I need HELP!!!!! Oh wait this is the geocaching group
not my psychiatrist sorry :D
Seriously though I would love to be able to come to a
workshop on GPS, PDA and anything else that can be put
together. There are so many things I would love to be
able to do but do not have the time to work them out
for myself.
Would like to see one on:
1. GPS- tricks that can be done with them
a. Projecting, Routes, Trackbacks etc.
2. Paperless caching
a. Using a laptop and PDA
b. Using just a PDA
c. Combo PDA and GPS
3. A primer on RGS caches :D
