- Hmmmm .. if there was an option thru SLAGA to donate $$ to this specific "Wish" I would donate. Might be able to get Garmin or Bass Pro (the new Cabela's?) to donate something or offer at a discount. A SLAGA person could volunteer to help set it up and demonstrate to him (if he's local) and maybe set up a cache or two for him Nancy -----Original Message----- From: geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of rogbarn@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 9:53 AM To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [GeoStL] NGR-Make-a-wish - I received an email yesterday from a friend of mine who works with the Make-a-Wish foundation. She wants some information about GPS systems. I explained what I know but I decided to draw on the collective wisdom of this group for some ideas. I have summarized several emails here to show what she is thinking about and looking for. Reply to the list, I will collect and summarize them and pass them along. Thanks for your help. *************** Hello, all. I am working on a wish for a little boy with a life-threatening illness who loves mapping. This little boy is only 6 -- but heavily into maps -- and understands them really quite awesomely well. Is that too young, do you think? Do GPS systems talk? He is way into things that talk to him. Someone else researched today and found a globe of some sort that talks at you. Know anything about it? I've heard of the GPS for the car -- how much do those run? He wants to follow along as they drive to xxxxxxxxxxx (their preferred choice of travel). Can the GPS be put in the back, where he will be? Anything you can learn would be great. THANK YOU so much. You'll be helping a little boy who so deserves it! :-) **************************************** For List Info or To make _ANY_ changes, including unsubscribing from this list, click -----> //www.freelists.org/list/geocaching Missouri Caches Scheduled to be Archived http://tinyurl.com/87cqw
