    Travel bug

    I have just picked up one of my own TB's and now want to edit the profile page but I'm sure the option to edit has gone.

    It now only gives me the option to either recalculate the distance, Mark it as missing or move it to it's last location so how do I edit it's profle now.

    Can anyone help?

    Free Kernow Kachers Pin

    I had a batch of Brass pin on badges made up for our recent picnic event. I have a number of these available and I'd be happy to send one to any Cornish Born or based cacher, who didn't attend yesterdays event.

     

    I'll ask you to send a small self addressed stamped envelope.

    The thread mentioned above makes very interesting reading. But to save you a bit of time and possibly getting in a muddle download Lordelphs Icons from the first post, look in there for the "readme.txt" file. That should put you on the right road.

    OK done all that but all I can still see are the little blue dots on the map, not the new icons which I have added so any suggestions please. I'm sure the answer is a simple one (he says hopefully :laughing: )

    Memory Map

    Hi gang

     

    I have just purchased a copy of memory map 5 and am very impressed with it so far, but I was wondering if it’s possible to import the different icons that represent the various cache types.

    I have tried importing the waypoints for all caches available in the UK and I think that importing the data as loc files seems to be the best but all caches are shown with the same icon.

    I tend to take my computer with me a lot when I go away and do not always have internet access but being able to open up memory map and display most (if not all caches) would be a good way to get around this problem.

    But being able to know if a cache is a regular, multi, event, etc would be great to see just by looking at the screen so do any of you clever people out there know if it’s possible?

    I know that there is an option to import icons as bitmaps but if I did this would it update the icons automatically or would it meant that all 19,000+ uk caches listed at present would have to be done manually?

     

    Thanking all who reply in advance….

    Hi Gang

     

    I'm about to head off on holiday to Cornwall and have been looking at a few caches to do along the way.

    The problem is the caches are covering a distance of about 250 miles.

    I have added the ones I'm looking at to my watchlist so can anyone tell me if I can download the waypoints from the watchlist.

    If not do you have any suggestions please? I don't really want to do them one at a time I would prefer to do them all in one go.

     

    Cheers

    Should we keep our hobby as secret as possible, only telling people that we already know and trust, or is it safe to publicise Geocaching in major publications? :blink:

    If it were not for an article on TV I would never have got to know about geocaching but I can also see your point, Too much publicity is not always a good thing.
