you dont need a GPS to find caches, usually i just drive as close to i can, using the delorme on my laptop in the truck, leave the gps behind and go for a walk, i've found dozens that wayOriginally Posted by robt

Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.
I have a 60cs sometimes is great sometimes terrible. The last time I was out it took me within two feet of the cache. More often it seems to bounce around and always changing its mind. Still it usually gets me close enough that I can find the cache.Originally Posted by parmachenee
When I first got the 60cs last summer it worked great even under tree cover. I didn't have the problems I'm having now...tree cover seems to drive it crazy and it's very inconsistent...jumping around directionally and distance from cache. Is there a firmware update that I may have missed?? It seems others are having some of these problems. Have they just begun with other users or have they been ongoing?? But the autorouting works fine??
This is the same technique that we Magellan users utilize as well . . . only we also stumble around a lot and start spinning in circles.Originally Posted by Hiram357

I do this under normal circumstances!! I purchased the Garmin to make it CONTROLLED stumbling and spinning in circles.Originally Posted by firefighterjake

Frank - I'm having exactly the same problems that you are.Originally Posted by parmachenee
Oh - and the 60csx is scheduled to be delivered on Monday!
With the 101 Dalmation caches I have been doing that alot latley too.Originally Posted by Hiram357
Me too - and I am a Garmin user!! Of course, I can fall down even without my GPS like I did near the Civic Center in Portland this past weekend in the pouring rain. Ouch! My entire side was soaked, not to mention the large scrape/abrasion on my knee that I have been babying all week. Oh yeah, of course there is my humbled ego after falling in front of so many people and saying the "F" word really loudly as I landed. "Sheesh" at least when I fall while caching I am in the woods by myself or with people who will offer to help me up after they laugh a bit. Saturday I only got a couple of looks and the rest just walked by - ai yi yi. Yes, Dave 1976 - I know - it IS the city after all!!Originally Posted by becket

One thing I have noticed with my 60CSx is that at never tells me it lost sat lock under the trees. Also it stays locked when I throw it on my front seat. I don't have to have it on the dash. The newest firmware seems to have solved my compus rpoblems too. Now I only have to do the hokey pokey once or twic a day.
