Father’s Day GPS Deals
Amazon has some Father’s Day GPS Deals. Unfortunately none of the GPSrs that I am looking at are part of the deal… as a matter of fact, none of the ones that they have a deal on would work for much of any of the stuff I want a GPS for aside from road navigation, none of them would work for geotagging photos, though a couple would work as very basic geocaching units, but aren’t really meant to be taken on a hike as they aren’t rugged enough. So I am still looking at the Garmin eTrex Vista HCx Color High-Sensitivity Mapping Handheld GPS
as the unit of choice (at the low end, or the Garmin 010-00422-00 GPSMap 60CSx 2.6-Inch Mapping Handheld GPS
at the high end since I decided against a Garmin Colorado 300 Bilingual Handheld GPS Unit with North American Maps
for now due to firmware issues… though those will be cleaned up… probably soonish). I detailed everything in my last post, Locked Down on a GPS Choice.

Reverse Geocaching?
about 2 months ago - No comments
Geocaching is a really cool hobby where somebody hides a container, sometimes so small it only fits a tiny bit of paper for a log all the way up to ammo cans (sometimes larger). They then post the coordinates of the container on a geocaching website where other people then try to find it. One
Okay I Have a G1, but I Could Still Use a Good Handheld GPS
about 1 year ago - No comments
I love geocaching with my G1 using GeoBeagle. It is a great phone with GPS abilities, and of course GeoBeagle is the best program out there for the Android platform for geocaching (plus, it’s free). However, there are times when you exceed the ability to use the program, especially if you need a map to
Using GeoBeagle

I made my first Wiki entry/edit today over at Cacheopedia. I made an entry on how to use GeoBeagle. Hopefully others will come along and help fill in what I left out.
Lots of New Caches Found Using My G1 and GeoBeagle
about 1 year ago - No comments
I have now found a total of 11 caches, 6 of which have been using my T-Mobile G1, and GeoBeagle that I downloaded off the Android Market. I have to say I find that the G1 does really well in the cover of woods. Far better than I expected. GeoBeagle is my favorite Android app
I Found My First Geocache Using My G1
about 1 year ago - No comments
I got a G1 recently. Great phone with a built in GPS. So now I can go geocaching. First I got GeoBeagle (available on the Android Market) and it’s required application Radar. Then I had a moment to run accross the street from work… well okay, I drived across the bridge to the other side
40 Years of Life… Almost
about 1 year ago - No comments
Soon I’ll be 40 years old. Wow. We got a used XBox 360 for a really good deal from Sara’s brother (he upgraded to a fancy new version), so my wish lists has modified some, since we no longer need that. Top item on the list continues to be a GPS for Geocaching (not for
Updating Wishlist for Christmas
about 1 year ago - No comments
Edit: December 02, 2008. The lists have been updated today with more items. Be sure to check the lists regularly as we’ll add items off and on. Also, a small reminder that we earn a very small percentage off all our Amazon sells, so if you can, buy directly from the links. Again, these lists
Rethinking Which GPSr to Get and Garmin and DeLorme Announce New GPSrs
about 2 years ago - 1 comment
I have decided to either go for a DeLorme (yes, the same company that makes the large street atlas you may have in your car or elsewhere) PN-40 (noted below) or the PN-20 $349.99 at Amazon (link above), but that includes topographic maps of the country, which can be used for full road routing. 1GB
Good Geocaching Day
about 2 years ago - No comments
Ari and I went geocaching Saturday (Sara decided to stay home and have some Sara time) and Ari played a bit in the park. We still don’t have a GPS, so I still rely on Google Maps or Google Earth to locate things before I leave the house. First we went for and got, The
Pick Me…Pick Me At The Travel Bug Tree (GCXW4Z)
about 2 years ago - No comments
I found my first geocache! I specifically picked Pick Me…Pick Me At The Travel Bug Tree (GCXW4Z) first because it was supposed to have a Travel Bug in it, and when we go camping here soon, there will be a gathering of geocachers who will trade Travel Bugs. Also, based on it’s location on Google
