Since I am a computer idiot I will have to have someone show me how to do this when I get ready! I have one of the first hand held Garmins now so I don't think it has the capabilities to do any of that stuff.
Maybe this can be my Xmas present!

Oscilating between remarkable brillance and sheer stupidity with amazing regularity.
I have been using Mapsource and a good navigator for about 2 years now. Their resources have saved me countless miles and hundreds of dollars in gas. It's worth every penny to be able to plan for the days caches and then get to them, in the shortest amount of time and distance.
Why not live life like it is your last day....instead of pretending to be a member of the Peter Pan Club and believing you will be around forever.
I'll second what T2h said. The City Navigator Map set used with your GPS along with a laptop or desktop is a great tool. It's what I use almost exclusively in my Garmin.
I'd really rather not cache, but I am helpless in the grip of my compulsion!
I will add that if you go the PDA/Cachemate route you do not have to use GSAK. GSAK is a great program for sorting and looking over caches, but it is quite possible to get by without it. You can just create a PQs that are in the area you want to cache, excluding found caches and any other common filtering that a GSAK user would use. Cachemate can read and install that PQ without GSAK.

"The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it..."
When planning for the cache run we did yesterday in western Maine I used mapsource ans GSAK. I looked at mapsource loaded with unfound caches to figure the route. Then I used a user sort column in GSAK to number them in the order I wanted to hit them. Once you are on the route it was a simple leapfrog process with finding the next nearest cache. Occasionally looking back to the laptop to make sure we were still on track. Easy right
Happy Trails!
I fear I am getting dyslexic in my "older" age. You know when I say right I mean right. And when I say left I mean right.
Happy Trails!
Really? I think it's a Garmin 12. I don't have it right handy, it's in the car, but I think that's the name. I've long since misplaced the owner's manual. I suppose I could download it from Garmin and find out what it can do. Thanks.
