    Field notes & Garmin 62S

    in How do I...?

    Posted · Edited by budbon

    Thanks everyone. I think I have finally got a handle on it - or maybe 1/2 a handle. When I looked on my profile page I see where in a couple of cases I double logged a fine. Any suggestions on how to delete one of the logs?

    Field notes & Garmin 62S

    When I upload my field notes from my 62S to Geocaching.com, I go to the field note section under my profile. I see the new field note listed. Do I then have to "Compose a Log" or is it done automatically? If automatic, how do I edit comments?

     

    I recently deleted over 100 logs. Are they recoverable?

    Coordinates on 62S

    My Garmin 62S shot craps on me so I sent it in and got a refurbished. The coordinate readout looks like this:

     

    13 S 0259097

    utm 4121796

     

    How do I get it back to showing coordinates as:

     

    N44 01.423

     

    W121 13.776 or whatever?

     

    How to use overlay maps?

    I'm deep in the weeds of understanding here. I have a Garmin 62S. I've downloaded the Colorado topo from GPSFileDepot as well as Alpine loop trails which is transparent. Does the transparent mean I can overlay it onto the Colorado topo and have the trail show on my GPS? If yes, can someone tell me how or point me to a tutorial?

    Who approves new hides?

    Sorry about getting back so late. My post did lack content - my bad. I eas looking to see how to find who approves a casch hide. You answered that succesfully. My reason (content). There seems to be a misunderstanding concerning hiding geocaches in our local National Forest (San Juan National Forest). Although I have found 3 listed caches in the forest my understanding is no more will be approved as there are restrictions against such activities in the San Juan National Forest. Last summer as a result of many phone calls I was finally directed to the Forest Patrol (police) Officer. Ha said "Geocaching id prohibited. and I will remove any found ." When I asked for the particular law, edict or rule concerning the matter, he said he would get back to me. He never did.

     

    In the fall, I happened to attend a disclosure meeting concerning another forest matter. At that time, I had ocassion to bring up the geocaching matter with the Distric Ranger. He said he was unaware of any geocaching restrictions and had not directed any himself. A few days ago (Feb. 15 or so) I once again phoned, and was put in contact with, the senior Forest Patrol officer, whom it seems is new to the area, having transferred from the National Parks. In my discussion with him he indicated there are no such restrictions to his knowledge. Taking my phone number, he said he would look into the matter and call me if such restrictions existed. I have not heard from him.

     

    This is a long post to explain why I wanted to contact whoever is in charge of approving geocach hides in our area and discover if he has information contrary to the above. The San Juan Forest comprises countless miles of hiking trails, ATV trails, Motorcycle trails, 4 wheel trails as well as any number of activities for boats, fishing, etc. It seems a shame not to include the favorite activity of many of us.

    How to delete duplicate finds

    I did as Pup Patrol said. It seemed to work on a couple but now when I click on my Field Notes I gar the message "No logs have been found for your account at this time." Sheeeesh!

    I am reasonably computer literate but maneuvering around this site seems akward to me. Now I sit with no field notes. Earlier I tried to find instructions concerning deleting multi enteries and had to come to the forum. Maybe my computer literacy is in the bucket.

     

    Having said that, I appreciate the help all of you have given.

    I thought I had deleted all of the duplicate finds. Are the ones listed below still duplicates?

     

    Got it, thanks.
