Using George's suggestion I bought a new GPS

Wait to you get ourdoors with it. At times I have 12 birds on screen. The ones with the D after them will be the WASS ones adding even more accuracy. They are in the process now of putting up 4 new ones. If you get one with # 15 on it, its one of them.
It will also update itself with data while its on. If you click on the Find key, it will bring up the Geocaches stuff and waypoints click on that and it its pretty much all about Geocaching. Did you align the compass yet? It will run off the satilites but if your run that program and do the 2 turns it will be even better.
You may already be aware of this but if not, when you have the Geocaches loaded in it, click the Find key, then Geocache icon, click enter and choose a cache. click enter again, and it will show it with its data....then click Go to with enter key and you should get the
Speed you are moviing, The distance to the cache, estimated time to target or cache, and time to the next closet cache and compass heading. I use this more than the maps or page key, but hit the page key and see what you like. This screen up now will put me dead on a cache. It will beep you when within a hundred feet of it. You can change all of these settings so they will be more to your liking, it when you find it, click found, it will record it with and open treasure chest on the screen and then ask you if you want to go the the next closest one you have listed, if you say yes, it will take your there. Sometimes, you need to walk a few feet for it to stablize the compass and headings. ONce the satilites know you have moved your golden.... Even in densce tree cover with this unit, I have never lost a bird.
Keep me posted...

of that you would want to put on there. Pretty sure the guys are telling me they are putting say, the entire West cost topo, or East coast TOPO or Alaska and Hawwiiee. Pretty sure one guy was telling me he only had the 512 meg card and he had on the entire New England section in Topo..... Did it tell you the total file size for your state?

Go to the GSAK forum at http://gsak.net/ and ask if there is a different setting within the program in how it moves the waypoints over to Garmin. I know they support that program very well. I suggest it because I just did it again with mine with EasyGPS and again it put them in the Geocache listing perfect. Or give it a try and see if it does it....really simple to do via that one..... I just went all thru the manual in the CSX and it don't show any settings for that or at least I have not found any.

GCTT5E as they come off of Geocaching.com... I had a problem there once on my Legend 60 C in how I was pulling them off of the web site. I see your post in the cache forum and we are all on the same page. I wonder if you took out the card, and just brought it up with the base map and tried it how it would work, as I beleive it all goes to the internal memory Royal.... Worth a shot.....

that you look at a million times but the bell don't ring. You should have plenty of them to pick from now. Then click go to and your off and running. You will like the Geocaching part of it in how it works and feeds you a lot of info as you hunt the target. I don't have any high frequency hearing so I seldom hear the bell go off but those with me do. If I happend to have it close to my ears and no wind, I can hear it. I take it those caches will catch he!! tomorrow?
