sssoooo....how good is the gps in this thing. Is it better than one I'd find in a iPhone for example? How does it compare to other map navigation systems? Sorry but this just sounds too good to be true...especially for someone just starting out. I'm suffering from suspicion :) It's definitely bette...

Went into dick Smith today and asked the guy "If Harvey Norman are selling these for $641 on a $49 plan how come this one is only $199?". He blinked at me. In the end he 'thought' it was 'probably' because with the pre-paid the gps system would count as downloads and you would have to pay for it wh...

actually, additional question - does it allow you to see all of the downloaded PQ caches on the garmin maps (as opposed to the google ones) as it navigates along? Or do you have to go 'online' to achieve that? And will it sync with gsak?

dammit. someone tell me something bad about this phone so I don't feel so torn about whether to get it or not! ](*,) Soooo tempted. But then I can kind of do everything it does already - albeit with a cobbled together melange of old GPSr, iPod and netbook... and I'm trying to be good and not waste m...

That's fantastic!!!

I found myself just gasping for air as I read that! That's relentless!

I noticed something on my laptop which I never noticed before, which was a Garmin ANT application of some form (I've never used it - it just sits on my toolbar after installing some Garmin software I guess) - Would this communicate with a chirp? Nice to know I could use it as a backup if I ever want...

Caching is always fun, regardless?- nope. I don’t need cache coordinates to make me get out of the house and make a difference to my day! OK - It's late and I should really be in bed, but this line had me feeling all self-conscious... It's a fair point and it had me squirming thinking "Why can't I ...

Despite our name :D , I certainly don't think it's all about positive thinking and pretending everything's hunky dory... But I also reckon that things aren't as bad as we might tell ourselves sometimes. I do agree certainly with constructive, welcoming, positive feedback. I also certainly agree with...

new Garmin FAQ about the chirp (I found in a tweet) YES. A CHIRP TWEET! http://garminoregon.wikispaces.com/chirp Interesting that this one alludes to a potential iphone app to pick up chirp signals - I wondered how long that would take (although it seems to require the use of some specific dongle -...

Some idle thoughts for a Friday morning, from an equally idle person. There’s been a fair bit of moaning for a period of time about the falling quality of caches. And to be honest, I’ve contributed to that – both in the forums and in logs. I’ve noticed myself getting a little disappointed with cach...

Just saw this today:

Does this mean the Asus-Garmin phones?? If so, bugger.... I was thinking of one of those when I finally got around to getting a smartphone

- and then came across this equally wonderful cache: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC1K7DE That cache is placed by a local teacher who has some really good hides. I'm not sure why that cache would cause any concern. Oh, you misunderstand me... I'm not concerned by that one......

The pedant in me just had to refresh this thread with this pearler that arrived on the scene yesterday. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=ca1f324f-42ff-4349-825e-aaababcf6cde Where to start.... spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalisation, definitions. It's all there.... I eve...

Ooh.... huge congrats to the tiger clan... =D> When we knew you wouldn't be making the yarrawonga gig we did wonder on the drive up how you were doing. Mrs Happy Chappy will be most delighted with the photo. She looks delightful - Hope that she's making your life equally delightful and our thoughts ...

Doing a bit of sleuthing for some funny business going on with a friends caches (http://bit.ly/dybFAw) - They're both on Raymond Island in Victoria and in the last month or so it appears that the containers have been replaced - and replaced with reasonably engineered pipe caches which also have uniq...
