First To Find

Geocaching First to Find!

Just a quick video thrown together... Demo's a little bit about what geocaching's about.

Filmed entirely with my Panasonic DMC-FX01 digital camera. Also shows some features of the Garmin GPSMap 60CSX.

Did you use maps or the normal maps that come with the garimn

@roborovskihamsters The GPS MAP 60CSX (and most Garmin outdoor GPS's) do NOT come with anything but a useless basemap .I bought City Select, but you'd have to buy City Navigator.

I am about to buy a gpsmap 76cx and have heard it is basicly a 60csx inside , so I was wondering what your overall idea of the 60csx was, I can see this video is some years old now and you might eventually have gotten a new gps by now - so in the rearview mirror : was it a good gps for geocaching ? I feel a bit "off-set" towards it still because it is sold as a maritime gps , but anyways - any advice on this is very much appreciated =) thank you in advance

@goodvanilla Oh - also, the 60CSX has the best accuracy of the 3 (I think).

@bradtube1 thank you so much for taking the time and answering my silly noobish question =) also it made me be 100% sure which one I will buy now. Thank you again =)

Hi, just linked your video to my new cache (yet to be published as of 4/5/11)Should be published in a couple days - FTF Challenge GC2RM3A

@bradtube1 What level of detail do basemaps have?

[bradtube1]

@goodvanilla I have a 60CSX, Nuvi 500 and Dakota 20. The 500 and 20 both do paperless geocaching which is very important to me because I do most of my geocaching while travelling and just download a ton of caches and with the 60, I have no idea what I'm looking for, but with the other two, you have the description stored right in the unit, which is great. The Dakota's screen sucks compared to the 60 or 500. Battery life of the 500 isn't good - maybe 4 hours? I don't know about the 76.
