most of the benchmarks that are used for marking property rights are off by a hundred feet or more (my experience). Considering that land is worth trillions of dollars in the US, I'd think they'd be more accurate.

I started mountain climbing when I was in high school, about once every five years I'll come across a pair in the act. On one mountain I climbed, the couple who was there before me logged in the register that they were the first to have sex on the summit. Gives another meaning to FTF For the numbers whores, here is a whole new set of numbers to collect

This is a low tech method, but probably takes no more time than running pq's thru several steps. Last night I found this fellow in a city I'll visit in a few months, he has 11 puzzles that are really great, plus an online verifier that is cool. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?u=BillP3rd From that page I just clicked on each of the 11 and after they showed on my tabbed window I looked at them, clicked the gpx exchange file button for each. Merged them with Watcher a gpx utility. You can solve his puzzles and verify the anwsers quick and easy online. His script tells you which questions you anwsered correctly and which not. You can quickly zero in on the source of any error. Handy cause some of his puzzles have 20 questions. Too bad he isn't writing the code for this site, then maybe we'd have a good way of finding caches along a highway instead of icons showing whether or not a public toilet is available or not. Does anyone here choose which caches to visit based on whether a public toilet is available?

Certainly you can. Not on the Navigation page, but you can on the Trip Computer page. Trying to make the numbers match seems to me to be an exercise in futility, but if that's the way you want to do it, you certainly can. Page 21 of my manual lists 32 different parameters I can display. Cache lat/lon is not on the list, and doesn't come up when I handle the gps. I have good spatial ability and it's easy for me. More interesting than staring at an arrow to follow its pointer.

I'm planning a trip to Seattle this summer so I looked at this one. Interesting, not hard, and his Puzzle verifier does work. Even better, if you make an arithmetic error you can enter the numbers you collected, and the script will tell which ones are correct or incorrect!!! So I rated the cache a 10, and found I was the first and only one to rate it! The link to http://www.mersenne.org/prime.htm is interesting and gives the answer. Even if you don't go to Seattle you can play with this one.

Don't think so, even as a virtual, because it's a temporary

Panning the geocaching map is one way to find caches along a hiway, but made more tedious because so many caches are micros which I have little interest in stopping for on a trip. A person can uncheck virtuals, multis and several other types of caches. How about making micros a type we can ignore?

Good idea, here's another example: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...f3-dbecbe7fed85

Please, there are several hundred thousand caches already. The majority are dogs. Let's try quality rather than quantity.

Yes, you can have the location (lat/lon), but you cannot also have the cache location (lat/lon) It's one or the other. Amazing, they offer 32 different options to choose from, but who uses Curent ETE, final ETE, max speed, of course, 3 different trip times, turn Velocity made good or Verticle speed????????????? I just want to know 1. Where am I? 2. Where is the cache lat/lon?

You know how to bookmark a page on the internet, right? Just bookmark their profile pages.

Click on the edit button, you can change anything. If the cache is not at the listed coords, it'd be an offset, aka Puzzle.

Try Terracaching.com, they go for Quality not quanity.

When I enter Final destination, it just gives the name, it doesn't give the coordinates. Same for current destination. Need the Numbers!

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. If you put them at a site with a nice view they'd be nice.

thanks

The most popular and most worthless is a little bottle by a busy highway. People who want to boost their number will stop for a quicky. One advantage of Terracaching.com Quality instead of quantity

For some good ones in the Reno area and traveling to it: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=93110 Also check my bookmark

There are several good caches in the Topaz lake area just north of the Ca border

There are at least 2 types of bar codes, code 39 is the easier one, do you know for sure which one you're working with?

USB instead of serial connection Show both the current location and cache location (the numbers) on the same page. More memory

It depends on the location, would anyone want to go there if the cache wasn't there? If no, then a cache certainly isn't reason to go 10' out of the way.

What I'd like to know is whether the snow has melted off the caches placed above 5500'. When can we head for the hills? Went to a cache a month ago and after a long walk I found snow the last 200' to the cache, no luck there.

Try it the other way, you might like it.

Magellan owner here.. and not possible with that brand either. It sounds like you are looking for the cache by matching up the coordinates. Obviously, that's a way to do it... but isn't it cumbersome? Even you say it is. I recommend (strongly) that you just use the GOTO function and follow the arrow to the cache. In all my cache finds, I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've looked at the coordinates (mine or the caches). Jamie Actually what I've been doing is writing the cache coords on a piece of paper & using the satelite page. Sometimes I follow the arrow, but that seems inelegant to me. I like to compare where I am with where I want to go, take a compass heading and estimate where the cache is. My idea of fun.
