    Just run a pq for all my found caches and there seems to be a discrepancy :P

     

    The pq came back with 4449 caches but i have done 4462 and the difference hasnt been done in the last couple of days but over the last two weeks <_<

     

    Anyone else had an issue???

    pocket queries

    Not done a lot of caching recently, and noticed recently that my pq's came through with;

    Your pocket query is ready to download ....................

    meaning i had to go to the PQ page and download.

     

    However not all of them require me to do this, or is it just the fact im doing it from a different pc?

    :D

    After a good few years service, my Mio P550 has decided it does not want to play anymore:mad: i like the 550 as i run cachemate MM and Tom Tom all from the same machine.

     

    I have managed to crack the screen and it has got wet!

     

    Now the question is.................well there is more than one actually :D

     

    1/ do i just send it off and get it repaired, if so where do i send it?

     

    2/ Do i just buy another P550, as it's what i am used to, and i have all the holders and leads etc

     

    3/ Is it time to upgrade to a newer model, but whats the differences in the mios between the 360 the 560 the 702.

     

    4/ Is there something better?

     

    Thanks

    Quality of caches

    in United Kingdom and Ireland

    Posted

    :) I did 18 caches yesterday, most of them micros, most of them in "nothing special places".

    I had the very same conversation with Woodbury Walker this morning about this subject.

     

    No disrespect for the newer cachers out there, but the more people that have joined this hobby the quality of caches does seem to have come down.

     

    Caches seem to be set without to much thought.

     

    IMHO we should not be allowed to set a cache until we have found a certain amount, that way we could get a measure of what is good and what is not so good.

     

    Nowadays caches are set by people who have not even found any, how do they know what "good" is?

     

    Just my opinion ;)

     

    you placed you first cache with less then 50 finds and about 3 weeks after you started. Surely you have been learning as you go along? Would you have been pleased with such a restriction as a new cacher? How do you look back on your first cache now?

     

    Placing a restriction on a free recreational sport is less then constructive imo. Tis probably far better for people to start being a bit more honest in logs, and/or start talking to/mailing CO's their thoughts about their cache. Not every cacher reads the forums, most happily cache away and log/place caches without ever looking here.

     

    As i said; "In my humble opinion"......................... :(

    If there was a restriction, when I started, I would have had to abide by it, same with all sports/hobbies :)

    How do I look back on my first cache?

    It wasn't a bad first effort, read the recent logs, it seems that people like it, it has views, a nice walk and it's not a 35mm micro and it's an interesting hide.

     

    Just my opinon....................like my signature line says, everyone is entitled to express their views!

    Hmm...

     

    Download 5.3.2 or later to support the digital map shop. Zoom out and go into the shop, select World Map and pan over to the USA. Go into the the shop and download the USA basemap, scroll to Arizona and go back into the digital map shop, there you'll find the Arizona map.... BUT... it's 49.95 USD to download it!
