[Map view has no Imagery]

I switched to Firefox, got the same result. No imagery.

[Map view has no Imagery]

This was on Win10 Chrome.  I've panned, zoomed, changed map types, (satelite works).

Today, my map view has no background images.

 

 

[Trouble Uploading Field Notes]

So I'm stuck in a loop of clearing all the old field notes and screwing up the date function. Time to start a new field notes file.

 

Thanks Moun10bike.

[Trouble Uploading Field Notes]

For the last few weeks, when I go to upload my Field Notes, I am missing the option for "Ignore logs before Date Time" Tried on two different browsers and another computer. This happens on my account only, when I log into my daughter's (non-premium) acct. the option is there.

 

Any ideas for the cause, or a fix??

[Locking an Ammo can?]

I have seen three locked ammo cans now, from the same owner, and they are all combination locks. Usually Multis with info gathering and puzzle solving. The advantages of the combination lock are that there are no keys to lose, and it keeps maintenance down. GC1ATX0

[Who Are The Lurkers? Introduce Yourself.]

Hi,

I am StrivingforCamelot, and I am a lurker. ("Hi Striving") I have only been a lurker for a few months now ("denial") but I am learning to deal with this issue. I haven't noticed TOO much hostility in here, but maybe I am reading the wrong threads. I will usually voice my opinion only if it is new and I feel strongly about it, or if I feel really sure that I know something pertinent that hasn't been mentioned yet (not very often because I am new). Thanks for listening.

[Oregon 400T - can you change cache coordinates?]

I have a new Colorado and I had the same problem. I'm not sure if this solution will work on the Oregon but here goes. Two ways; 1. Mark a new waypoint and then change the name and the coords, 2. use the Mapsource software that came with the unit to create and then download a custom waypoint. The second method is kind of hard when you're on the trail. Either way they show up in the unit as a waypoint, not a geocache.

[Colorado, Oregon, Triton?]

Hey gang, I've been using an eXplorist 500 LE for a year or so now, and it's getting fairly beaten up. It still works ok, but I just can't resist the next gen handhelds. I have read a few early reviews of the Garmins and Magellans, and they were mediocre at best. Have they all been updated with bug fixes? I really like the Colorado series, but not sure if I want to pony up the coin, only to have something half functional. So, I am asking owners of the next gen units for their honest opinions...

 

I got myself a new Colorado for Christmas and although it was not love at first sight, I am learning to appreciate it. My old unit didn't resovle in feet, just .01 mi. and .00 mi. (Garmin GPS80 circa 1992) so at my first cache the Colorado was jumping around by 50-75 ft. I was upset. Now I hear that this is normal. It does have reception Far superior to my old one; leaves, trees, buildings, valleys, Hah! no prob. The only 'bug' I've noticed is that when I mark a waypoint, I get the hourglass icon and it doesn't go away until I exit that screen, everything works fine, you just have to look past the hourglass. There are so many features that it'll be a while until I learn them all. I do feel that Garmin is now pushing their Oregon series much harder and I think that this means that it is their direction for the future, so they might support that product for a longer time. But I can't recommend the Oregon as I have not used one. That is my humble opinion for what it's worth, I hope it helps.

[need good gps]

I have been using an absolutely ancient Garmin gps (ca 1990) it's a little slow, not the best reception but it gets me to the cache on time. Then I bought the "latest and Greatest", a Garmin Colorado, and wow am I disappointed. I'm not sure if it's me or the unit, but I guess I expected more accuracy than the old one.
