    Some Geocachers Don't Belong Here.

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    I've read stories about how geocaching invites people to explore places they really shouldn't be without experience

     

    About people who go out for long hikesgeocaching without supplies or proper attire to sustain them should bad weather pop up.

     

    There is an award for that kind of action,its called the Darwin award... Nature will take careof the stupid ones

    Autorouting Question

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    Garmin's new autorouting GPS units (including the Legend C) will not route correctly with MetroGuide. They won't even work like it did with the Legend (you'll only get the start and end points, and any intermediate points you added manually, not street-level routing). To get the Legend C to do routing, you need CitySelect.

     

    If you have CS, you can compute and recalculate street-level routes on the fly on the GPS without needing the computer. You can then configure it to recalculate when off-route (either automatically, or prompted).

    You are Wrong,I have a 60C,and metroguide. It will autoroute, and if I miss a point it will recalcuate the route autmaticallyfrom where I am

    With a place called "Licking County", it's easy to imagine the possibilitly of some wierd rules.

     

    Licking County actually has some wonderful parks. It's a real shame the land managers took things to the extreme.

     

    But in that they aren't alone. Here's the law regarding knives in New South Wales. Check too the link for what consitutes a 'knife' under their laws.

    But I dont live in new south whales and I really dont care what there laws are,they dont not affect me in any way

    ... In any case, I don't object to pocket knives and I don't feel a responsibility to report caches that violate that rule.  ...

    As an end user, it is not our right to decide to blatently ignore the guidelines. The cache in question clearly violates them and should be archived.

    That is the bigest line of bull**** I have ever heard.Lets penalize the cache owner , besides as you said [i]guidelines[/i]are just that guide lines

    I really get up tight when land managers or park managers begin to think that they own the park or land,they forget that they are public lands owned by the public and that they work for us the people

    But taking the attitude 'You work for me, park boy!!' is not likely to gain you sympathetic ear when it comes time to discuss geocaching in local recreation areas.

     

    Ignoring park rules, calling managers morons, and similar actions are not going to endear us to the people with the power to shut down our fun. I still have a pocket knife in my box of geocaching goodies, but it's not going into any containers any time soon. We need to work with these folks, not butt heads with them. Given the choice between geocaching without knives and no geocaching at all, the decision is obvious.

    Understand I wouldnt go as far as that(even if I did think so) I will adhere to the rules as long as they ar reasonable.Not allowing caches but allowing fishermen to litter and tear up the park,go off trail,and leave all kind of litter behind does not make sense. Rember is is somtimes better to ask forgivness than permission

    I am against knives in caches for two very simple reasons, many people cache with their children, and it's against the rules.

    If people cache with their children why would it be dangerous? agreed it is against the rules but with a adult there the only question is have you no control over your kids? I have carried a pocket knife since I was about seven,was taught how to use it correctly,and and do not consider it a weapon,it is a tool,much like a hammer or screwdriver.If you take an item trade even or up!

    [PS: Let's not forget that EVERYONE contributes by supporting sponsors, placing caches, logging their visits, maintaining caches they visit, etc. Premium membership is simply another manner. (Hmm, ::thinks to himself::, perhaps those are the folks who trade down! Haha! LOL!!!)

    placing a cache or logging vists,etc dosent pay the bills and cost to run and program servers,or com lines which all are costly. Its just that some of us are willing to pay to support the site and some are not .
