    Can Groundspeak fix old dates on caches?

    in Website

    Posted

    It wasn't me that changed it. I guess one of the reviewers took it upon themselves to do it. Anonymously, I might add. Just wish they had given me the courtesy of an email letting me know it was done.

    I noticed that all of the other caches listed have had their dates changed, also.

    Glad it isn't screwing with your program now.

    1. You know it was a reviewer and not a Lackey how?

    2. Why should they 'let you know'? Did you do it on purpose?

     

    1. I don't know. I just know it wasn't me. Reviewer/Lackey = same thing to us 'commoners'.

    2a. Because it is a cache that I created and maintain. Common courtesy.

    2b. Originally - NO. (I use a Mac with Safari) - Later on - Yes.

    I have found a few caches that show the date hidden as 1901 (ex. GC1ACD1). I didn't really care that much until I downloaded a PQ with the cache and it crashes the mapping program I use (MapSource). The date causes problems where it won't even load the file at all. I was just curious why caches are even allowed to post dates this old when geocaching is obviously a new sport and not 100 years old :). Can anything be done to correct this error?

     

    Your problem was solved a couple of hours ago.

    Paperless Caching for Macs

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I'm ready to take the step into paperless caching for Macs. I've read as much as I can on here and I'd appreciate hearing from people on a few unanswered questions.

     

    1. Palm or PockerPC - which is easiest for Macs?

    2. If I am not going to use the PDA for anything else what model?

    3. Color or black/white?

     

    I have a webpage that I created when I couldn't find info on how to do this some time back. I still do paperless caching using this method. There are new programs out there that MIGHT be a better choice, but if it ain't broke - I ain't changing.

    Paperless Caching on a Mac

    I am interested in looking at GSAK using VPC, but ... maybe next week, or the next, I've got to go caching (paperless, of course).

    I will vote for erik88l-r and GPSFUN. I would have included mtn-man, but I hear he already has the prize. He certainly TAKES the prize. :unsure:

     

    I wholeheartedly agree ... Erik goes WAY BEYOND the call of duty, and GPSFun is ALWAYS there. I don't see when they have time to cache!

     

    And of course, mtn-mam is mtn-mam - nuff said.

    Cache Owners Deleting Logs Of Finders

    clip... At the end of June, they made their last known 'armchair run' which covered NC, SC, GA, and TN--all in one day. ...clip

    Yea, cudlecub and Gaits claimed to have visited 18 caches here in N. Ga on the 12th. The downfall was that they claimed to have visited a 4/5 cache in addition to the other 17. We knew that they could not have physically done them all and started to compare notes and logs. He even claimed to have done my cache 'Surface Concavity' as his milestone 3,200th cache. Of course, this is BS and I even emailed and asked him to remove reference to it. He did remove the log, but not the reference on his profile page. Beyond the initial email response from him blaming everything on Gaits, my emails have gone unanswered. To date 15 of the 18 bogus claims have been deleted.

     

    At least Gaits fessed up and apologized to me via email, and is trying to gain some lost credibility in the geocaching community. I usually let this kinda stuff go, but his arrogance just rubbed me the wrong way.

     

    Oh well, his bogus, lofty numbers mean nothing to anyone except himself. Then again... he would think he is something 'special' even without the numbers. So sad ... :unsure:

    Va - Smith Mtn Lake Caches

    in Northeast

    Posted

    I am going to be on Smith Mountain Lake in Virginny the 3rd week in August. We have a 50' houseboat and a lakehouse rented on the south side of the lake. Would appreciate recommendations for available caches. I see that the cache at the dam might be in No Trespassing territory. Anyone got the scoop for this area?

    Thanx

    Does anyone know a cacher named CAMPNUTZ?

    He is a construction Manager and joined in January, 2005. Last visit was in April. I think he has my missing TB 'Can You Hear Me Now?'.

    He found 4 caches in the Long Island/Islip area, and hasn't been online since. I have emailed thru GC 3 times trying to get my bug back, with no reponse.

    Help if you can. Thanx

    Anyone in New York know a cacher that goes by the name CAMPNUTZ?

    I think he may have a TB of mine. He's only found 4 caches and hasn't been online since April. I don't think he knows what he has, and I'm just trying to contact him. Emails have been unsuccessful.

    Thanx

    Welcome to America, my friend!

    Any recommendations for cache hunting in Germany?

    I hope to get there soon, as there doesn't seem to be any "dog s***, dumping areas or boring micros on a parking lot which were placed by throwing a can out of the open car window" caches there. Or is there?

    My kind of cachining local.

    You are right, this method does not touch on any mapping solution.

     

    To be truely paperless, the PDA files need to include information, hints, etc.

     

    All of this information IS transferred to the PDA from the GPX file. In CacheMate, these screens are included for each cache: Overview, Cache Information, Cache Description, Hints, Past 5 logs, and a screen to enter you own log. I haven't printed out a cache page in a year.
