    Sorry, I know this has been brought up, but I can't find it.

    I want to find caches in my area that are for members only, so please once again, 1 or more of

    you calm cool headed folks send me somewhere.

    Thanks again,

    Dennis

    I think what you are looking for is how to use the AVG on your waymark page.

    I have the HCx Vista also and all you do is:

    Markwaypoint and then on the bottom left of the page you will see "Avg"

    Hit this button and lay the GPS down where you want the cache to be, wait 2 or 3 min's and it will give you your avg.

     

    you can also approach the cache from diff directions and write down the coords from each approach. I prefer the avg key.

    Hope this helps

    As crazy as it sounds, I used to think I was kinda smart until I started comming here.

    Now I have to learn:

    PQ's, GSAK, Cachemate, How to log, and the list goes on....I did buy the idiots guide to geocaching, and I am still an idiot.

    I intend to leave it in a cache when I am finished with it, hope someone wants it..

    Keep asking/searching and the knowledge will come

    PQ 101?

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    Thanks again for all the help, my main prob was I didn't have my owner ID, and it was hard to find, I did visit the GSAK forum and they got me through that part.

    I am now trying to work with filters so I am sure I will be back to visit here and GSAK.

     

    Miragee, I saved your tutorial so I may be able to do my filters without bothering anyone else.

     

    Again, Thanks very much

    PQ 101?

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    Thanks for all the help.

    I cannot believe this is whipping me so bad.

    I finally got the 3 I wanted into my palm, (not sure how) I did use the bookmarks and it seemed to work better, just slower.

    I am now trying to find out how to filter!!!!

    I have 200 listed but when I filter by distance it says there are no waypoints entered, I am trying to use my location as GZ but ...

    Also, how to I change from KM to miles, I have been looking on GSAK forum but so far no info.

    Again thanks for all the help and if you know of a source link besides GSAK please let me know.

    Thanks, Dennis

    P.S. My Son and I did find the 3 I DL'ed

    PQ 101?

    Thanks for the help, I was able to get part by changing from coords, However..

    I have loaded into GSAK 5 files, but only my finds, when I ran another PQ and previewed it looked fine.

    When I unzipped and tried to load into Gsak it had message:

     

    Totals

    Waypoints in file(s) loaded 0

    Additional child waypoints not added because no matching parents 11

    Show full change log

    Waypoints in each file

    1594654-wpts.gpx (children) 11

     

    There should have been 100 matches, not sure where the 11 came from

    Any help would be great, i'm about to pull the rest of my hair out!!!

    I just became a prem member and tried to run my 1st PQ

    However, when I try to review it says sorry none found, or something like that.

    I had it search for any within 100 mi of home coords, so I know there are plenty there.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Downloading helpful geocaching programs?

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    Not trying to keep you from becomming a member but, I have been using Garmin.com and going to go geocache, it is linked to Seek geocache so it has the same as you will find here.

    You select all the ones you want on a page and click DL. Very easy.

    I am still using it for now, but when My Pilot M505 gets here I will sign up for premium

    Hope this helps

    Vista HCX Trip Odometer FIx?

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    Here are my findings after upgrading Vista HCx to 2.60

     

    1. While using track log in vehicle, MPH is same as truck. ODO readings after 20 miles are 0.4 mi over the

    Trucks odo., not to bad for 20 miles I guess, could also be truck ODO??

     

    2. Walking less than 1.1 MPH and it will not read movement, however it will still lay the track properly.

    If you spped up it will sometimes add in the distance lost but not the time stopped, It will not always do this though.

     

    That is all I have found so far, not sure if this is good info or not.

    Any Free Maps Available ?

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I DL the garminmapsearch but it wouldn't open. It says it doesn't know what program creaded it.

    When I copy to Map source it wouldn't copy, it said this is not a mapsource product.

    Will it open if I put it on my SD and put in GPS?? Or is something else wrong?

    Trying to put in on Vista HCx

    Thanks

    Dennis
