Like the previous poster stated "Have patience", but another thing that could be making it a bit difficult could be that you are using a TomTom, don't get me wrong they are great for what they are designed but they are designed for traveling by car not walking in the woods. When you start to get into trees and stuff like that they start to get very weak signals and bounce. You also have to remember that when the GPS says that you are at ground zero that your gps could be off by 5 to 30 feet, as well as the person that placed the cache GPS could be off by the same. So you could be anywhere from 10 to 60 feet in any direction from the cache. Usually it's not off by that far but it could be. I would recommend if this is something you really like doing and think you will keep doing it I would invest in a better GPS unit, a Garmin or Delorme etc... alot of units now have paperless caching built into them so you download straight from the computer to the GPS. Another thing to do is go caching with someone else that has been caching for a while and see what they do.

Sold...Please close thread

I'm selling my Triton 500 as I have no need for it anymore since I bought my Motorola Droid phone. I kept this gps in my car so that if a cache came through while I was out and I wanted to go get it I could but now my phone does that for me. This unit is in mint condition, it also includes the data cable to hook it up to the computer. It has only been used a handful of times. It has a 3-axis electronic compass so the compass will work when you are not moving (Like the PN-40), the unit also has a 4gb SD card in it. Any other questions please feel free to ask. I would like to get get $125 for the unit as I paid more for it.

I was wondering if there is a way to access the geocaching layer directly without having to go through the gc.com website when I am on my Droid? It would be much easier to be able to open Google maps in a browser and see all the caches.

Saw this while surfing this morning, a Bushnell ONIX 200 GPS System with TruView Navigation for $59.99 on http://www.woot.com. I check this site everyday and they seem to have some pretty good deals. Figured if someone was looking for a gps this might be an ok one to start with. Of course if your looking to get it you will have to do it today (12-23) because they change what they are selling at midnight everyday.

Check out http://www.itsnotaboutthenumbers.com/ , I'm using that website you upload your "my finds" and it will output alot of info for you then your can copy and paste the html into your profile. You can choose what you want to see and what you don't want to see.

I'd like to thank everyone that responded, it wasn't that I thought it should have been found 20 times by now just though a couple more people might have looked for it. I've planted another traditional cache not to far from it.Maybe that will draw a few people to it. I did like what the one person said about removing the line about it being our first hide, I think I'll try that and see what happens. Once again thanks everyone for the responses.

How can I advertise a cache or make it more well known? I published a multi cache almost a month ago, and there has only been 3 people that have logged it. All of them said it was a good fun cache but it doesn't seem to be very popular, is there anything I can do to steer more people to it?

I get notifications on my phone, I use Verizon I just use "my number@vtext.com" as the email and it comes through as a text. I have gotten a couple in the wee morning hours but over all I really enjoy getting them on my phone.

If you are just wanting a pdf file on your computer, I use a program call primo pdf. It adds a printer to your system that outputs to a pdf. Best part is that it's free.

We have found our first travel bug, I logged that it was found but now do I just find somewhere to put it or are there some sort of rules where it can be placed? When I place it do I just put the coordinates of where it is or how do this work I'm not really sure.
