I have the exact same thing in my browser window as you had. File://\Program%20Files\GPXSonar\Docs I kept playing with all the differnet IE settings trying to get the same symptoms that you are experiencing with no luck. I hope -=(GEO)=- can help you. I sure can't figure it out.

I can't get mine to do what your's is doing. I would recommend contacting the fellow geocacher author of this program directly who is -=(GEO)=-. Here is a link to his profile page. I'm sure he can help you. http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?id=82972

the soft reset should have done this but let's make sure no other programs are interfering. go to start---settings--system tab at the bottom of screen--memory--running programs tab-----tap stop all. try again after this

let me play with mine for a sec and I'll get back to you

Most of the time when I have something go wrong (it was working then it's not) I have to do a soft reset on my pocket pc. Have you tried this yet?

That is a great article which I'm sure will certainly add to the growing number of geocachers. I plan to use this article along with all the other positive attributes of geocaching at a meeting I have scheduled with our local law enforcement bomb squad guys. I am certain this article will help reinforce our position on the sport for the Sheriff's Department to see how this game works. The more publicity the sport receives, the better it is, in my opinion. Thanks for posting the link to it in the forums. LSUFan

Make sure you are logged in and go to your travel bugs page. On the box on the right-hand top side of the page underneath where it says log travel bug, there is a drop-down arrow beside where it says recalculate distance. Click on this arrow and select the travel bug missing option. You will then be asked if you are sure you want to mark this travel bug as missing. Click YES. LSUFan

Sissy and Cr, I received the bison tubes for emergency numbers along with the vinyl stickers today. I like them. I'll try to post a pic of my truck here, once I get the sticker of my logo put on the back window. Thanks LSUFan P.S. This was the first weekend that I got to use my avatar stamp that ya made for me. It worked great. I showed it to some fellow geocachers that we met at a cache. Don't be surprised if they become customers. They really liked it.

My personal opinion would be to just log it as a find one time and post notes for every time after that. Really, you didn't find it the second time because you already knew where it was. You just revisited it. I have logged a cache twice as a find after the owner had replaced it and moved it a half-mile from the original location. I considered this a new hunt since it had been moved and rehid in a different place. As far as the geocaching website goes, I haven't looked to see if counted twice in my number of caches found. I don't think it does. These are just my personal observations and I'm sure you are going to get plenty more opinions. LSUFan

I decided to choose a name that identified me with one of my three favorite sports teams. I could have chose either SaintsFan, CubsFan, or LSUFan. Since I wanted at least a little respect from my fellow geocachers (instead of pity), I went with LSUFan.

CapnJackSparrow, I think this is the link you are referring to at Geocachers U website. I also use this trifold brochure along with the cards that you can print out. http://www.geocacher-u.com/resources/index.html#downloads

Scott, if you do decide to go the PDA route, then you probably need to get this accessory. My caching partner and I both have these and they do help tremendously. It keeps your PDA dry and the dirt out. It also floats if necessary. Like I said earlier, it's best to have a handheld gps if you do go out in the elements, but if not, this can save your PDA from getting messed up. There are several different sizes available. This is just the one that happened to fit my PDA with the GPS card in it. I still get all of the gps satellite signals while the PDA is in the case also. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp...duct_id=2553355 LSUFan

Thanks Keystone Approver for sharing this information with everyone. Even though it is published, I was unaware of it as I'm sure some of my other compatriots were. I think this is great and should help with this cache and similar future ones that have problems. Thanks Again for taking the time to educate me----again LSUFan

Now that's an idea that is definitely worthy of consideration. It might solve some future problems. LSUFan

Amytincan, if you'll move this post to the garage sale forum, then it should be ok. The garage sale forums are meant for people selling things and are not endorsed by geocaching.com. I would like a link to these personally. Thanks LSUFan

Hearing impared - and why is that an issue? sd I guess if you watch it with someone who is deaf, then it's funnier. You probably need to watch it with Closed Caption turned on. Can you imagine reading the sound effects from a porn movie? I can, and it's hilarious thinking about it. LSUFan

I believe Southdeltan's point is being lost here. This cache was archived with no explanation or forewarning. This forum has brought up the explanation that there may have been complaints against this cache. Even if there were complaints by a few, the majority have still found no problems with this cache. Leaving all religious/non-religious arguments aside, any cache should not be allowed to be archived as long as no laws or regulations are broken, and there is no immediate danger to anyone. A very thin argument can be made that geocaching guidelines may have been breached. Even this is an extremely weak consensus among all the geocachers who have shared their posts on the subject. After all, these are just guidelines, that can be open to interpretation among everybody who reads them. The majority have interpreted this cache as non-offensive, so I don't understand why the minority has been allowed to archive the cache. As far as this or any cache goes, it is our CHOICE to either hunt for it or not. If we either have to read the Bible or watch Farenheit 9/11 to solve a puzzle to find a cache, it's totally a choice. The main thing is, I want to HAVE that choice and not let a few in the minority dictate to me what I can or cannot do. I have to believe that everybody else also wants to have choices. If we just stand by and allow this cache to be archived by a few, then we are surely going to find our choices limited for future caches. Jeremy and all of the geocaching. com people have some decisions to make that can affect our choices. Please allow us the choice to choose what caches we want to hunt for (or not hunt for). Please unarchive this cache and don't let the minority censor the fun that the majority has. Thanks You LSUFan

