Nancy, The Complete GPS course is more of a tutorial on how GPS's work in general and some of the things that can be done with them. The Geocaching 101 course is specifically directed toward Geocaching. In neither class do we actually hunt "real" geocaches, but there are usually a group of people who go out and cache after the fact. During each class we will go "out into the woods" and hunt specific things. In the Geocaching class, we will have several simulated caches to find. Additionally, there are always people in attendance who can give pointers and hints. ----- Original Message ----- From: "tnsl" To: "Geocaching Freelist" Subject: [GeoStL] Question About Classes Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2008 06:36:49 -0600 My husband is working with someone who is interested in Geocaching. He already has a GPS and even attempted the caches in West Tyson over the weekend with not a lot of success. If I tell him to take a class should he skip the March 29th class, the Complete GPS Course, and check out the April 12th class, Geocaching 101. Would he pick up any user pointers at the GPS class? Do you do any caches at that class? Nancy Steve
