    TOMTOM

    in United Kingdom and Ireland

    Posted

    I have a tomtom 950 live.

    Up until recently, everything was fine.

     

    I do a tomtom export from gsak, then copy and paste the export results into my european map folder.

     

    If i do a search for poi near me, they come up and i can navigate to it.

     

    However, they used to show on the map as i drove along and you could see them all, for some reason, they no longer show.

     

    POI in tomtom is ticked to show all types of caches on the map, but they dont!

     

    Anyone got any pointers please?

     

    I have the 750 Live you need to tick these 2 boxes:

    Multi Cache setup ?

    in United Kingdom and Ireland

    Just another thought.

     

    Would geocachers prefer a circular walk with no retracing of tracks

    as a - multicache or a series of seperate caches 1mile apart they

    could be done seperately if limited time was available.

     

    Also adding in some archealogical/historical interest ?

    Does anyone know if there is a list just for the United Kingdom anywhere that I could look at? :P

     

    I started looking through the list but at 20 bugs per page and 1,000 pages, it would take me forevr to find all the UK ones B)

     

    Is there a way to pull out the UK only ones? :ph34r:

     

    There are quite a few I would like to watch on their travels, any help would be appreciated B)

    Try Link and put United Kingdom in keyword.

    Micros

    in United Kingdom and Ireland

    LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION

     

    And that applies to Micros as well. It is easy to be careless or thoughtless about the final location - particularly if you only are considering a micro. Reverse the thought process: "What is the LARGEST cache container I can place around here?" "If I move a few metres one way or the other will it permit a good location for a larger container?"

     

    I have just two micros: GCQW1T - The View and GCY2GG - RSPCA . At neither location is it physically possible for any other container to be used and RSPCA is very small indeed. However for both, the final location justified the micro.

     

    There is a valid school of thought which says that "finding micros is a challenge in itself" - and bizarrely it may be fun. This line of reasoning places the final micro challenge on par with a puzzle cache, being the final physical extension of the idea. The Rodz series is a good example, but as someone said before, his final locations are well thought out.

     

    Kids ( and my dear lady FewKinder ) like TREASURE. So decent sized well stocked tupperware keeps that group of punters on board, but they are not the only group.

     

    I did have a little grumble in Perth that it all seemed to be micros when nice containers could equally well have been used, and down south the Thames Path is littered with micros when I am sure larger containers could be more appropriately used.

     

    But in the end its each to their own. There is no single way to geocache - but do please always think:
