    So I turn on my SporTrak to confirm some coordinates. I’m pretty darn glad I had written them down earlier. When I go to my database now, I get the “no objects found” message. Yep, my entire database has disappeared. I still have my maps though. And I still can’t upload anything.

    Have I mentioned before that I hate this unit?

    I’ll bring it along. Thanks.

    (still not loving the unit though….I guess I’m a bitter woman after all….)

    Say it if it makes you feel better. I can’t count the number of times my Magellan has been the only one in the group with signal, while all the little Garmin users had me lead them to a cache area. Once there they just kind of poked around and went in circles until someone found the cache. So…while Bec may be having trouble w/ her unit, some of us love ours and appreciate its accuracy. I guess it’s just a matter of the situation. But you just go rigt on thinking that Magellan’s are bad. We Magellan owners have broad shoulders and can take what you say with a grain of…well with a hootie!

    I started with Garmin,
    Found myself swarmin’.
    Often I had to move away,
    From that what was harmin’.

    Good Sat. lock I sought,
    So a Magellan I bought.
    For awhile it worked,
    Then it developed a quirk.

    I pulled out my old Garmin.
    Helded the two side by side.
    I knew of a bench mark,
    I went for a ride.

    The Magellan was off,
    The Garmin..Right on.
    I left and came back.
    Again the Mag. got sacked!
    I tried it again,
    But of course,
    The Garmin did win!!

    I decided right then,
    I’d use a Garmin again!!!

    Keep on cachin’!
