From: Rod Legaspi (rlegaspi58@yahoo.com) | Date: 2009-08-06 17:33:11 UTC-07:00
"Q" from a 19th CenturyLayman: Has anyone ever used and could recomenda GPS Reciever, notneccessary for letterboxing, I don't though,I saw ashow on t.v. aboutpeople doing "geo-cashing" in which they have.But, for camping way out in the woods. How reliable and/or ease of useare they (makes/models)? (Wrong forum to ask about...?)

I use the PN-40 , It's a bit geeky but the maps are a whole lot cheaper then Garmin .

Have a look at here for information:
http://www.geocaching.com/reviews/gps

I like Garmins. We have a Garmin Nuvi for the car and a Garmin GPS 60Cx for hiking (but the 60Cx can also be used in the car). Like them both very much.

Thanks for the website! I think I'll be delving at a couple of Garmin GPS models, like theGarmin 60csx and the ones you've refered and an etrek modelthis week at the store. (Websites are excellent, but I'm also a hands-on person, so off to the Electronics stores I go). Thank You very much. Rod = )

Silly. =) I decided not to do that anymore. Matter of fact I deleted a few (ok, a few hundred....) It's very liberating.

Hmmm, ya know that's a thought.... I just might delete them all. The logging I did is not a very accurate picture of my boxing history so why have any on there at all?

I never thought of it...........that's what I should do to Caveman. Come
along behind him deleting the finds he logs. Drive him nuts.

But how can I stalk you online now :-P

Mmmmm, give people the ability to post a log of finds online and then
call it stalking when someone actually looks at it? Makes little sense
to me.
