What is that? That my friends are the coordinates to our first geocache find. If you’re looking for a fun outdoor activity I’d suggest geocaching http://geocaching.com . Basically this is an old-fashioned scavenger hunt using high tech tools. Armed with your GPS and some trinkets for trading you set off to find a cache of goodies.

The Boyz and I also hid our first cache yesterday- Wana know what we hid? Go find it. N 44° 49.763 W 069° 13.661

Awhile

It’s been awhile since I posted anything mostly because I started a new job and it has sucked the life out of me. Let’s hope I get fired soon so I can resume my life..kidding kidding, I’m happy and blessed to be employed, blaa blaa blaa.

Any who, I have finally successfully created waypoints on USAPhotoMaps http://jdmcox.com and then transferring those way points via another program called EasyGPS http://www.easygps.com. I also managed to create waypoints on the GPS and transfer to USAPhotoMaps.

Setup is: I have a Lowrance Ifinder Pro, free copy of USAPhotoMap, (JDCox does take donations) and a free copy of EasyGPS.

Lowrance uses a USR file format and USAPhotoMap exports in GPX or XML format. That’s where the EasyGPS comes in. EasyGPS imports the XML or GPX and spits out USR files directly to my memory card in the SD Reader.

Ok, Jack time for a real life test- let’s git hrr done!
