I've used it many times over the holidays! Thanks for this post. I have been typing this stuff into my GPS by hand! PS great ministry with the youth. Post a Comment. This is all about the geocaching adventures of Sokratz. What does "geocode" mean and now is it going to help me?
Geocoding is the process of converting an address like 1st St into a set of coordinates expressed in Latitude and Longitude. I suppose that's not really correct, though. There is no "conversion" going on. Goecoding really finds a set of coordinates for a given address. In my testing I found it to be fairly accurate - at least close enough for me to get where I need to go. How it will help you depends on what you're trying to accomplish. In my case, I work with the youth group at my church.
Sometimes I provide rides to or from various activities and have to pick them up or take them home. I know these kids and their families very well, but that doesn't mean that I know how to get to all of their homes.
I also don't know their addresses off the top of my head so just typing their address into the GPS isn't always an option, either. So with the problem in mind I set out to find a solution.
This article describes what I found. As I thought about the problem I came up with a basic set of steps that I thought I would need to do. Get the address data I needed 2. Format the data into proper format - whatever that meant 3. Geocode the addresses 4.
Seemed pretty simple, I guess. Thanks in advance for the feedback. The Venture HC has no memory card slot. I want to use maps The Legend HCx has the good performance of both, has the memory card slot and doesn't have the electronic stuff.
Thanks for the feedback. The eTrex Legend HCx seems to be a good fit. Anyone else have thoughts? Granted there could be some user error involved.. The Vista and Legend will accept them, while the Venture does not. What does that mean for you? That's called paperless caching! No need to carry extra equipment like a PDA or reams of paper with your caches, because it can all be loaded on the same machine. You can do a search on paperless caching, or POI and find the string that discusses how to do it.
I find this aspect of the Vista I own or Legend very important and useful to me. Just my three and a half cents. Search for a cache How do I log my first geocache find?
