I have emailed Groundspeak and they said I need to post here.
My suggestion was that in the map view of caches of an area you have the choice to hide various caches, your own or finds. I have asked if it is possible to have a check box to hide archived/unavalible caches. Would this be of help to you too??

Thanks looks fabby:D

amongst the usual things I also have to carry spare trousers for the toddler

I bought some the other day for lunches...but dh and ds1 thought they were for caches.......but will probably buy more later for caches....4 for £2:50 not bad (lock and lock small neat ones)

cache in my garden.....more likely to be muggled. I hope as a newbie I have approached the trackables in the right mind.....have only collected a couple...and appealling to the children was one thing (and by mistake another)...I also try to note what was there when I left home, so to try and move older things, and also try to place in frequented caches where poss. I hope that it is ok to discover coins etc and not take as we try to have only 1 or poss 2 in our hands at a time?? We have a fair few micros close to us, so a cache big enough may take an outing, though a new tb hotel has been published fairly close to us and will help if we cannot get out. Also what happens/do I do when I visit a cache and there are no trackables but there are on the cache page, apart from noting this in my log. I once emailed an owner...who was grateful, but this cannot be prudent as one cache I visted was empty and the coin taken a while ago and not logged (as in picked up from the cache page)......is this the owners responsibility???
Enough waffle...hope that this makes sense.

Heritage Open Days celebrates England's fantastic architecture and culture by offering free access to properties that are usually closed to the public or normally charge for admission.
Linky (ties in nicely with the current Garmin - Visit England promotion too)
We took advantage of this last year and visited a couple of excellent sites while out caching. Made for a nice cheap day out, what with he credit crunch an' all this year!
Have fun.
thank you .. off to look

Congrats and well done

I've just had a quick look at your profile and I see that you haven't had any dealings with geocoins before
You must use the number actually on the coin itself to log it, not that reference number on the geocoin's page (i.e. not TB1TQ40).
Go to the geocoin's page, then top right side click on "Found it? Log it!". In the drop-down, select the "Retrieved from..." option. In the box "Travel Bug Tracking #" you must put the number which is on the geocoin . Then add any comments and click "Submit Log Entry".
Hope this might help!

Thanks....we have vouchers for halfords so may go there for a car sat nav...would love a pda, but the one that would be best is out of our reach....so will have to stick to the garmin, printouts (that get recycled) and the map.
Thank You all for your help, most appreciated

Interesting reading this is
-
Will consider....need to look at costs etc....bit far for my brother to tow the caravan and come home again
....btw...as a newbie what does a ME entail? -
Many thanks Chris. Much appreciated
-
OK....so what does a PDA do and what is Memory Map, Cachemate
Sorry - technically challenged here
-
I'd go TomTom (try Yoda.... "at the junction next left you will go"..... I went back to Jane
)As to maps all sat navs use maps from a couple of companies... Navteq is one and I think Teleatlas the other so in theory the actual accuracy and detail of the map should be the same on any unit. But I don't know how each manufacturer interprets the map for their product.
But I'm happy with my ancient TT One!

Thanks...Yoda
...Mr S would love that (Starwars nut you see) -
Interesting.....I have been told that the Garmin maps are better than Tom Tom
Wonder if we can get Simpsons on the navigation.....be saying 'Doh!' a lot

aka Sat Nav
Sorry if asked many times before, but here goes.Any Recommendations/Should Avoid for an in car gps which will take co ords?? Staff in one shop looked at me rather puzzled when they knew what I was talking about....then a member of staff knew about geocaching...YAY...
Mr S and I feel this would be a good investment as we often drive around and around streets looking for the gz using the handheld Garmin. Right now you have sat back down after laughing yourself silly at that
Can you help, point us in the right direction (no pun intended honest )Budget is tight so sadly cannot afford a lot!
Thanks
