I don't know if this topic has been covered, but I found an old mill site way back in the woods about 4 months ago. I brought my Garmin with me and used it to track where I hunted and to pinpoint on a map exactly where this mill was. I also marked each good find that I made. I wanted to be able to view it on a satellite map. I downloaded Google Earth, the free version, and bingo, I had a satellite image with all my tracks on it. Cool stuff. I did not know this was possible until just a couple days ago. Bryan
 

I've used my 60CS for similar hunts. I locate a old home location on one of the early 1900's paper topo maps and then find the same geographical location on the Garmin topo maps on my PC. I mark a waypoint at the spot and then transfer it to the GPS. The last time I did this I backpacked my equipment for almost 5 miles and walked right up to the cellar hole I was hoping to find.
