So far so good here too. also hoping the shutdowns are fixed. with 2.94 was clicking to go to a cache and it would shut down when u looked at descriptions for me. (keeping fingers crossed and thanking Garmin for the quick beta update)

Thanks for the speed in which you acted on the restoration of the site. Glad that the majority of any damage was contained away from the servers. I think most realize the site could have been down for days or weeks due to incidents such as this and appreciate all you did to get it back up and running when you could have been enjoying the holiday. Thanks again for all you do.

I had thought about that. This was my take on it. For a cache to be SWAG usually it is a micro. While i have nothing against micros and like them when cleverly placed, i kind of think of cache placement as children. Most anyone can make a baby, but not everyone should. Or however it goes. Most anyone can hide a cache, but everyone cant make it a decent hide. I didn't quite say this right, but you get where i am going with it. For every crappy cache placed that is just one more area which voids out a 219,000 square feet of possible cache placement area. (If my math is correct.) How many times have your heard that someone found a perfect spot but there was another cache close by so the idea got abandoned? I like it when people think about the hides and tailor them to the situation. I dislike when people are driving in a car and say look a sign/guardrail where we can stick a key holder. When people have to tailor the containers and ideas for each situation- then its hard to anticipate what type of container to leave for SWAG. Maybe i think too much. Actually I believe it would be more like 1,115,136 sq ft as it would be 528 ft in all directions from the cache which would account for a 1056 ft x 1056 ft area. But that being said they found the place first and hid something there, which may be the only reason a cacher ever visited the area.

Thanks, it worked now. Appreciate the help.

I recently purchased a NEW Garmin Colorado 400t and was notified that it would extend my premium membership that I had purchased recently by an extra month. I went through the instructions and it never lights up the activate button to extend the membership. I went back to the garmin site and it says that the garmin plug-in is functioning properly and shows me my gpsr's info. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Fairly new to Geo-caching and just wondering best way to see how accurate your GPS is (calibrating an area to search when doing coordinates). had an area that when i walked north and south it showed movement but east and west jumped after i walked like 50 feet or so. This isnt usually the case but was near a rather large metal object if that matters. Using a TOM TOM 330S made for driving but has a lat / long entry screen and allows you to watch the coords change on another screen when u get close. Seems to be pretty accurate most of the time.
