In this month's podcast A quick update on the 2021 OS map cards from GarminSpine race – well done to all our customers who have taken part in this event.After we sung the praises of the OS app in a recent Podcast, in their wisdom they managed to undo any good work they had done just a few weeks later. We look at what they have done.Yet more units discontinued by Garmin, we look at a year where Garmin have certainly cleared the stable out.Stock availability – sorry I know it is a recurring theme, but a quick update on stock issuesAsk Ian – the questions you have been asking Ian over the past month The first thing on this month's Podcast is a look at the recent update on the Garmin 1:50k map card Last month we discussed that Garmin, after a very long wait, updated the 1:25k map cardIn the past month we also received and update of the 1:50k TOPO Great Britain PRO 1:50k map cardSo both map cards are now V2OS release ¼ of the country every year as a map update so cards get updated every 4 years but for some reason the 1:50k map card has been updated after 3 years.What changes on OS maps? You can buy the new map card as a standalone product on GPS Training and all new Garmin GPS unit bundles are now being shipped with updated map cards, unlike some other retailers The next thing on this month's GPS training podcast is a look back at the Spine race – well done to all our customers who have taken part in this event. The Montane Spine Race is widely regarded as one of the world's toughest endurance races. There are both summer and winter events and the summer event started on Saturday 19th June. In our 31st episode, we interviewed Paul Freeman after he completed the Spine Challenger race.A truly epic challenge that will test your physical resilience and mental fortitude. Racing non-stop along the Pennine Way – 268 miles There are ‘shorter' races within the main race but all are true challenges. As I spoke about this in last month's Podcasts many people are introduces to GPS units for the first time with an event like this. We have had a number of customers participating in the event and well done to all those who took part. Before they start the Spine Race they have to demonstrate they can get their current Grid reference from their GPS unit. So, Ian how would people do this – Satellite pageCreate waypoint of your current location If you want to find more about the Spine race please just go to their website – thespinerace.comThe next thing on this month's podcast is the recent updates to the OS app. After Ian sung the praises of the OS app in a recent Podcast, in their wisdom OS managed to undo any good work they had done just a few weeks later. So Ian, what have they done? Basically, when you plan a route on the app, it exports as a track in to Garmin Explore unlike all the other apps you can use….. I am slowly working on the OS. They have now admitted that they have trashed it for the time being and accept it needs to be altered back to what it was prior their three app updates in March. That still hasn't been done. As we do have, I think, quite a few customers who use this app, it may be worth talking about it/other options that work?The next thing on the GPS Training Podcast is the end of the road for the Garmin Oregon 750 Another one bights the dust – This year we have seen the A number of units ‘discontinued' – Touch 25t, we still have the 35tGPSMAP 64sx and GPSMAP 66stMontana 610, 680 and 680tThen the Oregon 750tAnd then this week we saw the Garmin Oregon 750 be discontinued. Don't work both ourselves and Garmin will continue to support these units for many years to come.Stock availability – sorry I know it is a recurring theme, but a quick update on stock issues Currently out of stock of GPSMAP 66sr, Montana 700i Shortage of ‘chips'

His taste for music includes Johnny Cash and Led Zeppelin.Our "Tip for the Seasoned Cacher" comes from Listener rosebud55112:"If you live in a part of the world that has a significant change of climate with the changing seasons, you may want to check what time of year a cache you are searching for was hidden. Hiders tend to use camouflage appropriate to the season they hide the cache, so a cache hidden in the spring may be easier to find in the fall, when its camo is gone or out-of-place."Twitter: dudleygruntCache-A-Maniacs Discovery Coin: TB23G1NShow Sponsor: GeotalkContent Rating: NormalDate Recorded: November 6, 2009Show Notes: DarrylW4

Listen to our interview with vertigo84m of Houston, Texas. His favorite GPSR was actually the one with which he started -- the Magellan 2000XL. Since then he's used the Garmin eTrex Vista, Garmin eTrex Legend, and now the Garmin Oregon 200. His favorite caches are "Oh Bother!" (GC294D) and "Geo Fast food" (GC1BN2N). He enjoys listening to Jimmy Buffet and watching "The Great Escape" and "Wizard of Speed and Time."Our "Tip for the Seasoned Cacher" comes from Listener bripod:"When rolling up logs for nanocaches lay a piece of string (approx 3") across the log and roll it up halfway, then fold one side of the string over to match up with the other side of the string and continue rolling until you're done. Place the log into the nano with the string sticking out and tuck the string under the cap. This will provide a 'handle' for future cachers to easily remove the log. I frequently use waxed dental floss for this."Cache-A-Maniacs Discovery Coin: TB23G10Show Sponsor: Geocache RadioContent Rating: NormalDate Recorded: October 30, 2009Show Notes: DarrylW4

