Garmin or DeLorme are the most popular and are accurate and geocaching friendly. Most folks on the forums here can help you with those.

ditto...just camo the carbiner clip...just saw one that shines a lot and made it too easy... just don't nail into tree...it just doesn't look good ...

Is it possibly that Waymarking is just too Geeky??!!

In recent memory, this goecoin: TB2DABJ Mainly because it came out of Antarctica. edit..a Hobo Nickle was way cool also...

Well, the post is there. And the post is meant for a lamp, so it's a lamp post. And there's a cache there, which makes it a lamp post cache. Sounds right to me. Hmmm..I thought LPC meant Lamp Post Cover... [newbie]

I use the field notes to record the stages of a multi-cache that I am working on. Or so I can find out what the stages were in case a fellow cacher wants to know. Otherwise, my "field notes" are in a note pad for logging later [old school, but faster].

Google Earth is not accurate enough to place a cache either. well, OK...but it is at least good to compare when you don't have a real handheld with a high sensitivity chip. You should see some of the placements around here using just smartphones. I always use a Garmin Vista HCx personally, but I check the GE to see how close it is. A lot of cachers just use GE on the smart phone [at least that what they told me]. I have never had a GZ complaint using the Garmin, but I see an awful lot of complaints about *phone placements.

I just copy and paste from the cache listing page.

If you are going to use an iPhone, better check it on Google Earth. It is very easy to do. The iPhone itself [or my Android] is not accurate enough for placing a cache [period].

It depends. Gorilla Glue for somethings. Silicone adhesive, Epoxy, and sometimes Superglue. Mechanical is the best.

If this guy was well-known in the area, meet him sometime at an event and see if you can ask him.... In any event...I don't throw down any NM or NAs....most cachers can see that it is probably not there, but then some cachers [i know of one] that will purposely search these out..

If you have kids and want to concentrate on trades in regular caches, get them in the kid's toy area at Big Lots or Dollar store. Me personally, I do not trade items, just Travel Bugs and Geocoins. Some cachers leave a signature item. I am more interested in the area, the caches itself, and the number of finds in an area that I am visiting. In the urban areas, where I live, most are micros anyway and don't have much room for trade items.

This is a high tech informations systems game. The reviewers do not need to be physically in the part of the world that his [or she] is in. I work in computer support and often communicate with support people elsewhere [even in India ]. It has more to do with the number of units that have to be supported.

They make a small rubber pad that you place on your dashtop that will keep stuff from slipping off the dash. It works for handheld GPSrs, glases, phones, etc. [$5-10]. I use two [one for the NUVI with beanbag and one for the handheld].

DITTO It is only $30 for 13 months. Ever pay for a golf course fee?? Ever see the perks the politicians get??

DITTO I am sure this has been said.. I make the new ones PMO to keep traffic down so it doesn't get muggled. Then I will turn it loose [unless it is in total muggle territory]. In my area, mostly the regulars are PM anyway. I figure it will save me work as a CO.

You fell for the "geocaching.com guideline trick". You don't need to follow the guidelines and report every wet logsheet. You certainly don't need to log a needs maintenance note. And You absolutely don't need to write clear articulate logs turning yourself in for not logging on the logsheet. Just post a short log that says Thanks for hiding the cache.....that's it... nothing more. Now get back out there and find some caches....and remember to have some fun while doing it! I do not think that I saw a post noting that signing the log is "required" is not anywhere in the guidelines....this is an old topic really.......

I leave nothing. Some of my caches are nanos. All the contact info is on the web page. It is just not needed...this is a web based hi-tech game.

This is a gross generalization. --A Newbie iPhone User Better send better logs then... or just go home and use a computer.

The iPhone screws up and they keep sending it because they think it has not been sent. What a nuisance ......

I have never found the smartphone to be fast enough, accurate enough, reliable enough to a regular GPSr with paperless capability to use as a sole geocaching tool. And it is totally useless when there is no reception. [Do you want to find caches or not??]

That is why I don't do FTFs....or jump out of my chair and drive off.. that is not what caching is about for me. Simple as that..

short answer is NO, you don't have that right yes they are extremely annoying but a new breed is emerging, the "blank log" THE NEW BREED...or the NEWBIE..better known as the iPhone [Android now] cacher...log on the fly. Face it.."the times they are a'changing" per some old dylan guy back when...

Yep..I have some... Also, no thank yous also [tftc]... Must be the iPhone folks... Newbie iPhones folks...I have met one in the field recently...he is a CO too...
