Cannot download Geocaches onto GPS
joesdolphins replied to jamin8's topic in GPS technology and devices
Your first mistake was buying a Lowrance. I bought mt gf that unit to try somthing new. It was a piece of junk and bought her a garmin Dakota 20 I use the garmin Colorado 400t. Take it back and go buy a garmin. Our just drop the gpx file from your pq. To the gpx file in your Lowrance. -

Challenges Counting as Finds
joesdolphins replied to ATXTracker's topic in General geocaching topics
challenges are stupid and the way they have it set up is dumb. Every one should complain.. -
If you have geocaches on your oregon connect your gps to your comp hit start select your gps click gpx files and delete your gpx files. diconect the gps and turn your gps back on all geocaches should be deleted. all geocaches are saved to gpx files delete the files and your unit is cleared out then add a new pocket querry to your gpx to reload.

Phone Apps and Urban GeoCaching
joesdolphins replied to LizLake323's topic in General geocaching topics
I made a puzzle cache where you had to solve by finding the Ether cache app and it told you where to find the cache Groundspeak just sent me a email and said no more ether caches will be published but mine will be grandfathered in GC2M1R7 Greetings joesdolphins, After further evaluation, Groundspeak has opted to not publish any more ethercaches. This cache will remain active and grandfathered in. There is no need to archive it unless it goes missing or has other issues that usually result in archival. Stay tuned to the forums as to further developments around ethercaches. Thanks, CTReviewer -

Garmin Colorado 400t - $300, worth it?
joesdolphins replied to Travis.Bach's topic in GPS technology and devices
I own the colorado 400t its the best gps out there to me if u geo cache, its just as accurate as the 60 csx i cache with people who own the 60 csx. The paperless caching rules. the only thing i dont like about the colorado for multi caches when u find the first stage and have to put in new coords u cant change the coords for the gpx file for the cache. u have to make a way point and edit it with the new coords for the second stage.So if your searching for the second stage and need the int you have to back out of screen your on and go back to the first stage geocache page for the hint again then back to the waypoint you made.That is the only thing wrong with it its awsome. The colorado is signal is great in the woods but the 60 csx can hold a sig insde any house my colorado somtimes looses signal in some houses. -
Garmin vs. Delorme... Newb Question
joesdolphins replied to mcgusto's topic in GPS technology and devices
I own a garmin Colorado and its the best gps out there next to the 60csx. I was able to do some caching with delorme pn-40 owner. My Colorado was more accurate when next to the caches. And the paperless caching is way better than the pn-40 the pn-40 didnt have all the cache discriptions and is not totally compadible with geocaching.com yet not until another firm ware update thats not out yet.Face garmin rules!! One other thing alot of people think the colorado still has problems. The unit is awsome garmin fixed all its problems with firm ware updates. Every revue i read on the colorado is old before all the updates. -
