Hampster gone to the dark side!

Postby sledgehampster on Wed Nov 05, 2008 1:08 pm

I sold my Magellan stuff and got a Garmin Nuvi 205W. Ordered From Amazon.com Saturday and got it today.WebUpdater is cool, better than Magellan's Magup. Already registered it and installed available updates. Changed vehicle to NASCAR Craftsman Truck!

Gonna try Pilotsnipes Nuvi Macro tonite and install geocaches on it. Really excited!!!

Hey Sledge!

The Mrs. got me a Nuvi 255W for Christmas. Can you guide me to the links to make it geocache capable & change the little car icon?

Any more hacks you can share as well? I know you probably have a few up your sleeve somewhere. :roll:

Thanks!

Grid,
You have a USB cable that will fit it? The tutorial from pilotsnipes is
True Paperless Caching

For vehicles that are not already in your Nuvi go to http://www8.garmin.com/vehicles/

I am still learning about this one so as I do I will pass it on to ya. I get off at noon tomorrow if you wanna get together.

Thanks!

Took me a bit to actually comprehend how to make it all work but I "think" I got the gist of it.

Now I just got to find time to get out and grab some caches! :roll:
