  1. Thank you for the replies. I am taking more pictures now when I visit the sites. And I have gone back to a couple of them because there was some requirements that I did not complete the first time there. So I think I am learning. I am enjoying seeing the places that the waymarks take you to.
  2. When I visit a waymark I sometimes find it is listed under several catagories. Do you log each catagory? I visited a courthouse that was listed under 5 or 6 catagories. Historic places, Courthouses, etc. I am new to Waymarking and want to get started out correctly. And I don't know anyone local that does it to ask questions of. Thanks for any information you can give to a newbie.
  3. Is there a way of turning the recently view option off? I had much rather my recent finds stay on the top. I review lots and lots of caches but do not need a list of them..
  4. This is the first time this has happened. I select view larger beta maps. When it is opened up there are no caches displayed. Neither found or unfound. Changing the zoom in and out does not change anything. What do I need to do to get them back on the maps. Any help is appreciated as I am planning a caching trip on Friday and would like to view the caches in the area.

    I Phone 3 G

    I had never done this before. Therefore there was no files to be recovered. I logged in today and synced the phone. Saved all my data and then updated the phone. Then restored all my data back to the phone. After a few minor problems I had everything back working on the phone, but was unable to recover the deleted geocaching app. But with the update on the I phone I was able to download the new geocaching apps that was available. Apple was a big help to me on this even with me not having a tech support agreement purchased and my phone being 142 days past the date of tech assistance. Thanks for all the replys to my problem.
  6. I just had this happen to me. In fact there is another thread somewhere here where I was asking for help. I finally spoke to the people at Apple who helped me with my problem. I hooked the phone up to the computer and downloaded the lastest ITunes . Through this I was able to backup all the data on my phone and update the I phone. Then after this I re loaded all my data to the phone. Once I had everything back on line and working like it was suppose to , I was able to install the newer version of the geocaching apps. I have some questions about the new apps but hope to find a website for those. It took about an hour all together because after 16 months I had never updated or backed up my phone.
  7. I have had that happen on occasion. It seems to be that at some point there were network issues so the app/phone decided that it would try to continue without using the internet. I found that if I completely closed the app things started working again. To completely close the app with iOS 4…1) hit the home button twice quickly, 2) press and hold one of the icons at the bottom that represent processes running, 3) After the icons get the minus sign and start wiggling, scan through and find the geocaching app and pick it for closing, 4) Press the home button once, 5) Click in the screen, 6) Navigate to the geocaching app icon and try again.

    I Phone 3 G

    I had the geocaching apps on my 3 G Iphone. They locked up today and nothing I tried would work. When I clicked on search for geocaches I got that none with available. So I deleted the geocaching apps and now cannot find it to re install it. The one that shows available will not work on the 3 G phone. Can anyone help me with this. ?
  11. Up until the last couple of weeks when I would be on the enlarge mag page the caches that I had found were smiley faces and unfound caches were the green treasure chests. Now all my finds have turned back to the green chest. When looking to see where a particular cache is located on the map it is very difficult to pick the right one. What has happened? Is anyone else having this problem? How do I fix it? Any help would be appreciated because this is really a problem if you are looking for unfound caches in an area. Plus we all like to see the happy faces.
  12. Yes I deleted the favorites file before connecting to computer. After downloading to it I always click on the unhook this device safely and get the message ok to remove. THe last two or three times I downloaded to the gps I got the message that a windows program needed to close first. I shut every thing down both times before disconnecting from the computer. Not sure if that had anything to do with it or not.
  13. I have been using this gps for two months. I download my pq to gsak and then to the nuvi into my favorites. Then I only use it for driving to the area of the cache and from there use my handheld gps. This has worked without a problem until now and my computer will not let me download to it. Anyone have a similar problem with their nuvi ? I have tried it on two different computers and still get the same message.? Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
  14. I know this is not the right spot for the post but all I am getting in the IPhone topics is that they can not be opened. Can someone direct me to the right area for help. My compass does not change as I get closer to the cache. Example; I selected a cache that was 10.2 miles from my location. When I drove to the cache and and found it my compass still said it was 10.2 miles. Just point me in the right direction for help and I will apprecite it.
  15. Before this latest update by Groundspeak I could click on the teardrop on the map on the bottom of the cache page. This would open up the map and show the other caches in that area and where they were. Now this tear drop is a treasure chest and I can't get the map to open up. What is the newest secret here? Thanks for the help.
  16. I have read with interest all these posts on re attaching the rubber band to the garmin. I have the Vista Hcx and have had this problem from the start. I am going to definite try the silcone. Thanks.
  17. I am using the MyGeocachingProfile.Com to track my stats on my profile page. If I decide to delete this will it effect how my geocaching.com page works or anything like that?
  18. For some reason on geocaching.com my distance from home to cache has started showing in km instead of miles. I am sure I have hit a button or something at the wrong time and changed this, but I do not have a clue how to get it back to reading in miles. This is making it really hard on me when the new caches post to know at a glance how far they are from me. Any help from the computer experts out there. Judy
  19. I am in Oklahoma and trying to find some information on the delorme challenge-ok. Does anyone have any information they can share. I tried a search but found nothing. Also any infromation on any other geocaching contests would be appreciated.
  20. I finally got it. Thanks so much for all your help. I was not getting the pop up but am now. This has just made my geocaching better. Again THANKS and have a wonderful day.
  21. I am not sure I am understanding what you are saying. I have followed each step that it has prompted me to do but still no luck. Install the USB drivers from this page: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/store/downloads...45&pID=8701 and then try re-intalling the Garmin plug-in for your browser and the download to unit thingy. It tells me that they are install properly, etc. Have even reinstalled but not having any luck. WHen I go to the geocaching find page and select one I want to send to the GPS , all I do is select the send to GPS option and it should work, right? Perhaps I have to be a premium member for it to work .
  22. I am not sure I am understanding what you are saying. I have followed each step that it has prompted me to do but still no luck.
  23. I have downloaded the trip & waypoint manger that came with my GPS. When I am viewing the caches on geocaching and select the send to GPS option, I get the message that I must download the cd thing. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. I can enter them manually but would be nice and fast to download from the computer.
  24. Go to the cache page and where you logged your "found it" and below your log will be a link that says "view/edit logs/images on a separate page" Click that and it will give you the option to delete log. Thank you very much. Did what you said and it worked.
  25. How do I delete a double posted find? My account now shows me finding this one twice so my count is incorrect. Is there a way of deleting one of the I found its.