Listen to our interview with TheBadCop of Tacoma, Washington. He's know as TheBadCop on Twitter where he collects responses for the "Geocaching Question of the Day." He's currently using an Garmin Oregon 200 but started with a Garmin eTrex Legend. He want control over his GPX files so he runs all his Pocket Queries through GSAK before loading the GPSRs. His favorite location was found during his recent milestone at the "Mission 9: Tunnel of Light" (GC1169) Project APE cache. He would like to revisit France to go caching. His favorite hide was the now archived "My Chores: My Shopping List" (GCNCN3) unknown cache. For entertainment he likes "Star Trek" and "Star Wars." He also like watching football on television. We also had the pleasure of caching with The Bad Cop and xpunkx on July eleventh.Our "Tip for the Seasoned Cacher" comes from Listener sparrows_gold:"When going on a 'FTF' hunt, if you're the lucky one to find the blank log - don't rush to log it in right away! By waiting a few hours or the next day, this keeps more people going for the hunt and the cache owner will get more hits to his cache! There is nothing worse than publishing a new cache and only one person finds it for the next week!"Show Sponsor: Podcacher PodcastContent Rating: CleanDate Recorded: June 26, 2009Show Notes: DarrylW4

The thought is that the focal point will distract the seeker enough to provide a bit of a challenge."Cache-A-Maniacs Discovery Coin: TB23G4ZShow Sponsor: Geocaching PodcastContent Rating: CleanDate Recorded: May 29, 2009Show Notes: DarrylW4

Listen to our interview with Team Psychopuppy of California. The team of five (two humans and three canines) took their name from the eldest puppy (Belle). They started their caching explorations with a Handspring Visor PDA with a GPS card from Magellan. Their first DNF didn't deter them, and eventually they purchased their Garmin GPSMap 60CSx and still prefer using that to their new Garmin Oregon. They're also using the navigation system in their Toyota Prius and the iPhone 3G. They still use their Handspring Visor and CacheMate for their cache information in the field. The 60CSx receives its caches through MacCaching while the Oregon is drag-and-drop of the GPX files from Geocaching.com. They hosted the "Caching on your Mac" at GeoWoodstock VI. They made a trip to visit his parents though during GeoWoodstock V. They enjoy their local Northern California for its variety, and especially Lake Powell (where they had an encounter with a winged geomuggle). One of their favorite events is the "Sonoma County Cachers Re-Union Cache" which they host each year. They also created the SRLUP series of caches bringing Cachers to the many small parks of Santa Rosa, California. They enjoy watching movies on their Plasma TV (when not Geocaching), including "Blade Runner" and the Disney/Pixar movies. For music they enjoy "Depeche Mode," "Heart," "Kansas," and "U2."Also mentioned in this episode was the "Winter Potluck & Cabin Fever (GC16JBK)" event and the "Cache-A-Maniacs Geocoins Through PayPal" post.Cache-A-Maniacs Discovery Coin: TB23G55Show Sponsor: Twin Cities Geocaching PodcastContent Rating: CleanDate Recorded: January 3, 2009Show Notes: DarrylW4

This month has been full of great experiences from interviewing two of our listeners to eating many lobster dinners in the RV. A week on Cape Cod in the off season was a great way to introduce us to the best of New England via some great beaches, scenic campgrounds, bike paths, good eateries, and new friends. This is RVing at it best. Leaving was hard, but we headed up the Maine coast to see some of the picturesque fishing harbors for which this state is famous. Boothbay was one of the most interesting but we found many smaller towns full of fishing boats just waiting to be photographed. With the trees beginning to change, we headed off to NH and Lake George (NY). Unfortunately the weather has not held out so our enjoyment has been diminished as the rain falls. The POI (point of interest) file that I purchased for my GPS last month did not pan out. This file for a cost of $49, was supposed to give our GPS new power by installing a huge number of new searchable points of reference like campgrounds, state parks, and similar RV related destinations. The company could not deliver the product to me without a great deal of aggravation (who ever heard of a 24 hour download window that expired two hours after notification?) so I use an alternative source for this info, POI-factory. com. This website posts POI files (usable in most GPSs with a USB port or connection) created by fellow GPS users. These files are a free download and can be combined into a very useful set of additional POIs for your GPS. As an example, I downloaded Superwalmarts, Flying Js, State Parks, NH covered bridges and many others. Downloads are quick and transfer to the GPS is even faster. Once in the GPS, using the search function makes them accessible. We also tried casino camping this month. Free is always a nice way to camp as long as you are self contained. The casino camper website provides lots of info and useful tips and a database of casino that welcome RVers. Our casino camping proved to be not only economical but scenic to boot. We always wondered how it is to start off on an RV lifestyle without any experience. Our interview with listeners Geoff and Ellyn give us some insight into their decision to sell the house and belongings, buy an RV and head out on the road. I am sure that you'll be interested in their decision making process and can do spirit as they move into their RV. UPDATE: It looks like their house has sold so they plan to be full timers by October 1st. Great news and good luck. As full timers you'd probably don't have to winterize the RV, but the rest of us in colder climates have to shut down the RV during cold weather (at least for a few months). We share our winterizing procedures and techniques with you during this October episode. Last major topic this month is my purchase of a new hand held GPS. Geoff showed me a cool feature of his hand held GPS, its ability to create tracks. Tracks map your movements on a map for later download. Put the GPS in your pocket and it follows you on your sight seeing for the day. Not only didn't my old GPS not do tracks, but it needed a full view of the sky to read the satellites. My new Garmin Oregon 300 tracks us almost everywhere - even indoors. Amazing. Once you have the tracks, your digital photos can be tied to a specific location using the GPS info. Digital photos have a data record called metadata where all sorts of info about the photo is kept - and a blank space for GPS coordinates. Unfortunately, most cameras do not have a built in GPS so this data is missing - until now. Once the track is downloaded, it can be easily synced with your photos AND plotted on a Google map.
