Do the receivers show up on a digital map website? If the keys were left in my office, I could see the approximate location?

No they do not. You press the button on the remote control and the receiver/key fob/key chain is supposed to make a high pitched noise and you follow the sound to find your keys. In theory you think this might work, but there are many issues with this product. On each key chain there is a little on/off button on the side. This has to be on for it to work, but it drains the battery very quickly, like in a few days! The sound is very weak and the range is very limited. My husband could not hear the tone of the pitch, only I could and if there was any noise in the house at all you would have to shut everything off just to hear it. The concept is good, but the quality is very poor. Mine are still on my keys, but they are just that, a key chain. The rest sit unused.

As long as you have Wi-Fi, you're good. You can download the keymapping software from the company's website at: http://www.sharkoon.com/

I do not have a clue where the key insert is, I've looked everywhere but can't find it. I installed it before I looked for it so I have a feeling it may be in the back, although I'm not sure how that could work. The initial code is 12345678#

I think so. I havn't used that option, but I think I saw that on the enter location screen. I can check tonight on my way home.

I'm sorry, I can't help you with this one. I purchased a new unit but can tell you that all of the user information and map updates are readily available on the Garmin internet site.

Yes you can map with your finger on the display (our use your pc) anywhere in the world and it will follow the contours and show Google streets where available. Funily enough I ran through the streets of Rome yesterday and New York today.

Hi Christine, I don't remember trying to locate its position using my computer because I don't think it works. This unit is a GPS recorder. As such it does NOT send out any signal. So it cannot be located in real time. But since it records its locations, you can download its location file after a trip and find out where it went. Hope this reply helps. :-)

I would update the maps when you purchase it. I am still using mine with a few small glitches in the maps and it isn't a big deal, but I would update them if I were going to Europe. When I was in Italy in 2012 they worked flawless!

That's fine. I probably won't update it that often. Just as long as I can update it if I need to (I got the impression - right or wrong - that you need to buy a new receiver to get updated maps).

pretty sure u need an internet connection to download the maps, since they arent preloaded. but after they are, gps should work offline

You would have the coordinates to get you to the area. Then when within 50 feet or so ,if your GPS has the software for chirp and it is turned on, you will get whatever message that chirp is programmed with. It can be more coordinates or a hint to the next location, or the answer to a question to prove you found it. The are many possibilities.

It looks like that's the purpose of the POI Loader software that you can download for free from Garmin. http://www.garmin.com/products/poiloader/I doubt the added addresses would be routable, though.

Satellite mode? Explain what you mean please. GC will get your position and will show the closest caches, compass direction., and will show the caches on a map. The closer you get it shows how many feet you are away, if you Like you can set a beep to notify when you get close to ground zero

There should be several little fold-over booklets inside the box. One of them has the product keys.

Additional comments!: I looked up the mailbox and it seems to have a significant number of changes that address my "issues." I see that they give you three keys now and the keys look different, so maybe they can be copied more easily. Also, it shows that bottom plate in one of the side pictures and it's obvious that it could be mounted on a column. Probably likely that's how it's mounted most of the time. The issue of delivery of large packages is still there, though, as you can see from the picture with it open. I hope that's more helpful.

Yes. There is a basic base map in your GPS which will show you where you are.
