i was searching for answers and i guess the only option is to buy the dog tag trackables
i have some really nice challenge coins that i just wish Groundspeak would sell individual tracking numbers that can be used for things like these

I found a cache last week that needed maintenance because the log was gone.
I found the container/object which should have had a log under it, but was deteriorated too badly and the log was not under it.
I logged it as a find since i DID find the geocache container, and also noted it as needing maintenance.
Had there been no container, i would have put it as a Didn't Find, however, finding the geocache container = FOUND

Don't let some drunken idiot stop you from geocaching.
It could have easily happened by going to walmart, and some drunken idiot attacks you in the parking lot.
Things can happen anywhere at any time. It's just the random nature of some bad people in this world.
i really hope your family doesn't curl up into a ball and stay locked indoors.

Unfortunately, there is a huge % of TB's that come to this fate
That is just something you have to accept when you send TB's out into the world
if you have the 2nd tag (since they normally come in a pair) you can send that one out.

I'm gong to the event in Santa Cruz, CA !
GC256HQ

to manually input a waypoint, hit the magnifying glass button on the bottom right.
then scroll up to the coordinates, hit enter to edit them, change the coordinate numbers, then hit enter, scroll down to save, and navigate to it

I finally found the California event lists here too http://www.geocaching.com/local/default.aspx?state_id=5

hello.
Can you add in your first post the link to the bookmark with the list of all the event locations?
the closest one to me is santa cruz, and i sent a message to the person but they didn't reply to me at all with the information.
i don't know where to look to find other locations in my area
-
yes! mine worked too!
thanks again Pax42 for that info.
now i can head to san fran with the geocaches loaded properly
-
Thanks for posting that Subyjeff. I was about to do it myself. Please let us know if this solves the problem for you as well.
thanks.
already set my PQ to run, just waiting for the servers to run it.
-
Actually, I did try it, and when I try to sync from CR, I still get waypoints only
you have to re-run the pocket query after making the changes from 1.01 back to 1.0
-
I am pretty computer simple, so CR was great for me. I really don't want to do the GSAK thing. Any suggestions
he posted the suggestion, i think that you just missed it
"Changing the preference back and forth a few times (saving the change each time) and then finally leaving it saved to 1.0 has solved the problem for some folks."
i posted the detailed step by step above from the link he gave us

http://forum.delorme.com/viewtopic.php?f=1...30&start=30
from the thread
1- go to geocaching.com and click on YOUR PROFILE, or click here http://www.geocaching.com/account/default.aspx2- then click on Your Account Details http://www.geocaching.com/account/default.aspx
3- scroll to the bottom of that page to Your Preferences
4- if it is set to 1.0.1, skip to step 10
5- click on change, or click this to go right there http://www.geocaching.com/account/ManagePreferences.aspx
6- find GPX Version Preference and change it to 1.0.1
7- click on Save Changes
8- click on change again
9- if the GPX Version Preference setting now says 1.0, go back to step 6 (yes really)
10- find GPX Version Preference and change it to 1.0
11- click on Save Changes
12- re-run the PQs that have the version problem, the new PQs should be OK
-
For those having this problem, read through this THREAD., particularly Robert Shelly's post at the top of the third page.
It seems that tinkering on the site has caused an issue with the GPX format preferences on many of our accounts. Even though your GPX format preference may show 1.0, the site is still sending you 1.0.1 which is causing the problem with CR. Changing the preference back and forth a few times (saving the change each time) and then finally leaving it saved to 1.0 has solved the problem for some folks.
thanks for the info.
hopefully my PQ runs in the next hour and works correctly so i can use it before i leave
-
but DeLorme's CacheRegister didn't transfer the information correctly, so I grabbed the files straight from my email and uploaded using Topo8. Again, it just uploaded as waypoints with no cache information associated.
Ideas?
I'm using GSAK load PQs my DeLorme PN40. It's working fine. Obviously this isn't a solution if you don't own GSAK, but I you might want to consider owning it.
some of us, like myself, already paid for a DeLorme plugin called Cache Register which is designed solely to load PQ's from geocaching.com and transfer them to our GPSr.
everything was working fine up until last night, and from all the other threads about the PQ's not running very well, it seems to be more of an issue now.
hopefully it'll be fixed later today.

i'm having this same problem too this morning with my earthmate and PQ's.
couldn't load the PQ through the cache register. had to load import it from the emailed file
the PQ i ran last night and this morning only load as waypoints, not geocaches
so i loaded a PQ from a couple weeks ago, and it loaded correctly as geocaches
i then updated that query and it loaded as waypoints
seems to be a problem this morning, and i really wanted to load this PQ for my caching adventure today in san francisco =/
coin to Geocoin
