[Az-Geocaching] Clueless Newbie

[Joanna Strohn]

I was able to find the PC cable at Tucson Map & Flag. I also found Microsoft
Streets & Trips 2002 at Costco. It had a $20 rebate so I think the final
cost was about $13. (I tried not to remember how much Automap 1.0 and the
various upgrades cost....)

With my new toys I downloaded the EasyGPS that is mentioned on the
geocaching.com site. It really is easy to do and I was able to download the
first page of sites that are closest to my home.

Hi Joanna,

If you bought a Garmin GPS then you can get cables at Tucson Map and Flag
(or is it Tucson Flag and Map?). I don't think they sell Magellan cables. I
also bought a copy of Maptech's Terrain Navigator there which is great! The
whole of Arizona and New Mexico on around 22 CDs. You can go to
www.maptech.com and download a demo.

Have fun!

Andy

Many thanks for the warm welcome. With the thunderboomers hovering over the
park that was going to be my first exploration, I think I'll have to put off
my first search effort.

I've been doing some looking around on the web, but there really isn't that
much there for the completely clueless newbie. For example, what kind of
goodies does one leave? I make hand-dyed scarves, for example. Would these
be a good goodie?

I haven't found anyplace that has photos of caches. I read about Tupperware,
but I have no clue how they may be hidden. Or not hidden. Do I have to climb
trees? Wade swamps? Do a dance and chant? Turn my dogs into retrievers?

I got my GPS at Wal-Mart. I know they don't have any PC cables there (I
looked). Any other place in Tucson that might have cables? Or does one have
to order online for anything other than the basic units? What about paper
maps? And what about mapping software? When I need a map I go to one of the
online sites so I don't have anything that is new. Recommendations?
