Advice on HTC (or windows mobile)
Nediam replied to iCARUSmith's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
I've got a HTC TYTN II and have had it for quite a while. The GPSr with Memory-Map works ok so long as your moving at a reasonable pace. If you stop and then start moving slowly to narrow down the search area, the GPSr can't keep up. But I find that if I use the direction arrow on Memory-Map and walk to within an indicated 20feet of the cache - then it's not a million miles off I had similar problems with the old CF card GPSr in my PDA but the new one works fine I bought the TYTN as a "back up" should anything happen to my PDA whilst out caching and also as an "all-in-one" device that I could carry around all the time and use for a spot of casual caching as and when I got a chance. It works great for this and I'd recomend it to anyone as a secondary GPSr unit. As regards battery life - With Memory-Map and the GPSr running - it's short, very short - a couple or three hours tops. Don't know if there are any other devices out there at the moment that can use Memory-Map and have a better built in. But I'd be interested in hearing about them for when my contract is up.... -
Now that is a ding... Doesn't look like Chudley Cannons have got a new one, so i'll jump in with this.....
-
Here's one then. Probably quite easy (and may have been done before? ) Name the pentagonal feature and the cache: Feel free to self-ding as appropriate... Sorry, but WRONG! No ding... It is Chim Chiminey - GC1BA1E and the "pentagonal feature" is Fort Cumberland I'm happy to wait for Chudley Cannons to post a new one if they wish after getting aRRKS's post

Next...
-
The World's Your Oyster - GC1Q8ZF, Lindisfarne. New one soon.....
-
To keep things moving here's a nice simple one....
-
Got to leave soon and I'll be without internet for a couple of days. I'll keep this one nice and easy(ish). To avoid any confusion, the caches name I'm after is related to the 2 main features in the pic You'll have to self ding this one I'm afraid.
-
Yep It's near Doune Castle (location for Monty Python's QUEST for the holy grail) The cache is GCJPYV - Monty Python's Holy Grail
-
DING!!! Over to you.....
-
Right city but sorry, wrong cache! That cache is too far north. The cache I posted is a bit further south and has to do with the clue in my original post
-
Gillette.........
-
Tut! That's a terrible clue! It's Abbey road? - GC1NAAP Near Furness Abbey
-
This might be easy enough without a clue. If not I'll add one
-
Is it Sainted - GCBF12. Near Dounreay, Scotland?
-
DING!!!! Over to you...

you should look at this one in awe...
-
It's Tanera's Treasures - GCPY0H on Tanera Mor island, Scotland. New one soon........
-
Just had a look at it and loaded the Windows Mobile version onto my HTC TyTnII. Worked ok and obtained info for my 5 nearest caches based on my GPS position It seemed to not be able to access my GPS reciever until I ran memory-map in the background. Seems a really nice application to have handy if you get a few minutes spare to go caching and don't want the hassle of trying to get data off the full website via a mobile phone - I like it!
-
DING!!! Over to you.....
-
I wonder if this supplies the electricity to Mr Giggs' house......