I'm reading where several of my fellow geocachers are getting embroiled in this topic. Once I read all the posts, and names, I decided that I would jump into it also. First of all, let me say how much respect I have for everyone's views in this. I consider Southdeltan and Mtn-Man geocaching mentors for me. They are a true asset to the whole community, so if they get involved in something, then I know it's worthwhile for everyone to listen. That being said, let me get back to the topic at hand. I, personally, have requested several caches to be archived. TNGeocacher and Mnt-Man have both accomodated my requests on several occassions. All of these caches had been abandoned though and were not active ones. After reading TNGeocachers reply to the whole thing, I can accept what happened on his part. To err is human, just as it's human to overreact sometimes. I have not looked at this cache yet, and don't feel I need to. The whole controversy over this cache is indicative of a greater underlying problem in this country. What has happened to the term "Majority Rules"? This cache is in the same boat as many of our laws are. The vast majority support it, but one or two individuals are able to have it thrown out. This is wrong, but sadly enough, is being allowed to happen in our courts---and now in geocaching. This needs to stop in both of these venues. It just takes a group effort. Jeremy, as a fellow business owner, I'm sure you're aware of the "Majority Rules" concept. When you're deciding what products to sell to geocachers, you base your decisions on which ones will be the most popular and in turn sell to the most people(The Majority). You're not going to invest your time and resources in a product for just a few people. It doesn't make good business sense to do that, just as it doesn't make good business sense to not listen to the majority of your customers. Yes, geocachers are your customers since you are running a for profit venture as you have stated. It's quite obvious from reading the log posts, the majority have spoken and expressed their wishes---------unarchive this cache. Thank You LSUFan

Have you tried searching Ebay for one. I have bought several gps's (mostly for a PDA though) off of Ebay. Just make sure to check the sellers feedback rating. If they have a good feedback from other buyers, then you usually won't have any problems. Just trying to help. LSUFan

I personally use a Dell Axim PDA with a compact flash GPS card along with Mapopolis mapping software. Mapopolis has a conversion utility where you can run pocket queries from Geocaching.com (a premium member service) and it will put the caches as waypoints on the map screen. Mapopolis then will give you voice prompts on how to drive to the cache. You can also download the same pocket queries to another program on the PDA called GPXSonar, where you can view the cache webpages(along with the hidden spoilers if needed). It's truly paperless caching and extremely easy. All of this works great IN THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER----I totally agree with Dukie'n'Dad and Stunod that you DON'T want this when out in the woods. A PDA is not built for harsh environments. I use my ole trusty Garmin when I have to go in the woods. These are the types of GPS's you want to use if you're out in the elements. This advice comes from lots of personal experience with both a PDA and a handheld Garmin. Just trying to help LSUFan

I am about to lose my little geocaching partner if I can't get some help. DH previously made me a great avatar that I had Sissy & CR make into a stamp for me. The problem is that now my ten year old geocaching accomplice feels left out and is threatening to boycott future geocaching hunts unless she also has an avatar/stamp of her screename. (Man, kids these days get educated fast. She'll probably organize a union with her one year old brother before Christmas) Will DH or someone help me before she starts walking a picket line. Her screename is SAINTSGIRL. Originally the name came from the New Orleans Saints but it doesn't necessarily have to be that. I kinda knew what I wanted my avatar to look like but I don't have a clue on anything for hers. I need your creative minds and skills to help me with this. I want to thank everyone in advance for any help they can give me/and her. LSUFan

I'll take the one left in red and two more in black. Whenever you get some more reds in, I'll get a few more of those also. Also I would love to get my hands on some of those geocaching window clings whenever you do make those. I know you told me earlier you would make some whenever you had time to get to your supplier. It's beginning to look that this spare bedroom hobby is turning into a job. That just goes to show you, when you have good products & service like you and Sissy do, people are going to want them. I know I sure do. It kinda reminds me of the famous movie excerpt "If you build it, they will come"----------------right to Sissy & CR's online geocaching store. Thanks LSUFan

Sissy & CR, Have ya gave any more thought to engraving those Bison Tubes for emergency numbers and contact info. We were discussing something like engraving "Open in case of Emergency" on them earlier in the forums. I have a friend who definitely wants some of those if ya do decide to make them. CR, you started this good idea, we just need you to follow it thru. thanks LSUFan

Sissy and CR, I just got my order in today. I really like the stamp and holder for it. I want to thank ya again for all the help and info on getting an avatar made to make a stamp out of. I just have one more request. Can ya make me a stamp of a hundred dollar bill? I'm just kidding--------unless you can do it, then I'm serious Thanks again LSUFan

CR, I think red would be good but any color would work if it was engraved "for an emergency." If you are going to make these, I want to get in line for five. Thanks LSUFan
