[GeoStL] And caching Saturday RE: Re: Garmin Colorado

-
Well things did not start out well.  I was pretty POed.  No matter what I
did, the batteries lasted about 15 minutes.  Garmin told me it was not a
defective unit.  People on the forum said it was.  So I took it back and it
was defective.  I am much more happy now that I am getting to figure out how
to use it.  It has lots of really nice features, but it still has many
things that need fixed.  It works great at night.  I am a bit concern about
how easy it is to see the screen in the daytime.  I will see more tomorrow.
I think the geocaching functions will be outstanding.  

Anyone interest in caching Saturday and seeing how the 400T works?

That's the funniest thing I've read on this list in a long, long time.

You must have the Garmin Arkansas, not the Colorado.
