I purchased a gps system a few weeks ago and we are still trying to figure it out.  It’s a magellan explorist 500.  Geocaching is a fairly simple concept.  It’s getting the unit programmed and files uploaded that is the tricky part.  I have 8-9 geocaches on the unit.  I figured out how to upload them to the system and hubby knows how to go in and find them.  Do you have to upload maps?  Silly question, I know.  I’m sure once we get the hang of it, it will be great!  I just wish we had gotten out before all this snow arrived.  Oh well, we can always pick up some snow shoes and a small shovel.  Hubby and I spend the day alone while the kids were in school and gabby is at the sitters.  We took the dog up to the woods.  It was gorgeous!  I would love to own a cabin in the woods.   Perhaps someday.  For now, I’ll work on trying to figure out this gps unit.

one happy puppy!
