Just post a owner maintenance log and they go away.

Greyhounder was the one who approached the DOT, but I don’t believe we ever got to the formal proposal stage. (Becky, please correct me if I’m wrong.) I am going to throw together a draft proposal and post it to the BOD forums. Chris, if you don’t hear back from me by Wednesday, PM me to remind me to push the question.

Actually, as long as you have memory, you can load both (or even more map sets.) The catch is that the Topo Maps are VERY memory intensive, so you would only want to load the maps for specifically where you are going. To change what map is displayed, go to Setup, then Map, then click the Anchor icon, and check which map you want active.

I’m not a big fan of those topo maps. They are great if you are in a large, wilderness area or national park, but when you get into the real world, the detail provided is less than helpful. You will find that a power line looks a lot like a railroad, which looks a lot like a highway. Trying to do manual road navigation with these maps is pretty frustrated. I remember one time when Julie is navigating, saying “OK, turn left up here on “Railroad St.” Turned out to be an actual railroad. Oops!

Actually, I thought you were talking about the rating system built in to gc.com. I took a look and that one actually has no place to indicate special equipment at all.

[Team Deejay]

Tom is actually correct. If you install Street Navigator, you will have the highway screen and the active route screen. Otherwise, these screens will not be available.

Along with what Tie said, you can add or delete pages from the normal rotation (what pages show up when you hit PAGE to move forward or QUIT to move backwards). Anything you normally use should be in this rotation, so you can just page to it. I have the satellite page, the active route page, the compass page, the map page, the tracks page, the trip computer page and the menu page, which holds all the rest of the icons. You can theoretically remove all these except the menu page and just navigate from the menu, but this is much slower in practice than just stepping through the rotation with the page key. To change your rotation, choose setup from the menu, then choose Page Sequence. You can add pages, remove pages, or change the sequence. If you accidentally remove the main menu page (don’t do this!), you can recover by hitting the include all button.

If you don’t have a manual for this unit, you can download one at http://www.garmin.com.

I’m thinking a pre-event excursion to Wet Maze is in order.

[Team Deejay]

Nope. It is still publishable. Maybe they are going to submit it when they get time…

Can we file a rescue mission request on an unpublished cache? 😉

Ummm, no.

[Team Deejay]

Without giving away too much, let’s just say that, for some, submitting a notification to the DNR proved to be too much of a challenge.

[Team Deejay]

Working for me.

Interesting reads on those last two. Thanks for sharing the GC numbers. Also interesting is that in Ontario they seem to send out reviewer notices when a cache is unfound for six months. A bit different than our LCG and a lot less fun! Make it a contest and someone will go looking for it and find it! I can think of a few candidates right now… 😈

To be honest, I don’t really think I would consider archiving this since no one has even tried to find it. There surely aren’t a bunch of people out there wanting to hide caches in the Canadian wilderness. On the other hand, I probably wouldn’t have published this (the owner lives farther from this cache than I do!), but it was published in the early days before we paid a lot of attention to such things.

Todd,
I think the problem is that this (in the case of rest areas) is not a law or something decided by elected officials, but instead something decided by unelected state bureaucrats. It is up to US to get these fiats changed by dealing with our elected representatives. That is the nature of our representative democracy. (And that said, I would usually ignore rest area caches. Why would I want to geocache at a toilet at the side of the road? There are too many beautiful places to visit.)
