Another geocaching Christmas, this time with travel bugs!

Geocaching_travel_bug Last year I reported on a geocaching Christmas, now a firmly ensconced family tradition. For those of you not familiar with geocaching, it's a way to have fun with your GPS and get kids out of the house and hiking. And if you just got your first GPS, geocaching is a great introduction to GPS navigation.

This year we found several caches while in North Carolina, including Decaying Tunnel which had a couple of travel bugs in it. My nephew took one to Indiana and I took the other to California.

Daisy Mae Duck is the lucky bird that hitched a ride to California, where she awaits her next trip at Ploverlook in MacKerricker State Park. According to Daisy Mae's web page, she wants to travel and see places like Florence, Tuscany, London, Australia, New Zealand and Germany. If you can help her out, give her a lift.

Garmin Training Center software for Mac OS X Garmin has announced that Garmin Training Center software is now compatible with Mac OS X. Garmin will be distributing complimentary CDs at Macworld from January 8-12. Most users will need to wait until late January 2007 though, when they will be able to download the software for free at http://www.garmin.com/products/trainingcenter. Garmin Training Center software is compatible with Garmin's Forerunner and Edge series of fitness GPS receivers. Previously, Garmin had announced that it intended to make all its hardware and software Mac compatible by the end of 2006, but they have missed that target. MotionBased.com, owned by Garmin, has been supporting Macs since March 2006. Garmin Edge and Forerunner reviews Maps, Macs and GPS
