US.

Everyone plays the way they want to

But by logging a find??, if the owner doesn't read the notification and see's found he/she might think it is back online and not check it.

I thought that is what a DNF was for. Yep I've been there but couldn't find the cache because .....

I got the same email the other day and told him to bugger off as well

I am more excited about what is in the box not just the box

Value for money is in Brisbane

But what about logistics
Getting it there and set up. Will it need a bit of fine tuning once it is installed or can this be done remotely?

is anyone there yet?

Do you think it's worth pursuing a small subsidy on the hosting by offering a 'Rackspace provided by.....' discreetly in the footer and/or in the mailout? It could save us some coin, even if it's $20 a month a it's a few hundred less a year for us to spend...... <P>It's well worth a try as we are d...
