Morning Folks;
We bought a Garmin Etrex Venture HC to take with us and navigate in southern AZ prospecting and nugget hunting;
The problems we have are first we got the topo US 100K program and it is totally worthless and way to dificult to operate with or in or however you would word that. The screens on the computer even are about useless; Is there a good program that one can install on the computer and download into the GPS unit that is user friendly and more detailed; preferabllly one that is a internet download????
Second it comes to my memory there are two types of cordinates #s that one can run into??? I seem to remember having some cordinates for a location and using google earth to find it from my gps cordinates put me in a different place and was told one used one type and the other used another type system? Was I dreaming or is this fact and can someone explain??
Sorry for being so computer challenged but the wife is pretty good with computer stuff and this is driving us both crazy we would appreciate any references or anything to get our $ worth out of this gps .
Thanks very much for the help
