As I hope to have a look for one of these soon, with my new PDA and bluetooth GPS, what is the well known static navigation problem? It's not well known in my house
I think it's the refresh rate - unless you walk or trot as some speed it struggles to update itself. I think Bob Smith could clarify or explain this better that I can.
I really liked the idea of this and was looking forward to trying it out.
Unfortunately, without my own PDA, (I forgot to bring it!)
I wasn't able to play around with the software whilst on site.I am looking forward to a revist soon.

How about Reviewers' Revenge?
Nothing gets published unless it's a large ammo box, at least a mile from a parking spot, and full of useful items costing several quid.
I'd go for that... as long as there is a micro to find on the way.

BUS STOP FEVER?
Nanos at every bus stop?

Poor Ian!
I feel you have been a little unlucky
I currently have 60+ live caches, and another maybe 20-25 + being kindly maintained by others.
Since 2004 I have had 2 caches muggled, and 2 caches I have had to archive because of my friendly (NOT) local council.
Go for micros and nanos Ian!
They last longer and are more of a challenge

I spend a time taking several readings when placing a cache, and usually decide on an average of a few readings over 5 minutes or so... and then I take an average of an average. Then I get home and look at my coords in google earth and fine tune (rightly or wrongly). I apparently have a few caches in the Thames!
I know of one prolific cacher who deliberately doesn't post accurate coords on his/her caches
Just makes it more of a challenge I guess.
When searching I get to 30-40' of a cache I start looking anyway

I have a stamp but rarely use it as yes I do think the date should be included in the log entry.
Seems pointless stamping the log and then writing the date in ink.
Now if I had a stamp with a date facility on it things might be different....

I don't have the patience to read through this long thread and counties list, so I will spoil my ballot paper and vote for both.
I won't complain of the outcome either way.

Many thanks for the fix!

edited to add to keep it on topic: make some calling cards
If you must. But PLEASE, PLEASE don't leave them in the logbook so they fall out all over the place when signing the log

Oh yes I forgot about that one!

My Spectrum had 16kb.
Anyone had anything smaller than that?

Look what I found!

Thanks Jaz666, sorry I missed the thread.
Perhaps a kind person would lock this thread now so we can all follow the existing one
Thanks, Jon

I use Firefox/Greasemonkey. Some time ago my OS map disappeared and was replaced with a blank 'pink' map.
The OS NPE verison is there, but not the modern version. I just loaded Edgemasters script again but still get the pink map.
Any ideas please?

Any chance of getting this thread pinned?

My point being I am sure there are many cachers unaware of this site who would either like to add their own records to the list or be able to update existing, and possibly innacurate, records.
Why is the bookmark list held privately?

Hello,in the past i have tried unsuccessfully to join this system of cacher of the month and found it too complicated.with all the stats on the website why cant this be done automatically? jeff bones1.4035 cache finds.
I recall asking this question some time ago... what a good idea?
Oh and I had no problem logging my Jan stats earlier in the week.

Very well done - congratulations!

Well done you two - a great milestone!

GC.com is a business, not a democracy.
Exactly! They have customers and they should listen to them.

Just a suggestion, but how about just provide an option for premium members to be able to turn off the adds if they want to?
Why have the PTB not polled their membership to ask their opinions and preferences on this? Seems yet again they do what they want and end up on their back foot trying to defend themselves.

I am having trouble uploading images today. I have reduced my images to just 137kb, and still getting the 'sorry, error' message?
Edited to say even 83k file is still not uploading

I'd add your name to the 'set by' link, while keeping the setter's name there too, thus: A cache by The Wotsits, maintained by ForsdykeFinders.
Sound advice. I know of a least one adopted cache where the original cache-setter's name has been deleted, thus giving no credit to the actual cacher who originally placed the cache!

how about organising a GEOMEET in that nice club of yours?
In the summer!!!
I wasn't able to play around with the software whilst on site.

On Saturday it took Bob Smith and me around 9 hrs to do 30, and that's on bikes!
Excellent effort. Well done indeed.
