  1. Congrats and way to go to all of you. Now get some rest
  2. We tried for 3 different icons tonight but only managed a traditional Puzzle might be MIA and the multi's math was not working in our favor. Plus our daughter was under dressed for the weather and was freezing so we left. Maybe for the next day I'll plan it a little better.
  3. Will keep it open and an eye on this post. Thanks
  4. I am currently using a Gramin Colorado 300 and I love it. We also have a Garmin ETrec Legend that the kids use. And a Garmin Nuvi for the geotruck. We have yet to have any problems with them yet. I've also heard that the Gramin Oregons are really good and if you want to do Wherigo's then you'll need one. But really it mostly comes down to what you want and can afford. As any GPS can get pretty expensive. If you want a hands on experience then attend an event in your area and I'm sure that any geocachers would be more than willing to show you theirs and how they work. So welcome and hope you enjoy Geocaching.
  5. How do I go about getting/subscribing too it? Does it matter if I am in Canada?
  6. I just subscribed too and many thanks for your time and efforts for putting this together. And for sharing it too. Great job.
  7. I was supposed to be working Sunday night till Monday morning . But since my work decieded to screw with my life and hours I now have the whole weekend off, including Monday . So I will be there. I need to pick up a Puzzle cache along the way and then I shall be there. Hopefully 12:15-12:20am, depending on traffic
  8. I just recently bought a Samsung Gravity Touch. And was wondering if anyone knows if there is an app or widget for these phones. I was just curious. Thank you.
  9. Hello, we have a Colorado 300 and we us our iPod Touch for combine geocaching. When we went on vacation this summer in the Gaspe Quebec it was great having both. I downloaded all my Quebec PQ's onto both. After we found the cache I would log my find on the iPod. Click Save&Send and it stores the log until you have a WiFi connection. When we got WiFi I just clicked on the Send All and all our cache logs were sent. I use the 2 all the time. Saves spending hours of remembering the cache and then logging all the finds of the day.
  10. From our family to all of the reviewers families Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And we look forward to next year's publishings too.
  11. We have 352 finds under our belts and sometimes we still seem like people are watching us. But I love taking the kids out with me. No one questions as to why kids are climbing,underneath things and looking in trees. Perfect caching tool, but still working on the "FOUND IT" announcement from them when they find one. KIDS!! Just try not to look suspicious and you wont.
  12. I have a Colorado 300 and we just recently bought MetroGuide software. I loaded some maps and the other day I noticed some sections of the map was missing. I want to reload the maps onto my GPS but I need to delete the old one. I just not know what map.img to delete? I don't want to delete the basemaps that came with the unit.
  13. I am looking for a program or website that will decript an encryption from a cache puzzle. I would sit there and decript it myself but it's almost 2 paragraphs long. Any help?
  14. I just recently bought a new cell, Samsung Link, and I got the unlimited web browsing for it. I tried to get onto the Geocaching site and it said that the site was to big to display. Now, I do remember seeing something about entering in the site info that is mobile friendly. Anyone know what that might be? Thank you
  15. I tried to name the GPX file from my PQ ""[drive]:\garmin\gpx"" and my computer wont let me. So I tried just "garmingpx" but that didn't work either. I'm not sure how to rename a folder that way.
  16. I am still learning how to use my new Colorado and I noticed that it takes a SD card. I was wondering, how do you put a PQ list from GSAX onto a SD card and then how do you load it to the unit? I tried it the other night by saving the GSAX file onto my SD cards from my computer. I then put the SD card into my unit and I didn't see anything. So can someone help me out? Thank you.
  17. My Colorado was set to NAD27 Canada and the Legendcx was on WGS 84. I changed the Colorado to WGS 84 also. And the software is recent. Let me know if the Datums are right or if they should be switched. I do live in Canada.
  18. We have hidden only 3 caches so far but for the last one we used our new Colorado instead of our Legendcx. When experience cachers were out looking for it they posted that the coords were off by 40m. So we went back with the both GPSr's and the Legendcx was way different than the Colorado. I would have thought that we would have had a better reading with the Colorado due to the better antenna, espically in the woods. But I noticed that the Legend has AVG (Waymarking) where the Colorado doesn't. That I know of. I did take 5 readings with each GPS. Why is it that the Legend is better than the Colorado considering the Colorado is a way better GPS? Also, which one should I be going with when posting? Thanks
  19. Thank you all for the answers. And yes, I know that they do have "real" jobs. But I just wanted to make sure that the cache was ENABLED after I changed things around, that way hopefully there wont be any problems when they do review it.
  20. Hello, I recently published a new cache, our 2nd one. And the reviewer temp disabled it due to some wording issues. It discribed, in red, what had to be changed. So I changed some things around and then I summited the changes. It has been 10hours since I did that and it still hasn't been posted yet. I was reading the letter that they sent me and it says something about posting a Reviewer note or ENABLE it before they will look at anything. So I sent a posting to Reviewer (4 hrs ago) and nothing yet. I tried looking for a ENABLE button on the editing and nothing. Can someone help me out so that we can get our cache up and running. Thank you.
  21. I was wondering about this phone. Can you use this for geocaching? Does it have GPS built in? And where abouts are you located? I live in Canada.
  22. Hello, I am trying to see if I can use my Palm Treowx for paperless caching. Ino longer have a provider for the phone but I was wondering if I can still use the Palm part for putting caching info onto it. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks.
  23. I forgot another question, sry. Can I put the cache info and logs onto my palm treo just by connecting it to the computer?
  24. Newbie here, 12 caches so far. I have been reading about cachers doing paperless caching and I have a few questions. I have a Palm Treo wx which I no longer have hooked to Telus. Now, I still have the phone but no data plan(so no internet) Can I still use the Palm Treo? What do I need to do to make it paperless, software or something? Thanks for the help.
