Hi I have created a new account and would like to disable/cancel my old account both on the forum and GC.com Is this possible? Thanks

This is Guinness a 7 year old Border Collie Qualified Lowland Search Dog and Scrumpy a 3month old Collie Springer Cross (Will be a qualified Lowland Search Dog When he is older!)

I was hoping that someone might say that! Any other views?

I have changed my username from darylt to Berklshire SAR Dogs I have only found 16 or so Caches.... ...is it acceptable to relog these caches with a note about changing my username or ...hard cheese, go find em again or ...don't worry about it, after all its only 16!

I am looking to set a few caches in my area.... ...I have found the locations, and am writing the clues and additional information as we speak. I have taken a reading from 2 different GPS The weather was clear and accuracy was good... How many other readings to people take before publishing? I have seen that it is suggested to take an average of the readings - Is this purely the middle figure between each reading? Any other suggestions are welcomed!!

I must say that I am very disappointed by many of the comments in this topic. I would like to think that these cases are issolated incidents. It appears that Nick has done everything correctly, and quite rightly the dogs should be reported and dealt with appropriately. Personally I feel that should a dog bite a person the owner should be put down, this is mainly because if a dog bites it tends to be poor controll or lack of training. However should the dog be threatened or provoked the provokee should be put down! I have to keep deleting my text from here on as I am finding it difficult to say something without possibly offending some of the dog detesters on here. Please remember that there are a lot of good dogs out there with very responsible dog owners, we only tend to hear the worst from the "sick bad news culture" that we now live in.

Someone in the GPS forum has been trying to help me with this with no luck Does anyone know of a UK supplier of a Serial to USB lead that definately works with Garmin GPS?

I'm sorry about that - I don't know what went wrong there. I've now made you a full member manually. --- Bill caching as Bill D (wwh) Chairman GAGB Thank You

I decided to start again, I re instsalled the lead to a new USB port, it is assigned COM 3, I downloaded GSAK, set up the GPS to the correct COM port etc. Now I get an error message - Can't init COM3

I tried registering with the forum a week ago, and still have not had an activation email! Tried emailing too!

Your avatar is crying out to be made into a Geocoin. Maybe you could get ones made out of wood which might be less expensive? Nigel. Do you know of anyone that does this other than geocoins.net ? I have sent them an email

Hmm, I have assigned it port 1.... On my desktop it got signed 17! On here I think it was originally 3 but as I have changed it I can't be sure

I have made sure that everything is set to COM 1 I have made sure that Activ Sync dosent have the COM Settings enabled, and if it does its set to COM 3 anyway. I have tried EasyGPS, GPSU and Garmin Web Updater. Still no luck!

I could definately be persuaded to come home for the day!!! It may even be my first event! Unless something local comes up between now and then

Tried matching the baud rate on both PCs, still No luck!!

Update I have managed to connect to my desktop PC using the serial lead only, I dont have a serial port on my laptop hence the nead for the Serial to USB lead. The device manager says that it is working correctly on the laptop Any ideas?

Hi Guys Thanks for the help getting the Garmin eTrex working better, now can anyone help me connect my new foretrex 101? I have started a topic in the main GPS forum Thanks in advance and sorry for the double post, but I would like to use it for Geocaching tomorrow!

I have just recieved a Garmin Foretrex 101, I have connected it to my PC using the Garmin lead and a Serial to USB Adapter. I have run the .exe file that came with the cable, I have tried to reinstall the driver from device manager, I have tried COM1 - COM5 I have trieds tried firmwear updates, but the Garmin software can not find the GPS I have tried GPS Utility, but the port times out. Can anyone help please?

I like that idea too!

Now that is cool!

I tried printing from Google Maps with no luck on the hybrid map, however the Microsoft Live site worked like a dream!

I saw one of these today, they do look very good!

Well you wouldn't want to keep them thats for sure!!

Thats what we did today, only used the Clue if we had trouble finding the Cache, or if people writing logs says it is difficult to find!

Is it possible to change my username? I would like to change it so it includes my Wife and Dog, I am a premium member and therfore don't want to re register, I also dont want my Stats going back to 0 although I only have afew!
