It works off your gps location right?
-
Volume Toggle(Free)
it stays in the status bar so i just swipe it down, select it and choose mode.. all volumes are set.
i only use the volume buttons during a call. all ringers/notifications are set by the app.
-
for my droid.. i have an app that when in sleep mode, all i get is a ringer for phone calls.. all other notifications (noises and vibrations) are turned off.. very handy i just look at the status bar when i have time the next day.
if you have a crapple i-phone, not sure how they want you to do it....
if you have the normal type of phone (not smart) it may depend on the maker of the phone. i have seen some with different modes for ringers and such.

i do the ownerinfo thing on all my portable drives.. kinda nice with the gpsr to show it on the screen.. i knew it was there somewhere, just needed a nudge in the right direciton.
good info
-
That did the trick!!! thanks alot!!
-
Good tip!
-
That's what I was lookin for, but haven't found it yet.
I thought it'd be easy to find...

I've had a couple garmins in the past. Somewhere in all of them there was a place to put my name and number incase it was lost, an honest person could contact me to negotiate a return. I can find no such place for this information in this new gpsr.
I have not purchased a new garmin in several years. Does garmin not have a place for this any longer? Will i have to resort to a sharpie as I do for my kids when they got into kindergarden?
-
all you gotta do is let the app average many readings.. there are free apps for that that do the job. in my honest opinion.
however.. i think it's way more easier to email these cords home from the app.. and then use a full keyboard and maybe msword or something to make sure the description is spelt right and such..
i do love the thought.

My wife made us a logo with the year on it.. we then place it in the bottom of unused bottle caps and use some clear scrapbooking stuff to seal them in.. very quick to make.
-
I don't know when it was added, but i just noticed that there is a 'send to phone' option from a cache page.
When i click on it, i get basically a commercial that tells me i can search for the GC code... i kinda know that.
am i missing something? an email address or an opportunity to put in my number to send a txt was expected i think.

i have a premium member account for the family and a Droid using a 5 dollar program called NeonGeo uses the Groundspeak api.. it does everything i need. i have found a few hundred caches with it. urban and in the wild.
can't argue with success
-
set up a pocket query.. i have one that runs every other day and gives me all the caches i havent found.. it puts it in a .gpx file i can download from the websight..
just drop this file in the gpx directory on your gps...
use the usb cable and plug it into your computer.. it will be recognized as a flash drive.. find the gpx direcrory and you are good to go.

1. How is the data stored ?
dunno.. i haven't found any .gpx files on my phone.
2. Are caches stored in sub-directories in a file strucure or a database like SQLite ?
don't think so
3. Does it allow off-line maps ?
it caches maps by how and what you zoom you were at
4. Which maps are available, Google, OSM, Streemap...
google satelite and street
5. Can GPX files be imported ? Are they listed separately ?
yes and i think so
6. Can GPX file be exported ?
no
7. Can Live searches be stored off-line for future use ?
as of the latest update i think so.. haven't tried it.
8. Are MO caches available to Basic Members ?
doubt it.. you gotta login so it'll know who you are and what you ahave paid for.
9. Can FieldNotes be uploaded for logging later at Home ?
i think so..
10. What happens when there is no data sugnal ?
download a PQ ahead of time using the app and then swithch to airplane mode and cache away.. works just fine.
-
they way you are tring to do it with the plugin will load a cache at a time.. set up a pocket query to get the nearest 1000 caches or so around your home and you can load them all in a single file.
-
neongeo rocks.. map on the fly and all.. logging online.. cached offline maps.. it's great!
-
just peaked at garmens sight.. there is an etrex30 that has turn by turn.. not sure if that means street level for cities or just form city to city.. the extex20 is missing the electronic compass and the barometric altimeter..
either one of these would be great if you're a garmin fan..
our next dedicated gpsr is gonna be the magellan explorist gc.. it's much cheaper and money talks. not sure if it has turn by turn at the street level or not. we just want a dedicated gpsr for the texas challenge.. as a backup to our droids..
be there or e square!!!

i believe that is one of the 2 units they made that is made for paperless caching and onroad use... We have one and still use it when we travel. we've been very happy with it.
other units may be better in specific applications.. caching vs driving, but if you can only get one gpsr.. it's a great choice..
being older, it may not have the latest maps in it.. understand the upgrade choices for the maps.
we have found lots of caches with our nuvi.. it records field notes which can be uploaded to geocaching.com.
we now use droids for our main caching tools, but still stick the nuvi to the windshield with a PQ on it when we get on the road.
it is also ruggedized and waterproof like most handhelds.. bounces off asphalt pretty well to.. still works great.
just know what your map upgrade options are going in.. if i had the latest maps on it, it'd be great.. but i have those on my droid.
-
Here's a cache we're watching. It is a LPC (of sorts) and a Puzzle Cache. It has been in place for more than two years and FTF is still available as of now. The logs on it are hilarious! GC1Y4WW

many times i have had to go back to the truck for a pen.. if it was long the first time, it'll be 4 times as long when you're finished.
-
I use a DroidX which is great.. my wife has a Droid2 which many times is quite flakey..
let us know how the droid 3 does.. you might want to give the bionic a chance.. unless you already have.
let us know.. thanks
-
been using neon geo for severl weeks now.. any issue i had was taken care of by the developer rather quickly.. he is an individual and not a business with other proiorities. he responds quickly.
neongeo is great for getting inthe car and driving if you can stand the data on your bill. traveling it is just awsome. no pocket queries needed unless you go somewhere with no data. i haven't tried it in airplane mode yet. i assume it will handle it quite well.
-
go to settings... applications... manage applications... pick the geocaching app and then clear the cache and clear data.. almost as good as deleting and re-installing.
has cleared mine up once or twice..
-
gps status which gives you the radar in the official app does it to.. just edit the point and off you go.
there are lots of ways to skin that cat.. .
