I would like to echo this statement. I just got back from a month long road trip, primarily camping, in the U.S. and Canada, and with very little internet service along the way. I haven't counted my caches yet, but I would estimate that I have found over 250 earthcaches and virtuals. This requires a lot of emails. I sent several emails, then got caught and couldn't email any more. So I logged some of those caches, then went back to emailing my cache answers. Then hit that magic number again and went back to logging. Then I tried to email again and it said "sorry, you have exceeded your email quota". So that suggests I am limited to about 20 emails a day. At this rate, it will take me over 10 days just to email all my answers, further slowing down my logging. As previously mentioned, the window to type for messages is extremely small. Many earthcache responses are several lines of text. In addition, some COs specify to email them, not message. I don't have reliable internet service at home and have to go to the library to log my caches. I thought I would speed things up by compiling all my answers already typed up and ready to go before I even got to the library. I wanted to send all my emails before I started logging because some COs say right on the page that you need to send your answers before/concurrently with your log or they might delete your finds. I am not looking forward to how many trips to the library I will need in the future just to log all my caches. I don't really have any suggestions as to how you can improve this, but it is really frustrating for those honest cachers that are just trying to log a bunch of caches. Please try to resolve this problem so we can get back to logging and caching.

create a path with google earth and save it as a .kml. Import the .kml into the CAR. Thanks! That worked!

How do I create a route along a bike trail, rather than a road? The bike trail is along a former railroad grade and does not parallel roads. When I try to create a route, the path is automatically selected along the nearest roads and not the trail. I've tried to move the path to the trail but it will not move the entire route to the trail.
