    Only coordinates?

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    OK, I have downloaded GSAK, and figured out how to get a cache from geocaching to the gsac folder, now what do I do with it ? How do I get the page to my gps or do I put it on a palm or can I get it to my blackjack phone ? :D arghhhhhh

    Which GPS?

    I little digging into the site and I found this...

     

    This site: http://gpsinformation.net/ has helpful information on different consumer GPS Units.

     

    Hope it helps

     

    :lol: Geo-Ninja :(

     

    I am partial to the Garmin 60csx, it was the one my department used, so I was already used to it. I can't stand to use someone elses "other" now...Good Luck, you will love whatever you get, remember, it is what you do with it, not what you do it with.

    Not really. Now if you used a sexy or pleasing avitar and wrote in an style that endears people to you; you would have the forums eating out of your hand. Some folks have a knack for that. Some are just abrasive. I tend towards the latter. Sorry about that.

     

    No worries...most have been nice & coordial. Just trying to get info without offending anyone...lol, I tend to have thick skin...guess I had a moment of weakness..a bit in touch with my womanly side, I guess going to the Melissa Etheridge concert Friday night did me in...lol...OK, I am manned back up, Is there a Metallica show soon ?

     

    Have a great day!

    I look at it like this.

    As a cache owner, I put time into:

    1- Making the cache container

    2- Looking for and placing said cache

    3- Writing up cache page and info

     

    If your TOO LAZY to take the time to write down or copy/print/download the info, then you deserve the pain!

    That is that simple.

    If I take the time to give you hints and other clues and you don't write them down, its your fault.

     

    I love it when cachers complain. Generally you find they didn't take the time or effort to do their homework.

     

    Its isn't my fault, its yours as the cacher!

     

    I know I am sort of new to this but jeesh.....did I anywhere try to place FAULT...? Also it has nothing to do with LAZE...I TRY to do all of my caches with cords only, it seems to be a bit more "pure" that way...I was merely asking the "friendly" people in the newbie section of the forum page a good way to take all of the information you "put time into" out on the hunt with me. Sir/Madam, if you re-read the post I put time into, you will see that I WANT to use the info but am looking for an efficient way to utilize it.

     

    "you deserve the pain!

    That is that simple"

     

    Is there a "pain free" section for cachers...that is a bit more my style...I thought we could al get along without all the Jr. High drama...

    I use GSAK to load caches into my 60 CSx so they show me the cache ID, the difficulty & terrain, the size of the cache, a short version of the name, and a part of the hint. I keep all the cache info (including the last few logs) on a PDA (we use a Zire 21 and and Plam IIIxe), again using GSAK and PQs.

     

     

    GSAK - what is that & where can I get it...lol

    The rudest and harshest log we have ever received on any of our caches was written by someone who clearly must be a "coordinate-only" cacher. There was information on the page that could have helped him have a much better day, but he chose not to read it.

     

    I read the pages, but when out doing 4-5 in a day, with 5 kids to wrangle all day, I forget what info I read went with what cache. I am not going to print every page & have a binder or pee-chee folder...(dating myself)

    What to leave?

    I like to leave the small/medium size carabeaners/clips. Most people have a backpack of some type when caching so a clip is a nice thing to get. I also get some cheap tweezers from time to time from the 99 cent store & leave them for those folks that have small logs in the micros. I also found the small play-dough in small cans and bought like 20 of them for 10 bucks. Kids loved them. I also like to leave the small costco waters in MY larger caches.

    Just wondering, I have seen a few people saying they are using only coordinates for their caching, & others sau they use "info" from the page? I have a 60csx. Is there something I could do to make it easier when caching with my kids so they do not get discouraged...(as if it has nothing to do with me...lol).
