I have everything checked to receive information.

I have not been receiving the weekly emails for sometime now. I have checked and my email is "primary" and "validated". I have also checked my spam folder and it is empty. I have had no problems prior to May with my server. So what's up? Does anyone else have the same problem? Solutions?

I had the Project-GC profile html saved to my profile page but it was not there. When I pasted the html code it would not display after I saved the profile. Any suggestions?

Found a geocache container while off work today. I immediatedly searched GC.com for any near geocaches. The only ones that came up were ones 0.11 miles or greater away from my location. It had a logbook, pen, and some swag. The logbook was dated three months ago with what i presume was the name of the owner. I checked the name but no results were found. What should I do?

I am wondering why N9TDC from Indiana all of a sudden became " inactive" and his caches are now archived in the recent months.

Filter Search by Keyword - "MOGA" Oh no, a DNF! We couldn't find any geocaches that matched your search. Here are a few things to try: How in the heck do the search not find "MOGA" in a title? Where are the new geocaches in a state option?

Received it and sent you the three files. Hope you got them and you were able to use them.... Have fun in Arizona. John and Shirley~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ Glad 2oldfarts (the rockhounders) got you all fixed up. The benchmark forums have some of the best people. On an aside, if you need an "entire" state of datasheets (and not just individual counties), you can get the state in one swoop. Go here: http://www.ngs.noaa....n/datasheet.prl then archived datasheets --- monthly archives--- zip file of state you want The directory will show you the last time the state file was updated (I think all states have been updated to 2015), so you'll know how current the information in the zip file is. Don't let the word "archived" fool you. It is just a backup storage of all the active benchmarks at a given time...and not ones that have been put away or something. Once you download the file and unzip it, you'll have the entire state of your choosing....to use the data how you choose. Many people will need to convert the NGS datasheets to a gpx format before being able to import into programs like GSAK or similar, including GPS units. That's where NGS-GPX comes into play. http://ngs.tsqmadnes...sgpx/index.html I do not get a ZIP file when I go to the website. What am I doing wrong? You do not get a zip file when you go to the datasheet download page. After you select the datasheets you want, you then hit the "get datasheets" button and it will eventually show a list of all the requested datasheets as 1 long text file. You click on the file button on the menu bar and select "save as" and save the page as a "text" file. You then run the file through a GPX file generator. You then open the GPX file with GSAK. I use BMGPX to convert the text file to GPX. John Ok...I get the datasheets, but when I Save As, I can only choose webpage, complete or webpage, html. Ah Ha!!!! Problem Solved... Google Chrome will not save as text

I just tried doing a download and found it is very slow. Try selecting about 10 datasheets to download and see how long it takes and verify that it will pull up the datasheets you wanted. The more you try to download the longer it takes to get the datasheet list. Here is the link I used - http://www.ngs.noaa....n/datasheet.prl John So here is what I do... -Choose Datasheets -Choose County -Select State (i.e. Kentucky) -Select County (i.e. Ballard) -Choose Get Marks I wait for a download file to unzip, but all I eventually get are the datasheets. I want to a zipfile that I can convert to a GPX file. What am I doing wrong?

When I go to the NGS site, I can select the Datasheets, State and County. But I do not get any download file to unzip. What am I doing wrong?

Issue solved...it shows up now. Sorry for post!

I recently found a virtual geocache in the Bahamas with a D/T rating of 4.5/2.5. But it is not showing up in my D/T stats. Does anyone have a clue to why this is so?

Got my first Wherigo geocache published!!! Afterwards, I got the Wherigo Builder to work. Now only to make sense of it. For now, I think I'll stick with the Wherigo\\kit. Thanks alot for making this for us challenged people.

Have you applied the 64-bit Windows OS fix to Groundspeak's builder yet? Everytime I try to do so, I get this error message:

I want to thank you for the Wherigo\\kit for the same reason so many others have done so. But I need your help... When I try to open the IUA file in the Wherigo Bilder I get the attached message. Can you elp me understand what is happening?

I was struggling with the Wherigo Builder until you cam along an allowed me to build one. Thanks BIG TIME. Now for some help... when I save the file to work (the IUA file) on it in the GS Wherigo Builder I get the attached error message. Can you help me make since of this?

I have used GSAK for some time now. But last fall, my (the latest) version of GSAK stopped sending geocaches to my PN60. It starts to send them, then it holds up, and stops. How can I fix this situation?

Nope. All are paved hiways. Most are two lanes but some are four.

Not using OS 6. THey only appear in when using the topomaps

When looking at the maps in the Iphone app, I see red dash marks on certain roads but not all as well as a a red lines on others. What are these?

Thanks for all the advise. I finally got it to work with the help of this dicussion forum at Delorme... http://forum.delorme.com/viewtopic.php?p=193067 It was called a "low level format" and it worked. I even went geocaching on this damp dreary day and had fun.

Yes to both questions. I was able to send PQs before to my PN-60 from both software. I worked on it most of the evening and found that I can only single GPXs from the cache page properly.

I have tried to upload my PQs to both GSAK and to TopoUSA, then send them to my PN60. Each time, nothing appears in the Geocache files and Red Pins appear under the Waypoint files. Each of these are 7360 miles away. I updated to Firmware 3.3, reformat the SD card etc., several times. If I send a single cache to the GPS, everything works fine...it includes all of the description, hint, etc... Is anyone having a similar problem?

"Then we storm the geocaching servers and destroy them and all back-up copies." DON'T FORGET TO BURN THE HAMSTERS!!!!
