My wife & I are relatively new to this. We live in Scarborough and have been spending quite a few days in the Rouge finding caches. Usually a few hours on the weekends when we aren't at our cottage (or on Sunday afternoons after we've returned), and in the evenings for a couple hours after work. We think it would be more fun and interesting going out with others as a bit of a team effort, not to mention just to get to know some other folks who enjoy what we've started doing without the head scratching and looking at us like we have 5 eyes

Good morning, I've done a lot of searching around last night and this morning for a resolution to this issue, and I'm coming up short. I guess I'll get the important stuff out of the way: -Garmin Nuvi 265WT -GSAK w/ jjred's nuvi macro I have the alert type set up as Tourguide (Radius). My distance is 5280ft. I'd like to keep this distance so when we're out and about, we have a decent radius bubble around us so we can make detours and pitstops. My problem is, we were in the Rouge Valley up here in Toronto, and there are a TON of caches around. Turned on the GPS, and immediately got pounded non-stop with the yellow tourguide screen showing the names of caches. If I acted fast, I could get to view map and then it was ok. But if I went to Where To? to show the nearest caches or to read the description, the yellow started again. Just kept cycling over and over and over and.. you get it So I guess after all of that, is there a way to disable the yellow messages popping up? In some areas its not so bad, but in the end aren't really necessary. The small message while viewing the map is fine. Perhaps I just need to learn how to fine-tune jjred's fine macro to suit my needs more, possibly by just using multiple databases to sift out this particular area and lower the alert distance. Thanks for any help!

Greetings from Toronto, Ontario! I first heard of this a couple of years ago from a friend, and it was interesting, but things in life just got very complicated and frustrating, and promptly forgot about it while things got in order. A few years later, things have become "uncomplicated" and I live in Toronto now after moving up here from Niagara Falls, NY. Recently I got a Garmin Nuvi 265WT for wife and I to use when we go off driving to places unknown (and to use for my job), and when i registered it, it had something about geocaching on it. Remembering back, I was instantly interested again. Talked to my wife about it, since she mentioned wanting to go out walking/hiking more, and she was pretty interested too. So we were down visiting my parents this past weekend, and on Friday we decided to go off and look for a couple which were literally at the end of their street. Searched for one for a while, but gave up after about 10 minutes as there were people working in the area. Walked further down the Niagara River, and after about 20 minutes of not really knowing what to look for, we found it! Now she's hooked as well. Spent 4-5 hours the next day looking for more around Niagara Falls. There was one that escaped my notice, so we were talking to my brother and sister-in-law about it around dinner, and they wanted to go with us to look for it. You guessed it, now THEY'RE hooked too! Then the day after that, my brother and I head out to Grand Island, NY and found 5 more in the morning. We would have kept going except the clouds started to look pretty nasty. By the end of the weekend, I logged 12 finds. I don't think thats too shabby considering we were all new, didn't really know what exactly we were looking for, and all were new to the GPS. Now wife is looking at travel bugs and geocoins, and I'm looking at a smaller handheld (Garmin Legend or Vista or something of that nature).
