I'd like to get started but really have no experience with GPS. Im basically a 'hopefully get lucky at this spot" kind of guy ( and many times, not too lucky..) But I would seriously like to get a decent GPS system and start some serius research. How would I go about getting old maps for my neck of the woods with Lat. & Long. to cross reference to newer maps and GPS? Ive tried to research on the web but havent really gotten satisfactory results. I could defineately use some guidance as far as getting it together to actually give me some results.Again..I am willing to ;earn, but always thought it would be beyond me, I hope Im wrong. Thanks for taking the time to read, and HH to all...Chris NY
 
Here's a link to software you can buy. I thought Ozi Explorer was a shareware program but may not be any longer.

I use Fugawi for my old maps. The GPS included with the Minelab Explorer Special offer right now works fine. Tested one out today. It's just a Garmin Geko 101. Your homework is just that. Done at home with any old map you can find. Stick the lat-longs in your pocket with the GPS and you're on your way.

Here's the Minelab offer right now. Not telling you to get a Minelab but look how affordable GPS's have become... http://www.minelab.com/specials.htm

Hopefully Andrew will be around tomorrow to set you guys straight.. :)

Please see the post "My first receiver" which I started to type as my reply to you but decided that others may benefit from reading it.
