Hello Charles, ... Not going to shoot you down, sounds like a decent idea. Just some stuff to add. 1. Teach them how to cache responsibly (tread lightly,...
Maybe you should throw in a free lunch too! Personally, I think most non-geocachers would think twice about spending that much even if it includes a GPSr....

the class sounds like an excellent idea, I don't know about suppling the GPSr. Maybe make it an option? I know a lot of people who have no clue about the GPSr...
Don't sound too bad to me, but would depend on how many participates that you could gather up. It seems like to me (caching for 3 years now in the mid-west and...
i think your class idea is great....i actually took a course in geocaching our local community college offered ($38). i found a friend with interest to take...
I'm thinking about thinking about getting into geocaching. What would be a good GPS device? I don't want to get a "beginners" unit then move up after I get...

Hello Steve, ... I'll 2nd the 60CSx. I got mine on Valentines to replace a stolen 60CS and it's amazing how much better it is. The microSD card for storing ...
I'm in total agreement with the last two posts on which GPS device to use for geocaching and hiking for that matter. I got a Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX for Christmas,...
I've used Garmins and Magellans and both are very good units. Think of it as Ford vs. Chevy. Both will get you to your destination, selection really comes down...
If you want the best on the market go with the Garmin 60CSx. I've had mine for about a week now and it runs circles around my old Magellan SporTrak Color. I...

Hi, I'm BookieW from Crozet, VA. Just found out about this list. Been caching since late 2001 and love it. Looking forward to being a portof this group. ...
I joined the group recently myself and I took my son on my first geocaching "expedition". We both enjoyed it, but my older Garman Rhino, that I took to Iraq...

Hello, I'm a new member - I've just bought my first GPS receiver. Those of you who publish waypoints on websites may be interested in the 'Geo' microformat: ...
... Great! Yet another unnecessary, overcomplicated, incompatible format for representing geographic coordinates. But I guess when your only tool is a ...
I have an Explorist 200 that you can't do anything but manually enter coordinates for caches into. It takes me about thirty seconds to a minute to enter them...
... The geo format may not be strictly necessary, but it could be a useful addition to simple HTML pages. The geo format does not appear to be overcomplicated....
