Geocaching

I have check out a few Geocache's the past few days. It is sort of a hobby that extends my work a bit. Unfortunately, I did not find them even though I was very close.

New Global Mapper

The newest version of Global Mapper has added a feature to get USGS aerials at no cost.

Mapping and Garmin

My "inexpensive" mapping GPS is a Garmin 76CX. I find the accuracy to be reasonable for my needs. You can use the Garmin's software to convert to shp files, or use DNR Garmin Developed by Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. DNR Garmin is hand little free program.
