Anyone else having issues with Wonders of the World? The aren’t searchable or referenced on any of my local caches.

Great comments and discussion. I did take my old Garmin Etrex HCx out and did a side by side with the GPSr and 2 iphones (one an Iphone X and another a 12 Max). I let them sit outside under a clear sky and the coords displayed were basically spot on. I think the comment about averaging with a GPSr is spot on. When I would place a hide with my GPSr I would average and let it sit for at least a few minutes and the coords seemed to be spot on. I plan on placing a waypoint in my yard with my GPSr and then track to with my iphones and see how close they get me. BTW, I completely forgot how to download gpx files to my old HCx. the new Garmin updater won't recognize the HCx because its too old. I remember having a 3rd party loader to load pocket queries back in the day but can't recall what it was. Anyone know of any good 3rd party programs to dump a gpx list to an old legacy garmin HCx?

So I'm going to serious date myself but I've been caching for years but started in the mid 2000's (2007 to be exact) which was before the iphone what it is today. I always cached with a Garmin handheld and download files to it and cached from there. Fast Forward to 2021 and after taking at least 7 good years off I'm primarily using my IPhone after just getting back into it. How many folks do it still old school with a handheld Garmin or whatever or do cachers primarily use a smart phone now. I just wonder how accurate the GPS is, seems like on my last few caches the coordinates were not as close as they used to be. I'm thinking that's because people are using their phone GPS to hide them and the coords are off from the get go.... I'll charge up the old Garmin and do a side by side to confirm my suspicions... Curious what other old school (or just plain old) cachers are seeing and doing.... RGnVA...

Thanks for the work that you did. I'll miss the map feature.

With the disk, if you can't tell, the guts are removed and the 2 halves come apart at the top giving the log a place to be inside the disk. Got this idea from a tv show I saw, a person smuggled dope on the inside of 3.5 floppy disks into a prison. Supposedly based on an actual case.

I would attach a magnet or two or magnetic tape to the back. Any flat metallic surface (under side of untility box [electrical, telephone, etc). It would definetly have to be somewhere out of the direct weather. the inside upper edge of the free periodical boxes (car trader, apartment finder, etc) also come to mind. Can you think of any other good places?

Just changed them to another location. How about now????

How about now?? There were showing up on my browser. Weird.....

Here's a couple that I'm going to release into the wild soon. #1 is from a key chain that I got at a trade show. #2 is pretty much self explanatory. #1 #2

I didn't find it but missed this by a couple of days. This would have been a heck of a find. This is from White Trail Rest Stop (GCJ81F) in Northern VA. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LU...fc-25ed543dfd74 Rick aka obxfshr

Had my first, second and third this weekend too. Went GCing while on a stream cleanup with my cub scout pack. The park has 3 caches and we thought it would be fun for the boys to search for them. Found 1 of 3 the first day, great success I thought. I was hooked at that point. Didn't sleep that night thinking about the other 2 (not joking, it really kept me up) . Went back the next day and found the other 2. Been looking for caches near work to hit during lunch and on the way home.
