    Puzzel Cords

    Posted

    Sorry folks. Problem found. Seems that this one letter box hybrid cache does not have the option to change the cords.

     

    Thanks for the responses...

     

    Cheers

    Are you not seeing the pencil icon next to the coords on the cache page? I'm still able to correct coords on a mystery cache I opened. I'm using Firefox, what type of browser are you using?

    Has anybody noticed that you can no longer correct the cords on a puzzle cache once you have solved it??

     

    Is this something new??? Iv looked on the forum and cant find any info...

     

    Am I missing something??

    Map icons not working

    in Website

    Posted

    Found this post while searching for info on my current problem:

     

    I don't see any cache icon on the map at all!

     

    Icons appear if I choose a pocket query to be visible on the map, but returning to search mode the map is empty again.

    And: yes, there ARE caches!

     

    I am: WEB01, MacOSX 10.7, Safari 6.0.4

    I see now that maybe that's not what you were talking about. Sorry. Still, if you can keep that terrain rating average over 2 you're doing good...

     

    For sure took me a couple of weeks to get my avg up to 2. I had to look for >4 terrian caches and let a bunch of easy ones go.

     

    It seems that if you want your T number high you need search for only high terrain caches early on.

     

    Thanks again for the info.

    It depends on how you're accessing your stats. Click your name in the top right corner of the website, and your profile will come up. You have a "Quick view" list of links that are in your profile.

     

    I am NOT talking about the tabs you see when you click "Your Public Profile."

     

    In that "Quick view" list you have a link for Statistics. That statistics page will either have just recently been updated or will have a button allowing you to update your stats.

    At the top of your statistics page, there should be big button that says "Refresh Statistics now. Last updated: ***" The stars would be the last time you updated it.

     

    It sometimes will refresh on its own, in which it will say that it was refreshed less than a minute ago. If you can't click the button, then they are up to date

     

    Thanks for the info. I must have missed the button you reference. The only 'Buttons" I see are the Basic, Maps, and Milestones.

     

    Ill keep looking.

     

    Thanks

    Manage Bookmarks

     

    Bookmark lists allow you to group geocaches however you like. You can create lists such as your favorite geocaches of all time, your ultimate finds "wishlist," or the best caches for out-of-town guests. Lists can remain private or be shared with others. Watch a screencast on how to create a bookmark list or see the instructions below.

     

    To create a bookmark list:

     

    Visit the bookmark list page

    Give the list a name and click "Create List"

    Enter a description of the list and choose whether you want others to view it

     

    To add a cache to your bookmark list:

     

    Visit the cache details page

    Click "bookmark listing" in the navigation table at top-right

    Select the bookmark list that you want the cache added to from the drop-down menu and add any comments

     

     

    Thanks!!

    Can u change the sequence of found caches on my cache page.

     

    I mistakenly logged the wrong cache for my 500th find. Is ther a way to crroect this mistake??

     

    Thanks for any help....

    You can go to your "Account details" section of your profile and edit milestones. From that page, scroll down to the third box on the right for your statistics. From there, you can edit your milestone caches by clicking on the small "change" in that box, and then scrolling down to the box on the next page generated to "Milestone Overrides".

     

    Success!!! lol Thanks for the help...

    Magellan Explorist GC - How do I delete found caches?

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    Is there a way to delete "found" caches from the GPS other than manual AFTER you have down loaded them to Geocache.com and cleared the "new log" file on the unit.

     

    Thanks in advance

     

    Hello Duck,

     

    Just so you know, you can post Geocaching question on the Magellan Insiders forum and someone there will help you also since most of us our avid cachers.

     

    The best way that I've found to manage caches on the unit, especially my "found" caches is to simply create pocket queries that exclude the caches I've found and then delete all of the caches on the unit and reload a freshly ran copy of the pocket query on the until before going out to cache. I know several people that take hours managing their caches trying to keep their found caches in one database in GSAK and other caches in that database and so on. I'm sorry, but I'd rather be caching than sitting behind a computer!!! Especially since I do enough of that at work and keeping up with the forums that I monitor for Magellan.

     

    If you're using Magellan's Vantage Point software of GSAK it will only take you about 2 minutes to do the whole process. I have a pocket query setup for several areas around where I live that load between 4000 to 5000 caches and I have some of them setup to refresh every day. However, I also have others have I can just run on the day that I need them. First, turn on your GPS and delete all of the caches and waypoints (I store any special waypoints that I need to keep on my computer). Open VP or GSAK and use the automatic pocket query download feature and then transfer them to the unit. Personally I don't bother with transferring the image because it takes up to much memory on the GPS and it takes too long to transfer. Doing this process I can load around 5000 caches in about 2 minutes and be ready to go out the door!

     

    However, if you're using a MAC, just do the same process though you'll have to manually download the PQs and copy them to your GPS which will take a bit longer.

    Thanks David as a matter of fact I just joined the Megellan Insider yesterday and got approved last night...Thanks and I look forward to the info I can obtain there. At first I wasnt sure if I could post questions there but now I know...lol

     

    With that said I have followed your advice. I use vantage point with queries created from Geocaching.com however, when I update Vantage point with a updated querys I still get the ones that Iv already found also. I do have the radio button selected on the query options page to not refresh the "logs found" but I still get them :huh: ...... Ill go back and check again.

     

    Thanks again for the help and will see you at Megellan Insider.

    Hush my mouth - Wood Duck is a Premium member - why does it show on the forum that he is not?

     

    Different servers, and they are 'not in sync' :unsure:

     

    Wood Duck. Log out of the forums, then log back into the forums.

    That usually solves things , with regards to PM status in the forums!

     

    will do thanks
