  1. When I tried too hide a recent cache I was given a notice that it was too close to a existing cache. When I went to the geocaching map page it doesn't show a cache in that spot. So how do I find the cache that is supposedly nearby? Is it part of a multi or puzzle?
  2. Why can't I download multiple caches to my Garmin device.The page has changed and now I can only download one cache at a time.I need help with this.Have been downloading caches for years,now I can't.Has something changed with Easy GPS I'm not aware of?
  3. While vacationing over the labor day weekend I meet some cachers who had a decal on their car and they said it was a mobile cache. I can't find any inforn=mation on this type of cache,would someone tell me how this works
  4. I have a 6 month old very slightly used Oregon 600 that I would like to trade for a garmin gpsmaps 60cs in excellent condition. I had the 60cs model before I bought the oregon 600 which I don't like so I'm switching back to the 60cs. Thanks
  5. I bought a new garmin 600 gps but there is no option on easy gps to choose this model to download caches.What do i need to do?
  6. I'm looking to buy either a garmin Oregon 600 or a Garmin gpsmap 62 unit. It will be mainly for caching and would like to hear your experiences about both units.thanks
  7. I'm a birder,especially like hawks.Buteo is the genus name for several raptors
  8. I bought a oregon 550 and I'm having trouble completing downloads.The text part of the cache downloads does not show up on gps,no hints show up and no logs show up.I'm using easygps,do I need to use a different program.Thanks Buteo
  9. Are there any gps that do not use aa batteries?
  10. To all you cachers hiding caches in rest areas, please consider not placing your hides under or around picnic tables.I do appreciate your time and effort in placing hides for all of us.However it is very frustration to start a search only to find a family at said table and not having the time to wait for them to leave so a log can be signed.Thanks
  11. I would like too hear what your favorite paperless devise is.I want too buy one but have no idea what make or model to buy.Thanks for you input.Buteo
  12. I need help going paperless.Consider me a computer idiot.So how do I start. 1.what equipment do I need 2.When I download off a cache page what is that I'm downloading,the text for that page? 3.I really don't have a clue what to do. Thanks for any help or leads.
  13. I was thinking about purchasing an external antenna for my garmin gpsmap 60c and wanted some feedback. How well do they work and are they worth the investment. What brands are better than others. Any personal experiences would be appreciated.
  14. Does anyone known of a web page to convert coords from one datum to another. Example how do you convert 44.6754 N 85.7654 W to a xx.xx.xxx format?

    Read about some caches being called Terra caches? What are these?
  16. Does anyone know of a website that converts the datum formats to decimal formats? Is there a simple way to convert one format to the other?
  17. I need/would like some recommandations on external antenna's for a garmin 60c unit.Are they worth the money and what would be a good antenna.Do they really pull in a better signal.Thanks for any suggestions
  18. Has anyone at the Geocaching organization ever organized a petition to send to the State of Ohio to allow caching in State Wildlife areas.I find it disturbing that you can hunt,trap,fish,hike on Ohio state land but not be allowed to hide caches.I have talked to my local wildlife officer about this and he said the best way too change policy is a grassroot petition.I don't feel quailfed enough too start such a project but would be glad too help in what ever way possible. The same project should be started with the National Park Service and other federal lands,They are public land after all
  19. I have for sale a Magellan PC cable for the Meridan Series.It is unused in it's original package.Price is $9.99. e-mail me for payment options
  20. does anyone know of any websites thay convert street addresses into coordinates.
  21. what are offset caches
  22. I found a new cache today that I had hoped too be the FTF.There were two entries in the log but online there was only a note posted as Published.What does Published mean and can I claim this as a FTF. cache on.
