    Fires Aug/Sept 2020

    in Northwest

    Posted

    Can anyone speak to the survival of some of the oldies in OR/WA such as GC12, GC16, GC17, GCD, etc. etc. through the fires that have plagued Oregon and Washington?  Too soon to tell?  Not in the path?  Needs Maintenance?  (nobody better reply with "needs archived" for these gems...)

     

    Thanks--iHam

    Why no more updates for Geomate Jr?

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    Thank Goodness for REI's return policy. We picked up one of these for the general "we're in a random place, are there any caches around?" type caching right after the new year. Never could get the updates to run on my Win7x64 laptop (nor my wife's) and Apisphere wasn't returning my tech support emails...at least now I know why they weren't returned. {sigh}. On the upside, the local Wally World was clearancing out some Legend HCx's for only about $15 more than the Geomate w/cable, so we returned the Geomate at REI this afternoon and picked up the Legend this evening...

    I am not aware of any GPS that does not create a track log. And there are lots of freeware programs that can read the tracklog from the GPS and save it in a format readable by most programs. There should be no cost involved in providing a track log.

     

    Actually, there are a number of low-end and older GPSr's that have no connectivity capability at all. The Garmin Geckos come to mind, as do the lower end Magellen Explorists...

    WA State Parks on the chopping block?

    A national park you will spend a whole day there, where a state park you may just want to take the kid there for an hour, and you are not likely to go park hopping on one day's fee.

    The easy solution was to get the annual window sticker and be done with it...I was a bit annoyed when they dropped the fee...just a couple of weeks after we'd payed for the renewal on our sticker. :ph34r:

     

    I do wish there were an "uber-sticker" that would cover forest service/state parks/wilderness areas/snow areas, etc., but that would require too many agencies in the gubmint to actually TALK TO EACH OTHER.... :)

     

    Sorry to see Dash Point on the list...it's a nice quick getaway from Federal Way and Tacoma....

    Don't have the gear for it, but my understanding is that in the Seattle/Tacoma area there is quite a bit of Geocaching activity on one of the local 220 machines...now I just need to get some 220 gear :)

    Account name

    in How do I...?

    You can change it but you will end up having to relog all of your finds on that account and delete them on the old account. If you just started out it's not too bad but if you have a bunch....good luck! :o

     

    That's not true, Contact Groundspeak, and they will change the name for you, on a case by case basis, and you won't have to relog ANY of them.

     

    Does that include Trackables, or just caches?

    I've been trying to figure out if there is a way to incorporate APRS into a cache clue...even for folks without APRS equipment, there is always Findu.com, so it would be more widely available...just not sure of a "clean" way to go about it yet...

    New "my Cache Page"

    That was a pleasant surprise!!!

     

    One bug I noticed...I entered a log for a benchmark a couple of days after I found it. In my list, it shows the date the log was entered, not the date that the benchmark was found :blink: . When I click on the found date on the calendar (which is great, btw!) it shows correctly in the list for that date...it seems to only be an issue on the main my-cache page.
