I have been using this PDA for a while now. Pick up a BlueTooth GPS, like this one here. I have 21 of these combinations at work, and farmed out. They currently use pocket streets, and some HP Navigation software on them. I create a pushpin file for Pocket Streets from a GPX, but don't use it to locate the cache itself... I also dump my GPX's to MobiPocket, and have the necessary content with me at all time.. no paper ever....

I wrote my own app quite a while back that does something along those lines... I chop the first two characters off of the Cache ID (GC) and replace them with the the cache type and size (ie: TR = Traditional Reqular). This way, when I create the file for my Meridian, I can see from the waypoint what type I am heading for, and it gets me by the 200 waypoint (with comments) limit. I also produce the Mapsend file, Mappoint, PocketStreets the same way.... I don't change the Cache ID when I create the EBook version, but the table of contents shows it, the last log status, the type and size.....

ACCCCKKKKKKK I'm a maroon Thx.... (MUST TAKE HEAD OUT OF SAND)....

Oh yeah, is this new type also going to be added to the grounspeak extensions...?

Do you have a place where we can download this 'test' GPX, or do I have to run one myself on this (and burn one for today )?

I'd wait a little before dropping any sum of cash for a GPSr. Thales released the eXplorist model with no-cable, etc.... they really are not that crazy, there is more in the line coming... Buy something cheap, then see what comes from Thales in the next couple of months...

Ok, forgive me here, now I am a little confused Which is the one we're gonna see from now on? I made a quick change to my own app, and now would like to know which to use... Thx Jeremy. Edit: Never mind, I'll account for both in my app, as it sounds like you are making changes in the tables anyways....

It needed the reboot, my PQ just came through. Once again, Elias, YOU THE MAN!!!

Now that was an answer! Thank-you Elias. I'm all for tonque-in-cheek, but Jeremy, for a minute there I was wondering what you had for lunch , or was that what I had for lunch , or....

Ok.... But with daylight savings, its still wrong, it doesn't fall back until October....

The Unknow Cache type has changed to 'Unknown (Mystery) Cache'

What time zone is the Groundspeak server in? I'm PST, and my posts show about an hour earlier than the actual post times....

I recieved one shortly before noon (PST), however, I haven't received anything for my latest one that I created around 30 minutes ago...

Thx KA. Edit - Closing the topic.

I noticed a layout problem with the cache pages, not really a problem, but just a visual nusance. If there are multiple TB's listed on the cache page, the disclaimer overwrites the links. (IE maximized, res at 1024 x768). Here is an example: GC96B7 As I said, just an FYI.

A big, bad server will only last you so long, if the real problem is the DB. Thought about looking at other DBMS solutions, besides MS?

Congrats on the 25 events Snoogans! I have yet to attend one, gonna have to get off my duff and meet some more of the local cachers....

Dang I miss Tim Hortons.... I've used mine to plot trails, and survey stakes back home. Around here, I track the trails, and re-plot on NG Topo (just 'cause I like maps)...

Then someone took it and signed the log LN.... Seriously though I would do what everyone else above has said, and if it had actual good trade items in it, well then you're in a pickle, but I would take a couple and drop them in another cache...

I'm not sure which GPSr you use, but the Magellan Color does indeed only use the external antenna when connected. A quick easy way to verify is to cover the GPSr. I put together an antenna with some spare parts I had at work, and use it with my color when driving. I get both WAAS satellites when travelling to and from work, with an EPE of 7 feet, the whole way. Combined with DirectRoute, it rocks... Now I only wish that my Plat had the external connector as well.

I suggest that on all of the enabled screens, have the Distance and EPE as selected fields, at a minimum. I also use the map until I'm within about 100 feet, then switch to the compass...

Don't use MMC cards. They won't work. Stick with the SD cards only....

Ok, thanks, now I have to hose down my keyboard.... chunks everywhere......

Ackkkkkkk, you know, I'm kinda for freedom of expression, but ponder this, when he has an itch, what does he do? When he gets to the cache, what does he do with his hands? I'm about to blow chunks here..

Count me in too Jeremy, and thanks for the heads-up!!!!
