  1. Windows 7 64 bit. Tried in IE and Firefox. I do not see any icons on the map. This is a new problem for me.
  2. I personally like to find Geocoins, TBs, and other trackables. This rules out micros and nanos and so I generally do not look for them. That being said, I am also looking to hit milestones (number of cahces found, difficulty levels, etc.) and this can be accomplished quicker by incorporating the micros and nanos. Proudcdn
  3. Ok this is all starting to make sense I have enabled the WAAS and it was already set to WGS 84. This might make a difference. Good to know I am "normal." Cheers, Proudcdn
  4. Hello All, I have a Garmin GPSMap 60Cx that I have owned for less than 6 months (it was brand new when I got it). How do I know if it is accurate or not? Is there a way to know for sure? And if it is not accurate is there a way to calibrate it? Here is why I ask ... 1) I set out a GC of my own and took an averaged reading of over 150 reads. The area was not terribly tree covered and the signal was strong. Most people that have gone to find this cache have told me that my coordinates are off. 2) I find that when I am caching that the area that my unit leads me to is often not where the cache is. It is out by 30ft or more. This is the case for about 80% of the caches I have visited. I figure one of three things is happening: 1) The satellite signal on the days I have been using the unit is not overly strong. 2) The people that originally placed their geocaches were using units with older technology and were perhaps not as accurate as my unit. 3) My unit is off. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Proudcdn.
  5. Awesome. Thanks guys !!!
  6. How do you post detailed stats, graphs, maps etc. into your profile like the following users have? http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=8b...1e-624a1502ba9f http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=bc...f2-7b2446d08578 Thanks in advance.
  7. What is the proper etiquette in regards to logging a visit in which you have taken a trackable? I have been to many caches that say there is a trackable present only to find that it isn't there and there is no indication in the logs that someone grabbed it. I suppose I could just be VERY unlucky in that someone has beat me to them by a mere day or so and they have just not logged it yet. Proudcdn
  8. Is there such a thing as a physical store that sells geocoins or are they only available online?
