  1. Based on your reply I looked at Cachly. Unfortunately that is not a free app. I already pay the $30 annual premium membership. As for developing from scratch, I don't think that is what would have been needed. You know that the coding used to display the cache location on the desktop computer, iPhone, Android phone etc. is all the same. Data transfer uploading and downloading etc. is all the same. Where things differ is only in the HTML, CSS and some of the script files. Having written enterprise level applications and been a full stack developer, I know that kind of stuff to assigned to junior programmers. I can just imagine back in the early days when the home brew website that was the beginnings of Goundspeak, I can recall the usage by cachers was starting to overwhelm the servers and response times were real slow. What if they had said "Ah! Screw it. It's going to be too much of a hassle to upscale this app. Let's just abandoned the project all together." They are in the coding and information business. Don't you think it would behoove them to keep up with technology. So I have a question for you Keystone; How many of your phone apps have disappeared because the platform upgraded? Personally I have not lost a single one since I started using a smart cell phone. Finally one more question was the app also abandoned for Android devices? Or was there never an app for Android watches?
  2. Geocaching using the watch would be a great idea, even if initially we could only use the watch to navigate to cache. Of course would like the other to see other features later like logging and uploading to watch so you can disconnect from the phone
  3. Why can't I update my profile page? The format of this page seems to have changed recently. After updating my Bio, I typed in the security word and clicked saved. The transmission returned an error stating that my user name (which is White Dane & Irish Setter) needs to be between 2 and 20 characters long. Obviously mine is longer, so do we have to change our user names now?
  4. Could you post the full link please - can't find it from your post Thanks http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/125891 All those people threatening to withdraw their PM subscription or archive all their caches need to calm down a bit. The Google Map link is still available on each cache page allowing you to view a single cache on Google Maps, that's never been taken away and isn't likely to be; and there's already at least one script (above) which will put the Google maps & satellite view back on the 'Geocaching.com' maps page. What's the problem? I guess the problem is we are not all grease monkey users. So some more detailed instructions on the installation of this script would be appreciated if it is so great. I installed grease monkey. Downloaded the script. The posted link took me to a script called SweetIM, looked to be some emotiocns. Ran it anyway. Did uncheck the options to make SweetIM my default whatever. Tested the maps and nothing. Then explored grease monkey addon and saw there were some steps needed to activate script. So for us non-grease monkey users this is not 1,2,3 and your all set. So if you are going to post help info. make it complete. Grease monkey with SweetIM script will not be an upgraded/patch/fix for me if I can't run it.
  5. I love my 60CSx. Even though I have bought newer Garmin models like the 62, I still use the 60. I have event written my own software, (that I give away for free) which is like but only better than "Access Field Notes" which is provided at GC.com for newer GPS units. With my EGL software all you do when you get back from a day or week of caching is plug in the GPS, start up your browser and read your finds and DNF right from the GPS into the browser. The software gives you a listing of your finds and DNF in the order in which you found them. It time stamps each find for you. It tells you how long you spent searching for the cache. It gives you the find # out of how many finds for that day. You get all this in a pre-formatted text that you can copy-n-paste right into the online log. Here's the best part you get two links one takes you right to the cache page the other takes you right to the logging page. No more logging on the wrong cache because you typed in the wrong gc code. No double logging the browser page shows which caches have been logged and which still need to be logged. In addition to this there is a bunch of other tools and stuff you can do to customize your logs. If you create a field note on the GPS like "Dropped coin", it get uploaded with your data. It uses 4 different icons to either mark your finds or DNFs. You can also mark a find on a cache that needs maintenance, when you upload your data you get a reminder notice you can either edit or just cut and paste right into your log notes that the owner needs to maintain his cache. You can create two standard notes that can be added to the other pre-formed note I described above. Say for example you were out caching with a group and you wanted to enter "Caching with so and so today.....", you type that message once and it gets added to each of your finds. You can create a second note and add it to all your DNFs. And if you want to see where you went and where the caches were located, there is a google map imbedded into it. With that you can display your track and all your finds and DNFs along the route.
  6. It was the Compact Framework 2.0. Once I installed it everything is fine. Thanks for the help. Now for some reason I cannot get it to see my SD card. So I will work on that now. But at least I can start playing Wherigo.
  7. I will try moving the cartridge to the memory card. I did not install the Microsoft.net Compact Framework 2.0... So I assume that goes on the pocket PC? Because I started to do that and it appeard that it was going to install on my desktop computer.
  8. I have a Pocket PC hp iPAQ h2200. I do not see this on your list of verified equipment. I am just getting started with the Wherigo. I have installed the latest version today. I have holux GPS attahed, which I find will work with the cachemate software on the unit. I have tried starting the program with both the "primative compass" and the "where_I_go_tutorial". Each time the load icon briefly appears and then quickly goes away. Do I have the right equipment? I do have 64MB of ram
