Only one of them is still active and there's a DNF log for me, but not for him. Thanks for your help. Pete

Neither my grandson nor I can remember the geocaching name we set up for him. Can you help? It probably contains the name "Zach" and "Gramps". He lives in San Jose CA, and has only two or three finds (all in the San Jose area.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Gramps (Pete)
geocaching name = Camnpete

I've used the Garmin 62S for geocaching for years, and really like it. But now I have to replace it...Does Garmin have a newer model that is an "improvement" over the 62S?

Thanks to both of you for your inputs.

How do I download waypoints to my Garmin GPS? Can I create a list on my iMac and then download that list somehow? Thanks
-
Can anyone suggest a location besides geocaching.com where I can see detailed maps showing the locations of nearby geocaches. I find geocaching.com very cumbersome and frustrating. Thx

How can I use the geocaching.com maps to identify caches near large cities in europe? Or is there an easier method to do so? Thanks
-
Is there a reset button somewhere that allows me to get rid of that previous cache onformation and start over again? THANKS for your patience.
Just tap over the map... anywhere.
PS: Not over other cache circle... unless you want to search for a given one.
Thanks RuideAlmeida. That worked. I'm anxious to begin using the new app. I really appreciate your input. Camnpete

OK, I'm officially a geodork...I did ""Tap "Map" at the bottom of the app"". I then got a map of the location of a cache I had been seeking earlier, and the narrative from that cache scrolling along the bottom of the screen, to the left of the START arrow. Is there a reset button somewhere that allows me to get rid of that previous cache onformation and start over again? THANKS for your patience.

what are the caches closest to my current location?
As soon you run the app, and log with your profile, you should see a map based on your current location (you are where it is a blue circle pulsing). If there are any available caches close by, please choose one. You will see it show up in the bottom of your screen. Select it to scroll into the full screen. Now choose "About" to read the listing; "Activity" for previous logs, etc. If you want to search for it, choose the arrow on the top right with "START" under it.
At the risk of seeming to be a real geodork...when I tap "profile" I get my picture, my username, # of finds. "premium Member", "there are no trackables in your inventory", and a "search for trackables" link. That would seem to indicate I'm already signed on. But I can's find a map which displays my location and nearby caches. Help!

I tried that a couple of tumes but it doesn't seem to address how to use the new iphone app. I'm wanting to answer questions such as "what are the caches closest to my current location? How can I read the description, latest logs, CO's hint, etc. on one convenient page? Thanks
-
Can someone pease tell me where to go to learn how to use the new iPhone app, It seeems very unintuitive

Hi to The A-Team.
Thanks for the information and alternative options. I'll give it a try and advise if it doesn't work, but I understand what you're saying. Thanks again. Pete

Hi Hans,
I must be doing something wrong. I have the 62S connected to the imac and I've located, but not opened, Garmin/Garmin/GPX on the 62S. Then I click "download to GPX" on the cache's webpage, but it's not getting to the GPS. Do I need to drag and drop anything? If so, which part of the cache's web page do I need to D & D? The GC#? The cache name?
Thanks,
Pete

I used to be able to go to geocaching.com and find a cache that I wanted to download to my 62S. After connecting the 62S to my iMac, all I had to do was click on "download to GPS" on the cache page and then click on "write" and all of the cache information would be transferred to my 62S. NOW I'm not allowed to click on "Write". so I'm no longer to able to download individual caches to my GPS 62S from my IMac, (which is running IOS version 10.12.1). HELP!
-
Unfortunately the 62s does not support Wherigo. I believe only the Oregon and Colorado series worked with them. Many of the wherigos do not work so well on these garmin devices. It was an idea that was released to garmin and never really got past the initial stages. The best bet for wherigos now a days is a smart phone as the Wherigo players on these devices are being updated by the community.
Hi Forest Ghost. THANKS for the update. If I had known that before I could have saved myself a couple of hours of trial and error. Now I'll give it a go on my iPhone5. Thanks again.

How do I download the Wherigo Player onto my Garmin 62S? I use an iMac computer. Thanks

I'd like to be able get access to a data base that contains only archived caches, even if I don't know any of the parameters that would normally be used in a PQ (cache name, GC code, etc.). I'd ideally like to be able to run PQ'ish type reports against that data base. Suggestions?

You can just leave them be. Geocaching.com occasionally does "housecleaning" and archives caches that remain unpublished for some period of time. This has occurred recently enough, as within the last year. You can always access it and use it for other things -- such as online photo storage -- for one.
No matter what you do, however, those cache ID numbers will forever be linked to your account. Once issued to that account, they are part of the account history. Archiving them will stop the "reminders" that pop up from time-to-time.
You could re-use the number for another cache (not archiving it). Simple enough to just re-write (edit) the entire thing and use it.
I archived them and that did the trick. Thanks!
-
As above, you'll need to either archive or re-write them as new caches.
I had exactly this issue as I had an unpublished cache which I just wanted to delete...but couldn't seem to find a way.
It sat in my profile for months and I was resigned to the fact it would probably be there irritating me forever, until a few days ago when the lightbulb flickered on and I thought ARCHIVE!
Yep, did the trick and it's now gone

I archived them and that did the trick. Thanks!

Is there a Forum topic where I can list my old GPSr to sell it?
