  1. Why can I now not view cache pages when I use Lynx as my browser? Travel Bug pages are OK, but I get a 'Location URL is not absolute' when I try and get a 'Nearest Cache' page. I am sure I used to be able to use Lynx...

  2. As it was my idea, I should say that I am keen. Need to set a date so Bernadette can arrange time off work if required (she works 2 weekends out of the month)

    I have sent a email to "The Mechanic" to see how much space there is at the summit, but I have not heard back from him... will keep you posted.

    Cheers

    Nick.

    Cool - hopefully GC.com will be able to sort the problem at some stage, but a good workaround until then icon_smile.gif

  7. Phone or fire off an email to SI Components - just because it is not listed does not mean that they can't get it - went out of their way to track down a supplier for Sun 13W3 monitor connectors for me for a project I was working on (except I did not need 500 (minimum order)) - great guys to deal with, I highly recommend them.

  9. I usually talk to South Island Components for things like that (because they are local, and have lots of connections (bad pun icon_biggrin.gif))

    Have you tried Farnell or RadioSpares... I have had a quick look through the Farnell catalog, but I don't see exactly what you are looking for icon_frown.gif - unfortunately I don't have a Radio Spares catalog (they don't give theirs out quite so freely icon_wink.gif

    I really like my 76S


    Yes, the 76S is very nice, built I much prefer the price of the Meridian Platinum ($253USD vrs $449USD) for very similar features (except option for external antenna)

    Cheers

  13. I have some more information from Warren at ENL:

    1) The maps will be available on both SD card and CD (the SD card will be writable so you can store WP/Tracks as well)

    2) There will be maps for both sea (for boats - available end of year) and land (streets and topos - still in development 6-8 months away icon_frown.gif)

    3) Price has not been yet been fixed

    Cheers

    Nick.

  15. I really hope you do get this project 'on the shelf' as it sounds like it would be the greatest thing to happen to geocaching since the removal of SA (and a wake up call for the other GPSr manufacturers as to what users want in a GPSr)

    Of course being a New Zealander I would love to see it being built here (but sorry, I am not in the GPS industry here, but we do have a couple of cachers who work for one of the manufacturers (though probably not the one you were going to use, if you were going to use an existing GPSr maker))

    Cheers
