Our TomTom XL died while in Portugal earlier this year so I am looking to replace it. However, it looks as though none of the current TomTom models will take 3rd party points of interest. (Why are improvements always a step backwards? ) So, what can I use instead? Ideally I want it to have mapping for the whole of Europe - like our old one did and must be able to take POIs generated from the GSAK Macro. Thanks Mark

The answer to this question is NEVER The answer to this question is: because it's a substantial technical issue There you go... I know because I asked someone directly M

This email farce sinks to a totally new level though. I mainly view the website through my PC and I can correct all the stupid website enhancements using GreaseMonkey and AdBlockPlus I just came to do my regular deletion of emails and, where I used to be able to filter on [GEO] Notify to select all published cache notification I now have to search for each cache type - a real pain in the proverbial!! Setting up inbound filters is not appropriate because it just isn't, I don't want to and I shouldn't have to! :mad: :mad: M

Is that it then? Fight over? Groundspeak have won again by standing their ground and ignoring us and we are all powerless to do anything Another storming PR success..... M

Perhaps we ought to start flooding the facebook page because the Groundspeak staff seem to have abandoned this ship. https://www.facebook.com/geocaching?fref=ts M

The first line of THIS THREAD might go some way to explaining it... M

By some spooky coincidence, ebay have just changed the format of their emails. Guess what? They've switched to less wordy, more informative subject lines!!!

I think it's time Groundspeak ditched the stupid name 'lackey' as well. The name suggests that they do whatever is asked of them and that is clearly no longer the case..... M

Any idea why the subject lines are inconsistent? I was getting some about 5 hours ago which used the [GEO] Notify style, they've now reverted to the awful new guff again

The HTML format email really is pointless and tiresome It doesn't even look nice... Mark

Yay! The old subject line is back! Edit to say: Or not! Watchlist notifications were back to the old format. 'New cache' notifications aren't M

For one reason or another, I have another account with the watchlist sending emails to my works email. My work's email is the ONLY place I've seen where the whole subject is readable as it spans two lines. What email client is it? It's Lotus Notes and if Groundspeak are actually using lotus notes we should feel sorry for them...

Are you just trolling? M

One thing that amazes me is how, for years, Groundspeak have refused to implement 'nano' cache size using the excuse that it might break 3rd party apps. How many 3rd party apps are there exactly? And how many of those are Groundspeak approved anyway? Yet changes like this are rolled out on a whim without caring how many THOUSANDS of users it inconveniences. M

Our Geocaching account is a joint account between me and my wife. If it was just mine, I would just mark all these emails as spam and be done with it. This really is the most frustrating change that Groundspeak have ever made! At least the pointless website changes over the years have been fixable with GreaseMonkey and Adblock :mad: M

Agreed 100%! I normally skim through the email subject lines on my phone and I could see at a glance if there were any DNFs This new format is a REALLY REALLY BAD IDEA!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Jeeze! Those diabetes rings used to be in every other cache. Probably haven't seen one since 2008...

Doesn't work for me either Firefox on XP

Looks fine to me!

It's all down to individual reviewers. A cacher local to me in the UK listed a similar challenge in August 2009 (long before that Danish cache and long before guideline changes) and it was rejected. M

Thanks

If I try and edit my statistics settings I get this message: This user is in readonly mode. Why's that then? M

I agree with everyone except the OP However, such a challenge does exist in Denmark (we found it last year) Challenge: Own 5 Active Cache Types (GC2HW60) M

Although a many cacher seem to think ammo boxes are the only 'proper' cache container very few of the oldest caches are or ever were ammo boxes. Some even got 'upgraded' to ammo boxes at a later date. Also, they frequently aren't particularly waterproof either. Having said that, they are great and there's nothing quite like finding a 50cal box after a long walk and sitting down to examine the contents M

Yeah that makes sense I suppose. Thanks
