528 Rule And Subscriber Only Caches
planetrobert replied to tossedsalad's topic in General geocaching topics
you could always punch up a search on a cache page like this one... http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp...lon=-121.806763 that will tell you if you are too close to a MOC, if it shows feet, BACK AWAY -
Are You An Ignorant Geocacher?
planetrobert replied to sept1c_tank's topic in General geocaching topics
I used the ignore button on 2 caches that nearly killed me, and yes I mean LITERALLY nearly killed me. It was all on one outing and i didn't get either one. -
I feel all warm and fuzzy inside Im gonna go get it

We have Multiple Lists, maybe you would like to advertise that as a feature that works now.

Way To Learn Who Has Viewed Your Cache Listing?
planetrobert replied to Cache Liberation Front's topic in Website
that would be cool. I'd like that idea better than having MOC. I hope this comes someday soon. -
Any Plans For Archived Caches To Appear In Pqs?
planetrobert replied to Cache Liberation Front's topic in Website
since part of the gpx file includes the tag... <Groundspeak:cache id="161153" available="True" archived="False" xmlns:Groundspeak="http://www.Groundspeak.com/cache/1/0"> note the archived="False" statement... I assume that would say True for archived caches -
Any Plans For Archived Caches To Appear In Pqs?
planetrobert replied to Cache Liberation Front's topic in Website
I don't want you to take this bad but here it goes anyway... PQ's save you a tremendous server load, YOU SHOULD BE THANKFUL that people use them as an offline DB. I ALMOST never search on the site, I use my offline DB for researching caches to do and such. I also use them for mapping uses which means i have not checked out the GC.com maps in forever. This is also part of my offline db. Offline DB in essential for the continuing functionality of the site. Power users will not swamp the site because they are browsing their gpx files. Anyway, would archived caches in a PQ of finds include coords?!? I surely hope so since I would want to be able to map out my finds. -
as I always say... Now where did I set my GPS?
-
if you are gonna use it caching it is not OT anyway, i saw a nice one at walmart
-
How about... Search for nearest caches from your home coordinates (filter out finds) ... on your account page
-
actually didn't the last guy get a year? i mean let's be fair about it. I say give it out as a bounty you find a site loophole and get an upgrade.... now that would rock

THANK YOU, i looked at my personal TB page on a dial up recently and it took forever... when i got home i saved it and it was a 800k file, NEARLY 1mb wow, you cauld save some bandwidth.

I Have Traveled To The Underverse
planetrobert replied to planetrobert's topic in GPS technology and devices
I guess i shouldn't knock it, I just need to play with it more. The <100 wpts thing bums me out. I got it for the running training aspect but I suspect I will use it for caching sooner or later. Nice page BTW -
This should tell you something. ask his 8 year old? that is awesome, an 8yr old web consultant
-
that sorta is what I am doing.... except I use the tiger server, I am thinking of using google now... i gpsbabel my pq and view it using the web maps in my own customized interface.

by all magellan users. A GARMIN I recently bought a garmin forerunner 201. This thing rocks. Not that good for geocaching, but I gotta give it kudos here. It 'seems' to get decent signal(no sat page) and I have not had it loose signal running yet, even under moderately heavy tree cover. It also is fairly simple to use and is comfortable to wear. I still don't plan on switching though from my Magellans tho, I like my mags.

I'd rather an update from jeremy

Now I know your password.... now for my trick... I pick something simple, say, 'geocaching' ill replace a letter or 2 with numbers... 'g3oc4ching' now I use my OTHER keyboard layout(the keys think they are in different spots) and it turns into this... 'u3si4ijglu' a simple word, I still type a simple word, it comes out looking like crap.

I'll stick to business cards in a bottle...

I LOVE MY MAGELLAN GPS's I bought a 315 in early 2001. It worked flawlessly for about 14 months then one day made a squeelying noise and wouldn't work any more. I called Magellan tech support. They replaced my unit even though I was 2 months out of warranty. The replacement STILL works great. I bought a Nav Companion for my palm 515 in late 2002. I have used and abused this GPS until this spring it quit working. It sat for several months taken apart. I got up the nerve to solder on it recently and now it works again. While my Nav Comp was down in april I bought a Meridian Color. I love this unit. It seems really nice and I have not had any real problems. All 3 GPS's have had an ocassional sat loss when first getting a lock. seems to go away once a good signal is gotten. My one experience with MAG tech support was good. I just like my magellans.

nah, i just decided i was being a pest.
-
the 'contact us' button, when you mouse over it has a pic of signal up above on the page looking like he is giving you the finger. "go ahead and email us, here is what we think of your message" Just thought you might want to alter the image or not, i kinda think it is funny.
