Isn't their answer above enough? And what IS the official UN name for the country in question (in your opinion)? I guess you ignored my earlier post because it was not what you wanted to hear! Well, after a research at www.un.org the name of the country in question is "Macedonia, The FYR of" I do not see this at the country list of gc.com but half of it...

We have thought of a local geocaching community in the past, but believe me, that would ruin gc.com in all the ways at the Greek territory... It is curious that we do not hear anything official from the authorities of gc.com ! ! !

After all, me and my fellow local geocachers, as an act of protest may want to temporarily dissable all our own geocaches for some time (maybe for the whole Summer period?) Maybe by this way all the geocaching visitors of Greece will be informed for the problem that there is at the country list of gc.com What would you think if you went to a country that THE MAJORITY of the 375 or so caches would be unavailable for logs and Found?

Actually, Alexander the Great united the divided city-nations of the territory of Greece to a great empire and took its borders until India...not a simple thing... Is it the Americans here and then the rest of the world or a community of people of all over the world that share the same passion for a hobby using multi billion american military technology? I am talking to that community, to see the difference that this site faces the problem.One day they erase Macedonia and after some days they bring it back...is this serious?

My friend, I think your nation has not suffered from any neighbours that are hungry for your precious land... My nation has enough memories of suffer from neighbours... And yes, Santorini, Mykonos and Paros are very far from the northern borders for you to worry. I will tell you when to worry...

My friend, the problem begins while we have named the northern parts of Greece as Macedonia and this is since the time of Alexander the Great!!! So, when someone else uses this ancient name of country region of yours as his country name don't you feel offended?

No, it does not please me, Alexander the Great was speaking ancient Greek and taught the whole of the then known world the Greek language and civilization, we have not any clues that he was Yugoslavian...Pure Greek was the hero ! Visit Alexandria in Egypt and even the India and there are many reagions that know about Greece, not Yugoslavia... Stealing history is a really bad thing...

I live in Athens, Greece and lately here in geocaching.com I see some odd and strange things. There is a country at the northern borders of Greece that the United Nations have given it the name F.Y.R.O.M. (Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia), this site intents to name it simply as Macedonia. Some fellow local geocachers felt offended (including me) and after compains the site changed the name to FYROM for some days...but now the people who control the site returned to the name that offends me when they simply give it to another country than mine. Is there any particular reason not to use the United Nations naming for this country? I wait for some reasonable and responsible answer from the ones who control the country list here in geocaching.

Hello Frauke ! I have the Garmin Foretrex 201 GPS which is small and the user can wear it at the wrist. You can have it for 100 euros or 67 UKP. It is in very good condition and I have all the accessories that came in the box. It was my first GPS unit but soon I left in on a drawer because I bought the more expensive Garmin 60CS. The Foretrex 201 has not a build in map and you can see all its details at the Garmin web page. Please contact me if you are interested. Regards, Ioannis Giannopoulos YanniG
