Way to keep up the search.  I commend you for trying your best to find the owner.  Good karma coming your way.

I applaud your efforts.  One last approach you should try is contacting Garmin and giving them a serial number.  It is likely the owner registered the unit with them, and they may have contact info. 800-800-1020.

I thought the first thing "everyone" does when they get a new toy um GPS is put in your "home" location and check out how accurate it is?

Nah me either, lol

good on you for being honest and trying to find the owner.  Now if anyone finds one in Idaho,  area 10A that looks likes its been there a couple of years,  let me know.... I know who owned that.   :chuckle:

That's a great idea I had to register my unit in order to get support for the topo's and warranty!  :)

Was it on channel 5 code 15 or channel 15 code 5?

Are any of the contacts in it: "Old Nasty" Or something close to that, "Rick","Alex", or "Greg"?

If your on the MAP page you can go to the "Setup Map" menue, and change the display to display contacts.

To everyone that helped out with suggestions, thank you. I have found the owner and it is winging it's way to him via USPS as I write this.

Bull Canyon, thanks for getting me the info on the owner!

Wow!  Talk about the power of a network!  Good for you in keeping up the search.  I hope a few (like 5) cases of cold ones are headed your way from the owner!
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!
