Geocaching Australia

Well its been an expensive week. All of my purchases ended up with Alex, who was very helpfull and give all the information needed. I'm liking the 60C a lot, especially now that ive got it mounted in the car, and running city navigator 6 :D <P> Now i just have to configure the GPS to beep at the rig...

Nup, seems like something is going wrong. It unlocks the maps, but only unlocks them for the PC, not for my GPS.

<p>At this rate it looks like im gonna have to buy a copy of version 6 sooner than what i was planning</P>

did you mean to say the maps 'are' locked? They are locked by gps unit-id (so that you can't share them with your mates)! Each copy of city-navigator allows 2 unlocks, so if you've only unlocked it once before you should theoretically be able to use up your 'other' unlock opportunity on the garmin ...

Ended up paying more than what i could have got it for on E-Bay, but the advantage of getting it straight away, and supporting someone who does geocaching won me over. Ended up paying $790 <p>Im just trying to load city navigator v4 on to my GPS at the moment, but for some reason the maps arent unlo...

I've just picked a 60C up from Alex, since he was just down the road from me here at work.

<P>Now i just have to get the maps to transfer on to my GPSr so that i can start playing </P>

could you please let us know what you mean by doing a "refresh"? do you mean pressing the refresh button in your brower or something else?

Just hitting the F5 key in Internet Explorer to refresh the page.

I had this happen to me here at work last week as well. <P>I was discussing caching with team nibbler, and went to show her something on my computer, and found that she was logged in on GCA instead of me. Did a refresh and it fixed itself

Cheers for that. i have e-mailed him, and will probably drop in and see him tomorrow to have a chat to him about it.

<P>Is there anything that people find good/bad about this GPSr?</P>

I just got a new GPSMAP60 (not the C) from ebay, but C's were available, and from a reputable seller with lots of +ve feedback. Good transactrion & no trouble - also with warranty. And it was probably $100 less than JA or elsewhere.......... I also got a PDA from a different seller with the same gr...

I am looking to upgrade from my current etrex to a GPSMAP60C. So far i have found JA to be the cheapest so far, apart from Ebay(which im a bit dodgy about since they dont provide all the information). <P>Can anyone suggest the best place to get a mounting for the car as well?</P> At the moment i hav...

I am, but with a weeks worth of flexi days owing, i will be able to cache to my hearts content.

well it was something simple as setting the number of waypoints .Yep in the configuration,soooooo simple!!!!! I have reset my configuration and 500 loaded. Thanks for all help :) <P>now that you have the maps, you can get caching nibbler. </P>Sounds like a good excuse for a run with me tomorrow at ...

No worries, at least i know that im not missing something

Are the recent finds for each state going to be activated? When i had some spare time, i'd look over the last few days activities to see where people had been, and which caches they had done.

<P>They are prolly there, but im just not looking in the right spot </P>

....when your mother registers as a cacher so she can find out where you are and what you're doing! :shock: :shock: Or in my case uncle (posspet). Its a great way for the two of us to track where each other are, or have been :) <p>Also shows that we are both cachers, when we give each other co-ordi...
