[New Palm Software]

Hmmm...now this sounds like it might be useful....

 

I've had to make an extra trip or two back to a possible new cache spot while planning out my caches, because I forgot to write down some important info, or just plain lost the piece of paper...

 

Hmmm....something useful to have it do would be to average coords from several readings for you, while you are right there planning out the new cache...

Does waypoint averaging now. New button next to the Longitude data entry: "Multi" lets you enter as many associated waypoints as desired. Clicking apply on the associated window applies the average of those waypoints to the main coordinates.

 

You can also save the associated waypoints without applying them the the main coordinates.

I've posted a complete (IMO) user's manual with screen shots.

 

Users manual

 

Yet todo complete installation instructions, although this should be obvious, and a EULA.

As the page indicates its 'under construction' I plan on added more documentation this weekend, including screen captures.

 

Documenting new caches means capturing the data you would enter into the geocaching website while you are out in the field. It is much more than a formatted note pad extension.

 

By Sunday there will be screen shots.

I've just created and made available at crosman.org , a Palm app for documenting new caches. I call it 'Cache In'.

Its a free download. Let me know if you find it useful, and how to improve it.

 

There is also a free hint decoder on the same page.

Thanks a bunch. Sharpies it will be!

[Just Ordered My First Gps]

Just started also. Ordered my Sporttrak Color for xmas. Lucky me my wife and kids went out of town to her family for Xmas. I had to stay home and work. We opened our gifts last weekend.

 

So I'm already having fun with my GPS. It must suck to have to wait till Sat.

[Stupid Newby Question Number 9856]

Just purchased some of the green cache stickers for new geocaches. They appear to be plastic coated and I'm wondering what is the best implement for writing on them.

 

It appears as if ball point pen would rub off; same for felt tiip. Pencil seem likely to not be dark enough to read.

 

I don't want to ruin them so am asking first.

 

Thanks!
