  1. I've also used GSAK for a few years. Initially got it to support formatting of pocket queries so they could be loaded as POI's on a Garmin Nuvi. We are able to setup proximity alerts for gc's based on how close they are (current set to 1500 feet). This has become something we can't live without. Currently using this on 2 Nuvi's for both vehicles. If we are within 1500 feet of a cache, we get an alert from the GPS, with a small window pop-up. We can click the pop-up and read the cache details (description, logs and hint if needed). This makes for some great unplanned caching, especially if we are in an area away from home. Initially we had simple PQ's loaded for various locations around the state, but this past year we figured out how to get the entire state of NJ loaded on the Nuvis using a series of 14 PQs (using date placed filters). I loaded all PQ's into GSAK and generate a single gpx file formatted for the garmin. Currently there are close to 12k. Thankfully both Nuvis can handle that many POI's. Also use GSAK to track stats and update gc.com profile page for more than 20 statistics including FTF's, finds by state, county, country, etc. It's a great tool that I don't think we could live without.
  2. Anyone have the Pug Geocoin available for sale? We got our hands on one last year and sent it out to travel the world, but unfortunately it's gone missing. We'd love to replace it for our collection. I've searched online quite a bit and can't seem to locate one. If you've got one for sale, please email us at njpugs@njpugs.com Thanks!
  3. We went through something similar last year when we started geocaching. My wife initially setup an account here under her own name, then once we started getting into it we realized it didn't make sense to have the account under just her name since we were geocaching as a family. The folks at geocaching.com/Groundspeak were kind enough to let us change our "name" to a more appropriate name for the family (NJPugs now instead of my wife's name). We usually cache together, but will occasionally grab a cache on our own. When we do, we sign the group name to the log and record it on the one group account here. It's been working just fine for us.
