I wouldn't call that junk. You might want to put each in a small ziploc type baggie just to keep it clean and dry. I know a number of kids (and some adults) who would love to get one of those RPG dies. It is sad that cache owners can take a long time to address issues such as a full log book. I carry around a mini composition book like the picture below for notes but also so I can tear out a page to use as a makeshift log in case the cache log is full. I tear out a sheet sign it and try to place it together with the full log (or maybe soaked log). I don't use a paperclip or anything though. I also make a point in my online log to say I had to do so.

GCDroid and GDAK are both good Android apps

I was trying to find a cache whose name is simply ! (https://coord.info/GC1C6WP) in Tallahassee Florida. I went to Play and chose Find a Cache. I typed in Tallahassee, Florida in the search box and got a list of caches. I then clicked Add Filers and changed the miles to 20 and typed in ! into the Geocache Name Contains ... box. Then I clicked on the Search button and it said nothing matched my search. What gives? I read through the FAQ but couldn't find anything.

I am having same problem. Cannot get favorite to stick. Finally got it to work by using the API via GSAK. There is definitely an issue here.

If this has come up before then sorry. I tried searching the forum using different keywords but kept getting so many hits that it was impractical to read through every search result. Maybe I am missing something, but if I go to my List Management page and then click a bookmark list to edit it there is no direct way back (no link I can find) to the List Management page. If I don't actually make any edits then I can use the back button on my browser to go back but if I make some deletions and additions then it takes several or more back clicks to get back to the List Management screen. I did find a two click way to do it by clicking my user name at the top and then clicking the Lists link again but still this is two clicks instead of one. I would like to see a link at the top of any page within the bookmark list editing process to have a link at the top and/or bottom that takes me back to my List Management page.

Have you tried this GSAK macro?

I see that GC1ZJKZ was the cache you were looking for. The hint may help you a bit. Also, like others have said, it is helpful to look for larger caches when you are new to the game.

I use a Blackberry with CacheSense in conjunction with my Vista Hcx. I really don't have a preferred device as both are equally accurate except in really heavy cover. It is mostly that the phone battery does not last when I have CacheSense on so unless I am doing some quick urban caching I turn on CacheSense just to double check the cache description, logs, hints, etc. and also to log field notes to geocaching.com. I otherwise keep the phone in my pocket so keep it safe from harm.

So many caches, so little time...

I have used a Vista HCX for 7 years. Great unit. I don't think it is the GPSr. Hang in there, it gets easier with practice.

Maybe this one?

This one is close buy not quite.

Adding the column is helpful to see what is corrected, but not necessary. You can also add corrected coordinates simply by right clicking the cache and choosing 'Corrected coordinates' from the context menu.

I tried "jasmer site:geocaching.com/seek" (without the double quotes) in google and almost every single result returned in the first few pages was a direct link to a Jasmer challenge cache page. Could the issues with Google be some kind of international thing? Edit: I updated the Google search to be "jasmer site:geocaching.com/seek/cache_details" and this returned only cache page links

After some more experiments I think I might have hit on something. If the search phrase is more that 3 characters then it works. If less than 4 characters then it only returns caches with that exact name. Oh, and trailing spaces are apparently removed before doing the search (and don't count in the character count).

I searched for "40 --" and got "40 -- Prime or Not Prime". I searched for "PC L" and got "PC LOAD LETTER". Maybe it is an issue with searching for exactly the first word? How crazy is that?

Super idea. Not only would it help to weed out 'spoiler' photos, but it allows a CO to enjoy others photo experiences more easily.

I recommend CacheSense

I recommend trying out CacheSense for Android

According to this site, most people got their packet on o around January 28th.

Try this site. I am not sure exactly how the calculations are done but I think it add the letters by their numbers and then adds the digits and then keeps doing this until there is one digit. So for example if you had ZOO then you would have 26+15+15=56 then add the digits of 56 so 5+6=11 then add the digits of 11 so 1+1=2 so the result is 2 since we are down to one digit.

From Google itself: Maybe people are just more out finding them than searching about them

I don't know what app you use, but not all apps require phone/data service to use them on the phone. For example, CacheSense (Android and Blackberry) allows you to load a GPX file from Geocaching.com and then it works much like a handheld paperless GPSr from there. If you do not have a data connection then CacheSense disables all the features that require it. The GPSr functionality of a cell phone does NOT require a data or voice connection to work properly. Of course, using CacheSense in this way requires a little planning to download the caches in the area you will be in before heading out, but a handheld GPSr has the same requirement.
