no - but you should ask the airline if it's allowed to used a GPSr if you don't want to get into trouble

Pflaume!

Maybe word didn't count some breaks/spaces anyway - why didn't you post an additional note Got the same problem here

As usual the French have to copy something what the world uses and give it a different name: www.cistes.net That's why they don't have many geocaches. As tobsas already mentioned this map is the right one for Strasbourg. Since most of the caches close to it are in Germany it doesn't really matter that you see only the area east of Strasbourg.

They use maps - very nice maps: Bavaria Munich Northwest Hesse Potsdam ... and so on

Yep! Great Idea! Germany got quite a few and an own category would be a perfect!

Just ask the Owner - almost every German geocacher can speak english.

These devices exist but due to the fact that it's obviously useful for any military action it's very hard to get them.

Hmm?!? Before you placed The Nightsea Cache? Anyway - some guys found one of my nightcaches also during the day but the had to do some extra kilometres. To be exact: 6 km extra ...

That sounds interesting. How did you find them? Were they supposed to be found at night or not?

I don't think so:

Thank you all for the replies. The idea of the Nightsea Cache is a really good one! Just the next question came into my mind: Which one is the first nightcache that uses reflectors and inaccurate coordinates? I'm asking because nightcaching has a real boom during this summer in southern Germany. You'll find them on this list under Bayern (= Bavaria).

Well here's my question: Which cache is the very first nightcache? Couldn't find anything ... (I'm talking about caches which can be found only at night due to reflectors, alarm clocks or something else - I'm NOT talking about caches which are fun if you search them at night but you don't have to)

There are 4 (!) things some of you mix up: OS Grid Lat./Lon. WGS84 and OSGB36 OS Grid and Lat./Lon. are type of grids. NN 35538 71020 (a place somewhere in Scotland) is the very same spot like N56° 48.104 W004° 41.618 IF you use the same map datum for both grids: OSGB36 which is an old british one. The Waypoint 56° 48.097 W004° 41.697 with the datum WGS84 is the very same spot as well. If you're completely confused now you should google for map datum and map grid ...

There's nothing about a Muli-/Offsetcache but use common sense.

1. If it's a USA Geocoin just log it like a TB. If not you'll have to look for the website where the coin can be tracked 2. Ask the Owner - if it's a trackable coin you'll find him

Well that's a personal TB - ok the part with the tatoo is really tough Here are some more "normal" pTBs: http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=74430 http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=28975 http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=60966 ...

I'd also agree that #F6FDEE hasn't enough contrast to the white rows. DCFED7 is perfect Or maybe some blue (#79b3f2) >> just kidding grün und blau schmückt die sau ...

Try Irfanview it can do batchconversions of images. Just press "B" and you're in the right dialog

It's just my purse:

At this cache you walk from reflector to recflector without any coordinates? Strange - the nightcaches I know have reflectors but every reflector can be seen from specific coordinates which you get at the previous reflector ... In order to answer your question - I wouldn't call it a geocache although it is fun (which applies for a lot of activities).

ok here we go: Someone at least tried to give coordinates - there's not a description like "Find the cave named XY and find the cache inside". In my eyes it's a geocache So did I get this right? To find the cache you have to follow some clues because the coordinates are useless? In my eyes it's a Letterbox (which might be listet on gc.com as it) Well coordinates are given - you might use your GPSr even it's dangerous. In my eyes it's a geocache If you want to you can use your GPSr - other things might be better to find the cache but theoretical you can find it with your GPSr as well. In my eyes it's a geocache. That's the point - if the given coordinates are only the parking lot (or something like that) which can be found with every map and from there on you have to follow clues, some other technical device or whatever but not a GPSr I wouldn't call it Geocaching. There might be exception like above where other things like maps are used but also here coordinates are part of the game. The german discussion startet about a specific cache where you have to take a bearing to the cache with some radio-equippment. Yes there is a cache but there are no coordinates except the place where to start. In my eyes this cache crossed the line between geocache and not geocache - although it's a great idea and very good technical solution... but that's only my opinion.

I'm asking for an opinion and state mine - that's different from complaining

Some of you didn't get it: What I meant were caches which you can't find with a GPSr even if you want to. I know that a lot of of caches can be found without a GPSr but if you want to you can use for most of them your GPSr at least for a part of the way. Got it? So do you still think that caches where you can't use a GPSr at all (beside finding the parking lot) should be listed on gc.com?

Can a Cache be called a Geocache if using a GPSr isn't helpful at all? I'm not talking about caches which can be found without GPSr if you're clever enough - I'm talking about caches where you can leave your GPSr at home since it isn't usefull at all. e.g. if you need some radio-equipment to find a cache and none part of the cache can be found through coordinates, is it still a geocache? There's a thread in a German speaking forum about this topic. So what do you think? Sorry if this is a double-post but I didn't find anything in the history/faqs
