And now find the Nearest McDonald's for a little food and a drink on a long cache trip
That's what the maps and POIs in my GPS are for.
Really now, do you plan all your bathroom and snack breaks before you leave home?
No but it does give me an idea of the area I am going to and it it easy to print these maps and the OS plug in for GE makes it even easier. 20 minutes at best to import a PQ save to Tomtom another 10 carry Tomtom as well as Garmin Ridiculous GE 3 minutes the lot.

It took me about 1 minute to duplicate it in Google Maps on site I can't even open Google Earth that quickly. I simply went to one of the pages clicked on show nearest in Google maps zoomed in and switched to satellite view.

I just don't understand why the desires of the paying members are never taken into account. This was just a slap in the face to us Premium Members who asked that this feature not be removed. No compromise, just cut it off and let them complain. No attempt to make it work, just cut it off and walk away.
What you need is some real competition so that you would have to learn what it means to please your customers or else they just go away.
I agree with your comments wholeheartedly and as for your second point there is no real competition so they can say stuff the customer they cant go anywhere else.

Dissapointed
, angry 
, pee'd off 
, upset and any other points you might light to make. One of the most usefull apps has now it seems has gone. and you know what it will make no difference TPTB will take no notice. As long as the money keeps coming in stuff the users. If I wasnt hooked on the game I would leave and THAT is what they know is most of the users on here.Thanks GC

HI RR
It will overwrite the file every time it it is the same file name that is.

It has been said that this woman was a vet so she should have known what to do with her dogs. I think I will give them a very wide berth from now on unless on a plate.

Now I have to search GE for the place I am looking for, get the location (GE was nice enough to add DD mm.mmm format that we use for caching) and then go to the website and wait for that map to load. Then if I want to see them in GE, i have to make the query for the area, dig it out of my email, load it to GSAK, then export it to GE. Gee whizz, that is so much easier than checking a little box.
You could simplify this process somewhat to:
- Get the coordinates from Google Earth
- Put them into the Pocket Query form
- Dig the query out of your email
- Drop the GPX file onto Google Earth
Still not as easy as a tick in a box is it.

If you are navigating to the way point, choose shortcuts, then compass and the fullscreen compass will be pointing the way to your new waypoint.
(the Colorado is a PITA for multis though.)
PITA?

Dont do it or you will be hooked and spend the rest of you life trying to find more :-).
or just enjoy the great sport of caching

The Google Earth kml has been discontinued
in the latest round of "improvements" -
I will add my disappointment at the loss of th GE kml I guess its a case of the powers that be cant be bothered if only a few use it (and that is a suprise as it is a very usefull tool).

Perhaps try and contact some of the other cache owners in the area and see if they would be willing to rescue the coin. Nearest active cacher owns GC18FZ5 and is called pôlli and was last online Monday, April 13, 2009. There are closer caches but the owners have not been on since 2007.

The temporary disable should only be used for short periods of time usually weeks rather than months so I would not consider PP request unreasonable no matter where they live. Also I dont think it could be changed to a virtual as these are not allowed anymore AFAIK.

I am of an age where my mum always to me "if you have nothing good to say dont say anything".
Well I am going to say something on this subject.
Thanks to the UK reviewers you are doing a great job.

It does take a GPS a certain time ...
Nice one Graculus I enjoyed reading that and found it very informative.

This is my first post – and I can tell you I am not impressed – Why is it that some people play the game by taking a geocoin or TB and drop off the same, and then others jest take and leave nothing.
I only have one cache, I started it off with a coin, it got swapped for a TB then the TB was taken with no equivalent dropped off. It looks to me like people are only interested in you cache if it contains either a coin or TB
Not impressed

Hi Paul,
Welcome to the game. I have been to 1 meet so far and really enjoyed it so can recomend this to get loads on info about the game.

This may apply only to the woodland trust but I for one will adopt this for any cache I place

I nearly answerd this but thought better of it with the attitude of the OP.

I would sugest you check google earth for a cache near to where you are staying and then create a PQ bassed on that then upload this to the Garmin. Maps may not work but the compas will point to the caches

Please enough of this drivel I unsubscribe from all of the other topics because of the bickering and backstabbing. I am subscribed to this so I know when updates to the maps are updated so please leave this topic for that.
Thank you
