The Great Magellan GPS Adventure
The GEOCACHE hunt is on!!
Magellan, in partnership with Thales' Navigation business has created the 3rd annual GPS Geocache hunt throughout the United States. They have hidden over 30 Geocaches all throughout the United States in 30 different cities (and 5 in Germany).
The idea is that you follow an interactive ficitional story about a father and his son tracing their family routes throughout the United States. They come upon scenic places and memorable faces. It's YOUR job to find these places and if you do, and you're the first to get there, a 1st place prize awaits...Prizes range from Trips to GPS packages.
Beginning on Monday, May 23rd, and lasting until the contest ends, it's all in promotion of their new GPS units, the Magellan eXplorist™ 400
, eXplorist™ 500 and eXplorist™ 600.Want to get started? Follow the Methodshop.com Geocaching Tutorial.

yeah - it will work in your van...there's car hookups for almost every mid-price range gps unit out there...They're mainly used for Driving and Hiking...I've found that driving in the cities though, you often get worse reception because of the buildings...

to upgrade the RAM in your

But for New Orleans’ Down – made up of Ex-Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, Corrosion of Conformity guitarist Pepper Keenan, Crowbar guitarist Kirk Windstein, and Eyehategod drummer Jimmy Bower – there has been something special that has kept them unified for over 15 years.
What’s
the point of downloading your favorite songs on iTunes if they

chagrin of my neighbors, is truly phenomenal.
