This makes Geocachins fun

Every year I do an Easter egg hunt for the grandchildren. Now they are teenagers I had to try something new and "cool". Got a Garmin and geocached the Easter eggs at Bedgebury Forest. Boy did it work. They could use it quickly and had a great day out. Buy one and try!!

Garmin GPSMap 62s

Bought this to replace a lost Memory Map Adv3500. I wanted a unit with buttons rather than a touch screen and the £50 trade-in offer for my old Etrex made it affordable. Being able to press a button to go straight to the different pages of information is excellent. The information on each page can be customised as can the sequence of the menu lists. You can save several different configurations or profiles for different uses - I've saved the same options as two profiles, one setup for metric and the other imperial so when I'm walking I can just switch profiles to check distance, altitude, etc in km-miles, m-feet, km/hr-mph etc. The GPS accuracy seems to be better than 3 metres most of the time. The unit comes with worldwide base mapping with main roads named. I got the bundle with GB 1:50k OS mapping. This also gets overlaid with all street names and individual addresses and points of interest of the built in GB street map. The text size of these overlays can be adjusted or turned off so it can be used as a road satnav although it does not speak to you. The clarity of the OS mapping does not seem as good as the Memory Map Adv3500 but this may be because of the smaller screen. My unit didn't have the latest software installed but the upgrade procedure was painless. Good points - too many to list but the functionality and customisation and general usability are excellent, it's the right shape and size to hold in one hand and use your thumb to operate - and it runs on AA batteries so you can always carry spares. Bad points - smaller screen than touch screen units. Thanks to the really helpful staff at Cotswold Outdoor Chester.

Probably the best waling GPS so far

I've had various GPS devices over the years and for walking over the past few, I have used a Garmin eTrex Legend. This is the replacement (the eTrex, I have given to friend).

The fact that it comes with the 1:50000 OS maps already (on a separate micro SD card, just to be inserted), means that it is very easy to spot alternate routes when out walking and the originally planned route looks a bit iffy for some reason.

However, the very best bit is being able to scan in paper maps and use them.

So, I'm off on holiday trekking in Greenland. I have bought the paper maps of the area where I will be. I have now scanned in the area and created a JPEG file. The next step is to load up Google Earth and add in the JPEG as an overlay. (Find the place in Google Earth first, then add the overlay). The time consuming bit is to move, rotate and stretch the JPEG so that it exactly matches the ground on Google Earth. I found it best to keep changing the opaque slider to see exactly what I have done. Eventually, I'm happy.

Now click the OK button in the dialogue and this is saved in Google Earth. You now need to right click on the name of the map (in the left hand table of places) and select . Save as a .kmz file (the d
