  1. Hi-

     

    I was just wondering if there was a more efficient way for us to geocache. I feel like I may be missing some features of the 60csx or not using it to its full potential.

     

    Here is how we currently do it:

     

    1) Pick an area to cache in and do a PQ for that area.

    2) Put the files in GSAK and distribute to the 60csx and the notes to the iPod.

    3) Use to 60csx to auto-route to the first cache (this is often off and we end up driving around looking for an entrance to the park or something similar)

    4) Find a spot where we think we should park and stop the autonavigation.

    5) Switch off the City Navigator Maps and switch on the Topo map

    6) Select the cache again and see how far we are from it.

    7) Walk around until the distance away starts to go down

    8) If the distance starts to go up, turn and make it go down

    9) Repeat until the GPS says we are close

    10) Find the cache

    11) Write down the name in our notebook

    12) Profit!

     

    It seems like switching between the topo and nav maps may be a little overkill.

    I cant seem to figure out how to use the arrow that I am guessing is supposed to point in the direction we are supposed to go.

     

    Any help would be much appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    Matt

  2. ...I am a collector of live/legal concert recordings from various bands (Dave Matthews Band, Grateful Dead, Phish, etc.). These are generally fan recordings and some of them sound pretty good. The rules for these recordings are that they may be given away or traded as long as they are not in MP3 format. Would it be acceptable to leave these type of recordings in caches (burnt to CD) with a short note as to what they are? ...

     

    If they are legal, you are good to go. I don't know the rules on fan recordings and most folks won't. So a note with the CD would be advisable. It would not hurt to put that note inside the CD itself so that someone who passes it along without the note can find it.

     

    I may try it a few times and see if anyone comments. Thanks everyone!

  3. Is there any way to tell them apart??

     

    Not really other than the piece of paper that would be given with the recording explaining the taping policy and the notes from the taper as the example below:

    Do not sell, do not convert to lossy formats, do not remaster ect ect.

     

    Enjoy !!

    I know it is a strange concept to most that have never heard about it but it really is cool. I have been to quite a few concerts where bands allow taping. When you go you see microphone stands sticking up in the air 12 or 14 feet. It really is a cool thing to see.

     

    The biggest things the bands are concerned about is the selling of the music after it is taped. That is the big no no of the whole situation. I am an avid searcher of eBay for these bootlegs that people try to sell. I find them and report them.
