  1. Ik had een Oregon 600 toen die pas uitkwam en had deze al na een paar maand alweer te koop gesteld. Je zal zelf wel weten wat de problemen waren/zijn met dit toestel. Naar verluidt zou de OR700 - wegens het verplaatsen van de antenne - wel betere nauwkeurigheid hebben dan de OR600. Over de software zelf heb ik nog niets gelezen (positief noch negatief). Dit gezegd zijnde, had ik na de OR600 een 64 gekocht en gebruik die nog steeds tot mijn tevredenheid. Dit in de optiek dat ik alleen geïnteresseerd ben in het nauwkeurig navigeren. In een stad kan de fix/nauwkeurigheid wel 'tegenvallen', maar dan is de vraag of het aan de 64 ligt of aan degene die de cache heeft verborgen en eventueel een eenmalige meting heeft gedaan met een minder nauwkeurig toestel. Je hebt natuurlijk geen touch screen, maar bij de OR600 was dat meer een vloek dan een zegen omdat dan blijkbaar net iets (onbewust) aangeklikt was dat je profiel/instellingen naar de knoppen hielp. Ik heb dat bij de 64 nog maar 1 maal meegemaakt dat ik door één of ander handeling mijn profiel/instelling kwijt was. Het enige mankement is de wel zeer slechte kwaliteit van de SD kaart houder (die echt de naam niet waard is). Ik heb dat ding met ducttape moeten vastplakken omdat anders bij de minste schok de SD kaart niet op zijn plaats zat en de GPS tilt sloeg omdat de kaart niet meer kon gelezen worden.

  3. Jetez un copu d'oeil à http://www.saarfuchs.com/2016/06/falk-tiger-mein-geocaching-test.html. Il est non spécifique pour le GEO, mais la différence est probablement minime. L'article est en allemand, mais Google Translate peut être utile.
  4. I hope that you include that people can choose not to give default permissions for locations. Not the whole app need the current location and people prefer to keep their privacy and not to share their location when it's not needed.
  5. I don't see why GC should take over all the bad properties and the resulting effects from PG. It's already bad enough that both Ground speak and Niantic have the same company 'policy' towards their users.
  6. Location permission is indeed switched off, but when I turn it on, it switches itself off. I also get the message that the app is designed for an older android version. It looks odd to me that the app crashes on location permissions and seems to need it. Not all functionality off the app is location based (in fact not a lot). Previous versions of the app just worked find. A more user friendly message would be nice.
  7. I don't seem to be able to start the app anymore. It crashes each time. I'm running version 4.5.3 on android 6.0.1 Any one else having this issue too?
  8. If the modern feel is that app that it's only after your money and privacy data and on top unsafe and let you get in inappropriate places (e.g. Holocaust museum), I have to pass. I even desire for the 'old times' where geocaching wasn't about the points and people wouldn't do anything for that single point/souvenir and went for the outdoor experience with a single find at the end.
  9. All of this is already available in Munzee. As far as I know, that isn't/wasn't a GC killer, so I don't see why Pokemon Go would be.
  10. The problem is occurring again today (indifferent from the browser).
  11. How many times would you do that? If so, what would be the added value of a (new) search which doesn't offer any routing capabilities? The only way to achieve that is to do some homework and look at a regular map in order to know which places to visit for visiting 10 countries. It's only after that has been done, you can look which caches to do in these cities. Thus nothing different from the past.
  12. Like Erasmus said: "In regione caecorum rex est luscus.". In other words, no rocket science. The world wide search - thus standard removing the geo spatial search, which can be the most performance problematic on certain db systems - is just a plain standard SQL. No need for in memory or column store db systems in order to achieve that. Omitting logic operators and things like fuzzy search makes it even more a no-brainer.
  13. Een zoekmachine is uw beste vriend
  14. According to this, it's indeed stacking: "Event Caches should be separated by time, organized by different geocachers, have a minimum duration of 30 minutes and take place at a different location than other events."
  15. Or as Juvenalis said: "Iam pridem, ex quo suffragia nulli uendimus, effudit curas; nam qui dabat olim imperium, fasces, legiones, omnia, nunc se continet atque duas tantum res anxius optat, panem et circenses." (Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses) I'm not saying that geocaching should be some elitist and impenetrable to the 'riffraff', but a certain level of standard of quality would be fine. IMO this whole souvenir and (to some extent) leap day circus is not gonna help. I've seen this with the EC souvenir where people are doing really everything - and (forced to) forget what ECs are all about - to gain this in their profile. And as an EC CO, I got forced to handle a lot of crap when that souvenir was launched. All these souvenir thing is nothing more than a worth- and meaningless gif, which is a cheap and classic application of the hooked (marketing) model. You're not going to be a better cacher if you have them, but it is just a method for a company to have/gain (advertisement) revenue. And yes, I do have also have souvenirs, but look never at them nor let them determine my 'agenda'. An opt out option as cacher and CO would be a welcome. As an already paying - thus the company has revenue from me - customer, I should have the right. Well, It's about souvenirs and thus website related. So, it's a business.
  16. Here are my concerns about the new messaging center - as EC owner, I find it already tedious when I got e-mails with answers where the logger didn't (want to) share their e-mail address. The MC will make it even a more tedious. - performance wise, the MC will put even a more (i.m.o. unnecessary) burden on the servers which suffer a lot lately apparently - privacy wise, all communication resides on Groundspeak servers. One never knows what one will (ever) do with that. On top one can use this content for commercial use without our consent (e.g. Facebook does). I don't wanna sound paranoic, but there is also the Patriot Act and the notorious section 215, which I - as non US citizen - don't wanna applied simply because of the MC resides in the US. I wonder how the German law looks at this matter btw.
  17. Dat heeft m.i. weinig met het berichten systeem te maken. Je kan het gc little helper probleem oplossen door de code op GitHub

  23. Une interview avec les geotrainmen par Tof Géocaching: https://tofgeocaching.wordpress.com/2014/12/20/geotrainmen/
  24. Inderdaad een typefout, maar blijkbaar kan een bestaande post achteraf niet aangepast worden (na een tijd). Onze excuses voor de typefout, maar de boodschap van de Geotrainmen en hun events is o.i. desondanks duidelijk genoeg.
  25. Wij zouden graag uw mening willen weten over een mogelijke feocoin. http://geotrainmen.idizaai.be/limesurvey/index.php/616447/lang-nl Nous aimerions connaître votre opinion sur un possible geocoin. http://geotrainmen.idizaai.be/limesurvey/index.php/616447/lang-fr
