Am I losing my mind?  Nevermind that would require having one to begin with.
 
But seriously though.  I have an etrex vista that I use and thanks to Glenn 
today it's definitely more user friendly than it was before.  I also have a 
yellow etrex that I used to play around with before I ever got into geocaching 
at all  (like to mark the boat ramps and favorite spots when we fished and 
stuff).  I haven't touched the yellow etrex in quite some time as I gave it to 
my husband after he bought my vista for me as a gift.  I took it out to the 101 
today so that my friend that went with me had a GPS to use.  While out on the 
trail we couldn't get it to zoom in past 200 ft and I thought I remembers 
gettting in much closer than that.  I asked my husband before he left for work 
and he says that the night he played with it in his ambulance he had it zoomed 
in to 11 feet or something he thought (it would be possible he's thinking of 
the vista as he took it one night too).  So my question is does the regular 
etrex soom in past the 200 ft setting?  If would think it woul
 d be
 kinda difficult to cache with but i've herad of a bunch of people that use 
them.
