WHO-DEY

yes, it is my choice. My money is still in my pocket. I am good with it. Regrding the redundancy of the comments I made. Sometimes the dead horse gets the attention it deserves. I did not really want to get anything that promotes FTF hounds anyway. se la vi.

I apreciate the information, but I will address this to the magazine, and not PayPal. THE MAGAZINE CHOSE PAYPAL for their hopeful subscibers to use. It is their business design.

there's three that were off. ANYONE ELSE off with the 3.6 upgrade?

Michigan Cacheman - I live in your neck of the woods, Zeeland. Part of the reason you may be frustrated, I believe, is because we have a series of LAZY cachers around us. And unfortunately, they lazily (if that is a word) place LPC's and micro's all over. Manyof those caches are placed without permission. And many are eventually removed for that very reason once they are discovered by the store or land owners. Even some cachers have placed multicaches that end with micro container are consuming whole parks with all the stages. There are micros that are consuming parks that no child will likely want to visit for a geocache, because it is just (in my son's, and my son's caching buddies words) a small boring micro. Many times around West Michigan, a location that had a regular size cache placed, but was eventually muggled or container damaged in need of replacement, was downsized to a micro...no idea why. Holland is riddled with micros by the same handful of people. It is humurous. I undertsand there is a place for micros, but when is enough enough? Anyway, to answer your direct question, I am of the belief that an altoid container or a 35 MM can IS a MICRO. No doubt. And I am with briansnat in saying the log is for CO feedback as much as anything. If the owner cannot handle that kind of log, well, than that is another issue. Atleast other cachers that read logs will know the corrected size etc. I tag need maintenance all the time.

well, there were two of us, both had seperate 400t's, both were having the same reaction. That is why I posted here. Hoping I am the only one, actually. Anyone else?

I have a 400t. My buddy does as well. We both are on 3.60. We cached Sat and Sunday..the accuracy seems to be pointing me 30 feet or so OFF. We did 17 caches, and in many many cases we were directed to be like 30 feet away from the cache. Accuracy was in the mid to low teens. It was a bugger all day. And the weather was C O L D but clear and sunny. We did noth woods and P/G and LPC's so it was the unit for sure. ANYONE ELSE HAVE ISSUES SINCE 3.6?

well, I was seconds from ordering, until I saw it was 'auto-renew" deal. Therefore, I am out. if it ever changes, I and a few others I know will do it. But not as an auto renew subscrition....

Regardless of what folks think of this magazine (it's name, etc., etc.) why don't we all agree that distributing scans of the magazine will do nothing more than destroy what appears to be a solid attempt at a nice publication. If you aren't willing to toss out the $12, then enjoy the content on their website (if the mag's successful that will likely grow) and continue getting your daily Geocaching news and stories right here at the forums. So disheartening to think that our society has grown to feel that illegal digital distribution is 'OK' while most folks would never walk into a store and stuff a copy of the magazine in their pants and walk out without paying. Not much difference really... but that's where we are unfortunately. Dude, I just wanted to see what it looked like, relax. for all some of us know, it is done on newspaper material. This is not PirateBay...I was curious if it was worth my $12 bucks or not. I asked for "a scan", not "scans" or a "scanned copy of all the pages magazine". Your reply was ridiculously off base from my request.

how about a scan of the silly named, but apparantly cool magazine?

WHAT ARE FTF'S? I did not see anything in the "rules" about them. I guess they are just made up for fairy tales. Not legit. HMM.

I just got it in the mail from REI. Here it is all set up in my truck. I used it with the AKRON vent mount ($5 amazon) If I get lost now..it is surely my own fault. My son thinks it is cool...so that is all I need. I can now cache "hands free" or at least a little safer..both hands on the wheel.

no kidding. One less LPC with a micro would be a good thing. Cachers would have to get creative and be responsible for their cache hides. (man, that sounds mean..sorry)

The eighty's just stopped by, they want the phrase "to the max" back.

I saw a $8.00 adapter made by Garmin at REI in downtown Seattle the other day that slides onto the back of the Oregon and has the ball socket for the regular suction mount that comes with the Nuvi. It shows unavailable on the REI.com site (URL)but there are at least a half dozen in the main Seattle store. Target seems to have the cheapest price for additional suction mounts (ala what came with the nuvi, without the bracket that connects to the GPS itself) for $12.99 or $14.99 - the back of the unit does not mention the nuvi but it sure looked like the same mount that came with my Nuvi. THANK YOU! I called the REi in Seattle. Great people. They got me one on the way from their store. Under $15 shipped. THANKS YOU GUYS!! (and gals)

I AM GLAD i AM NOT THE ONLY ONE...

They already do - I have two right here. Will see if I can find the part number. I bought mine separately but here's a kit which includes the mount. Garmin Oregon Car Kit I have seen that kit in the pioture before. so if I were to buy this (abopve) and take the clip off the suction mount, attached to my Orego...it would pop into the NUVI mount/ball?

when will they have a mount for the Oregon that will be"swappable" with the one for the NUVI? Ya know...the one that pops in over the ball of the auto mount..or windshieldmount? If there is one..lemme know..but have not seen one.

ONE THING: ON a multicache. using the new dashboard - "geocache-ACTIVE" there is a wierd thing. WHen I select to go to a Waypoint, for a stage of a waypoint...the dashboard does not change to track with the waypoint. It stickes with the Geocache, or the stage one. So the map ill have the magenta line tracking to the waypoint...but the distance to cache and the compass are goofy...as they are looking to stage one...always. I guess it makes sense ... but it is frustrating for multi's...FYI, I guess.

I have a 400t. Went from 3.42 to 3.5 with zero issue. All works, all magenta "go to" lines are there. ONLY running Stock 400t TOPO no cityNAV. But it rocks. Loos same as 3.42 actually. -WHO-DEY

but I am there for the cache...not for a meet and greet.

MY WIFE WOULD DO THE SAME EXACT THING...BUT SHE MAY DUCK DOWN.

Maybe creepy was a bad poor choice of word... If I can ask, why will you no longer palce on there again, as you did?

Konnarock - Perhaps I should have left off the bit on my kids caching...that was not the sole point. It many things. from neighborhood and neighbor considerations to safety of cachers etc. i just do not get the fascination, I suppose. castle - I usually know it is in a home based on what I see on my Oregon or the cache listing. So it is not regarding "not knowing". Just the placement that is creepy.

I would say it is against the policy. And regarding the othe rpost. We need to monitor our hobby. It is not be ing a"cache cop" as he put it...it is being responisible to the lifespan of our ability to do this sport. Reviewers can only do so much. And is it possible he changed the name after publishing? In any case, business cards and promotions are not allowed, I believe...so why is this any different. if we allow this, then why stop there? Why not have every cache promote some type of bussiness? that will be a lanscape I would prefer not to see.

Does anyone else find it creepy to find that a cache is located in a persons driveway or yard. Not deep in acres of property...but a yard. I am talking about caches that are placed in a subdivision size lot, in a neighborhood. I just can't see neighbors liking it...and I am nto comfortable with my kids going there alone (not that they are old enough yet). I know my neighbors would be real unhappy if I placed a cache in my yard. who knows who would could pull up. There are some (to put it lightly) odd and irrational cachers out there, trust me, i know from experience. I avoid finding them at all times. I am just curious how other cachers feel about it. Maybe I could drive by, throw one of those sig cards out the window and drive away.
