Re: Dean and jbjeep
HA HA!!!! The maddness never stops. First a Jeep and now geocaching?? I've
been caching for about 4 years now. I've been using a Magellan 315 all this
time (after almost dropping my Palm in a river). It's got very few
features, but works for my family's needs. My father in law bought an eTrex
and it's not very good.
If I can suggest anything, get one with an antena. In my experience,
anything with an "internal" antenna, won't work when you get in the back
woods. my 315 actually has an antenna connector, that I could use an
antenna mounted to my vehicle if I needed to.

Re: Dean and jbjeep
You are SO RIGHT Chad
SO right!
We have just started and have a lot to learn. I got pretty frustrated today
because It was off by about 15-20 feet
on three different caches. All out in the open. I am likely to look at
something with an antenna and take this one back.
I don't know about the Garmin, have none available locally BUT we have a
Garmin and it works great, except for the occasional shortcut through
someone's prperty instead of a road.
We are headed out to places where they may HAVE something other than a stick
with a compass strapped to it. Maybe we will find one out there somewhere.

Re: Dean and jbjeep
That is totall normal. When it says you are right on, that means anywhere in a 5-50
foot radius. That is due to the differences in GPS's, where they stood when they
took their coords, and stuff like that. My GPS will often give me an accuracy factor
- good within 10 feet, good within 75 feet, etc. I think this is determined in some
part by not only how strong the signal is, but the tree cover, etc based on the GPS
talking to the sattalites.

Re: Dean and jbjeep
That's about right. if it says you're dead on, expect up to about 50 ft.
When i'm out on my own, I get to where my GPS says as close to 0 as possible
and set my bag down. I then visually set a border about 10 - 15 yards from
the center and proceed to search.
