  1. Thought about that. I went back to check and the previous pages looked still checked, but who knows if they really are. The problem is, I'm trying to create Microsoft Streets Pushpin files (PSP) by using Babel. The PSP files must match the name of the map file in Microsoft Streets, so I think I have to have only one file. I'll try tonight after my pocket querry comes through!
  2. Actually, I have a slightly different problem. I'm too impatient to wait for my pocket querry to come so I went to the new "Search for nearest caches in MD or from your home coordinates" page. I clicked the "check all" button and went to the next page. I then clicked the "check all" button and went to the next page, etc. until I had 100 checked. I then clicked Download Waypoinst and I only get 20 waypoints?????? Is there a limitation? If so, I can't find anything written about it. Any ideas?
  3. I normally create a Pocket querry for my area twice a week and have it downloaded in my Ipaq (as an e-book) and my Magellan 315 (as an easy GPS file) at all times. then if I want to suddenly go for a find at lunch or between meetings, voila! I also do have a GPS receiver for my Ipaq and the use of Streets was adequately covered by a previous poster. I do have a routing software (CoPilot) that routes well, but neither allows the inputting of lat/long coords. The neatest use I have found for the Ipaq is wireless webbrowsing to geocaching.com and as a data-entry device (for which I guess most people use an older technology called "pencil and paper." The neatest use I found was when I was planning an 18 cache day in the city of Washington DC. They were all virtual (keeps the Secret Service a little happier) so all had questions that I had to answer. I downloaded all of the caches and copied and pasted all of the questions to a Word Document on the Ipaq. I went to my 1st cache (20 degrees and windy) and took out the ipaq to write the answers. My fingers were so cold, I was about to give up the whole idea, when I accidentally pushed the sound recording button. this allowed me to record the answer as a wave file embedded in the document. GLOVES COULD STAY ON!!!! I finished all 18 in anout 3 hours and type the answers into e-mails from the playback of the waves. That was pretty cool!
  4. What if you tresspassed on the land, cut down all of the trees and mailed them to the cache-owner....would that count?? I bascially agree with the people who said that the cache-placer makes the rules for completing the cache. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't.
  5. I've always loved coins. My grandfathers both died before I was born and I have some of their old coins and it alwys made me feel good. In my adult life I found old "world" coins. I normally leave the old (100 years or so), large British pre-decimal coins. You can get them for 15 cents or so and kids (like me I guess) love 'em!
