Thanks for the replys! Should I be concerned with purchasing a factory re-man that has a 1 year warranty?

I was under the impression that these would only accept addresses and not coordinates. If this is the case, how do you load caches into them?

Thanks!

Eric

Lobocs uses a Nuvi 300 I think (possibly 350?), and it did the same
thing the same day.  Some days we understand her frustration.

Overall, it's a great unit.  There are some things I don't like about
his, though:

1. You have to delete "favorites" one-by-one.  When we uploaded the
caches for MOGA, we had to individually take them out, instead of
taking them as a group.

2. No route planning.  I know this is in the higher-end models, but
the lowers only allow you to go to a point and then add a "stop" using
another favorite.  However, it won't allow you to set up a list of
favorites to follow.

I'm thinking of buying one of these. Which one do you suggest? I'm thinking
about the 260.

I got a kick of  this log by Pika Wants Cake on my Yet Another Dam Cache
GCPKBB  Which model are you using?

Out caching with Flatkatz during a MEGA MOGA! Had a great time! The funniest part was listening to the NUVI saying, "arriving at yet another damn cache"
...too funny!!! TNLNSL TFTC!!!


Thanks!
