  1. Yes, the space problem. Just print alternating '_' and ' ' in space groups... Or hash marks (wouldn't allow hask marks in text). Example: 'go six feet north and look up' : 'gtoh sainxd fleoeotk nuopr' With alternating '_'/' ': 'gtoh_ sainxd_ fleoeotk_ nuopr' With '#' for ' ': 'gtoh##sainxd##fleoeotk##nuopr' Looks OK to me. Print it: no folding necessary. :-)
  2. hi, when you print a cache description there's this "Additional Hint(s)" 'crypted' in rot13. You can print it crypted and you'll have the problem to decrypt the text "in the wild" (thats annoying). Or you may click on "decrypt" and print the page (+put it in your bag) without reading these lines accidentally. Not that easy. I thought about how to make this easier. I tried to find an 'encrpytion' that prevents reading the text accidentally but allowing easy decryption. See some examples: A: 'yyoeul lfoiwn ds ttohnee cuancdheer 2a0 ms mfarlolm rtohcek ' B: 'si_nn_foin_eu_uoofn__tohne__effooufre_hhfa_zeezl___nfunto_tt_rfeneos' You can't read it. But decryption is easy! :-) A: First read character 1, 3, 5, 7, 9... to the end, then restart with 2,4,6,8,... . B: Ignore character 1,3,5,7,9..., or just read 2,4,6,8,.... I think these two alternatives are better than rot13, and I'ld be happy to see one of them on geocache.com. You can try out these two encryptions (and others) on these online tools (text in german): http://www.taponet.de/projects/verschleier...er+a+small+rock http://www.taponet.de/projects/verschleier...s&modus=1weg1da Or go to the following link (in german) to read about some other ways: http://www.taponet.de/projects/verschleierung/ (german) Have fun, geotapo.
  3. I had my camera mobile with me: http://www.taponet.de/waas/Photo0002.jpg Later this day I made some more photos with my digital camera: http://www.taponet.de/waas/
  4. I had 4 and more big black satelites. Plus one black and one light W.
  5. hi, since today my Magellan Sportrak displays wrong data. It says I am 6km or 46km in the sky, and kilometers away from where I am. Is this a WAAS problem? My location is about 51N 8E in germany. Can I disable WAAS? I found two recipes, but they don't work: Pressing GOTO and NAV on PowerOn does nothing. Pressing LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT.... and 03 shows no WAAS dialog. Is there another way? When the device boots it says "Version 1.10, 2002". Shall I update my firmware? Any help welcome!
