Thot, you can make that four out of five for Windows98. I downloaded it on my work computer with WIN98 on it and it works for it also. Thanks for this program. I have found around thirteen locationless caches now utilizing your program. Keep up the good work. LSUFan

When you do check which day to run the query, it will email you the results of that query on that day every week. If you just want to run it one time to get the results emailed and get rid of it, check the day you want the query (usually the same day) and also click the box which says to run this query only once and then delete it.

When you say box checked, are you talking about which day to run the pocket query?

In Search of Faeries had a pocket query problem the other day on another forum. The solution to that problem may also help yours too. It all had to do with accepting the terms of service. You might can read that forums discussion with it's examples and see if it pertains to your problem. Here is a link to it. As soon as the terms were accepted, In Search of Faeries started getting the emails. http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=84621 LSUFan

I took the following excerpt from Garmins website. It was from the owners manual of the basic yellow etrex, page 15, on the right hand side, to be exact. You can create or edit a waypoint on the "EDIT LOCATION" page. From the "MARK WAYPOINT" page, highlight the position coordinates field and press "ENTER". Then follow the on-screen instructions. I hope this helps you LSUFan

I'm glad that we got it to work. We both learned things about it. You just now have to go and delete all the queries you don't want, like we discussed earlier in this forum. I agree with you in the community effort that geocaching is. I've never met a geocacher I didn't like or wasn't willing to help me if needed. Thanks LSUFan

Below is an example of my pocket query page with the location of where your query listings should be located. This is a graphics box. Do you have graphics turned off in your web browser (i.e. internet explorer, netscape, etc. ) so you can view pages faster. If you do have them turned off, you'll probably have to turn them on so you can view the box. Also I don't have the option of accepting the terms of pocket queries like you do at the first of your page. I have already accepted these terms. I wouldn't think that should have anything to do with it but maybe you should click on it and accept the terms, then try it again and see what happens. My Pocket Queries Pocket Queries are custom geocache queries you can have emailed to you on a daily or weekly basis. They are in a format you can bring along with you on cache hunts on your GPS and/or PDA. You can select a GPX or LOC text file and/or MobiPocket eBook format that works with supported software applications. Because of the detailed queries, each search can run only once per day. You have up to 5 pocket queries run every 24 hour period. Using this service you agree to the terms of this license agreement.

However, a maximum of 5 queries can be run each day. Searches with lines through them are deleted searches that ran in the last 24 hours. How Pocket Queries Work Due to the complexity of Pocket Queries, a dedicated machine processes them in batches throughout the day. The order they run is based on the last time the query ran last. Priority goes to new queries first, and the others run in the order of the oldest generated. So if you have a query run once a week it will arrive on that day much faster than someone who runs the query every day. It is recommended that you stagger your queries. Or even better, create new queries only when you need them. If you don't need the files for your GPS or PocketPC, you can also run your Pocket Queries on the search page. This is also a great way to ensure that your Pocket Queries are returning the results you want.

I would also be interested in trying it out for you. I like locationless caches but usually don't have time to search all the posts to see if it has already been logged. Thanks LSUFan

When you run a pocket query, there is a checkbox to select that says "only run this query once, then remove it ". It's right below which days to run this query. You need to check this box each time you run a query if you don't want the query saved. To see what queries you might have saved do this. Click on "my cache page" on the left hand side of the main geocaching.com page. Click on "run pocket query" that's right below "lookup/email another player". The next screen should show what queries you have saved to your account. You can have a maximum of 20 queries, so you should see twenty listed. They may all have the name of new query, if you didn't specify a name when you made the original query. The date of the query will be on the right hand side of each query. Click on the name you have given a particular query. The next page will show all the parameters you specified for this particluar query. Scroll near to the bottom and you will see an option to delete this query on the right hand side. Delete it if you don't want it saved. You'll have to do this for each query that is saved to your account. Just make sure to check the box "only run this query once then remove it" each time you run a query in the future so it won't be saved. Assuming you don't want it saved. Hope this helps LSUFan

I had bought a pocket pc PDA. I went to the store and bought a pocket pc magazine to help me with my PDA and they had an article about geocaching in it. I thought it might be fun but actually forgot about it for another six months or so. I was rereading the magazine and came back across the article and decided to look it up on the internet. I saw where there were three closeby caches in the local park and went and found them with my family. I've been hooked every since. LSUFan

I have a DELL axim X5. Three of my geocaching partners also have this same setup as I do. We use GPXSonar for the geocaching part and Mapopolis for the mapping part. Mapopolis makes a conversion utility which puts the caches on your Mapopolis maps for you when you download GPX files. You also use these same gpx files for GPXSonar. It makes for easy paperless geocaching. We love ours. I would HIGHLY recommend that you get a CF GPS card instead of a bluetooth GPS for geocaching purposes. The DELL X50 has a CF slot along with a SD slot (which is where you need to store your maps and geocaching queries on). This way your Axim powers the GPS and it's all in one piece after you slide the GPS card in. If you email me, I'll send you a pic of this combination. Also, as I have stated in several other forums similar to this one, I highly recommend a drypak to protect your investment. This bag has saved my PDA from the elements countless times. You need to remember that a PDA is not as durable as a regular GPS is when out on the trails. Here is a link to it. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp...duct_id=2553355 LSUFan

I took this from Sissy-n-CR's webpage so everyone will know what they require for a stamp to be made by them. I had read some requests here on the forum asking about it. All of the info on preparing artwork can be found at the following link http://www.sissy-n-cr.com/store3.shtml LSUFan

I have the same setup as S-4-C stated. I have three other geocachers accomplices who have the exact same setup as I do. We love ours. You didn't state in your question if the DELL had a compact flash GPS card or such. If you use a gps card ( I use a Holux) with the Axim, then you don't have to carry along another gps, except maybe for a backup. This sounds like a good deal especially since DELL started offering the PPC2003 operating system upgrade again a few days ago. My other two cents worth is to protect your investment and purchase this bag below to keep it in, when out in the elements. It also floats if dropped in water. This bag has saved our PDA's several times from scratches, dirt, and water, etc. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp...duct_id=2553355 I don't think you can go wrong with this Axim. It makes for easy paperless caching. LSUFan

Deleting gallery images is pretty simple. Go to your cache profile page, and click on the gallery. Click on which gallery image you want to delete. If you are just wanting to delete the image and not the log associated with it, make sure the image you want to delete (if there are more than one with the log) is the main one open in the window. Click edit image (on top of the image), and the next window that pops up will allow you to delete it (or rotate, etc.). As far as being able to change your background on your profile page, I'll defer to other geocachers with more knowledge on that subject than myself. LSUFan

I saw this site on the web one time. I don't know if they work on the smaller gps stuff, but they have pictures of the etrex on the webpage. It wouldn't hurt to give them a call or email. They are in Florida. I would like to know if they are helpful or cheaper since I have a Garmin that may be in need of parts one day. http://www.gpsdoctor.com

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.
