This is caused by the combination of a delete link too near the edit link and no confirmation prompt.
And here I thought it was caused by you pushing the wrong button.

That's better.
Now, if I lose a little weight, will you call me a normally sized Dane?

Nope. This function has been shut off for a couple of months now. Below the map, this message is posted:
"Please note: Due to the high traffic the web site has been getting lately, we have had to disable listing caches you have found. We're working on a better mapping solution which should be available by the end of February. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Well, february has come and gone...
Jeremy says it will work again with the new site design. Time frame: April-May ...

Originally posted by CyberJunkie:WOW... that should be a LOT of caches
It depends on the cache density and the time between caches.
The 50 hours for one week was in London while caching on foot (and the occasional underground trip). The problem with caching in London is that there are so many pubs that you have to visit while you are caching ...

How much time do you spend on geocaching per week ?Anywhere between a couple of hours on geocaching.com and .dk and 50 hours caching.
It all depends ...

Originally posted by jasy:As you probably know we are an outdoor people and hence the many caches are a bit demanding. I don't understand why you have to question this
At least the caches I have visited in DK have resulted in at least a short walk
Keep in mind that it is much easier to find a place that requires a long walk in Sweden than it is in Denmark. Even in the southern parts like Skåne. Arktis: Do yourself a favor and take a saturday out of the calendar for some of the caches in Skåne with a high terrain rating.

Originally posted by EnderBoy:Since i live in Karlskoga, the Bofors town, perhaps I should pop down to the factory and ask if I can have some...
Sounds like a plan
Each container is actually two separate plastic containers. They can be split into two with a saw.

Originally posted by Anders:The ammo boxes I came in contact with contained 9 mm parabellum for the Husqvarna 45B submachine gun. They are definitely not suited for caches.
The other box I handled was a 12 ton truck, which isn't suited any better...
That would be one cool cache
It seems the Swedish armed forces uses the American Browning .50 cal machine gun. The Swedes call it "Tung kulspruta 12.7mm". The ammo boxes for this weapon are the one youo want. Now all you have to do, is find some army people to get them for you.

The Russians had the same problem, of course, but they didn't have the fund to invent a ball point pen that worked in outer space. Their solution: A pencil. Go figure.... but speaking as a person who writes in the outdoors: A pencil written note in a damp pocket isn't as legible as a pen written one after a few hours.
Space pens rule!

Originally posted by Divine:I bet your basement conceals a bunch of other neat stuff too. I don't know, it just sounds like it.
Not really, but I can't say I have any complains about the price of the ammo boxes.
I am a reservist in the army and went to the nearest barracks and asked around who whas in charge of used ammo containers. Then I asked her politely if I could have some, and she agreed.
And for you Swedes: Think creatively. The container for 84mm propelled rocket grenades for Carl Gustav are water proof and you should be able to get them in Sweden (since it is a Bofors weapon).

Originally posted by Captain_Morgan&Family:Here in Finland we use mainly plastic boxes and i've never seen an ammo box here. Have any of you seen them used as a cache or used them in your own caches ? And if you have, where did you get those ammo boxes ?
Absolutely.
I have my basement stuffed with ammo boxes, and my only (so far) cache is a standard .50 cal ammo box.

I can't seem to find the new version?

Originally posted by Quetzalteco:I use GPXView for GPX files on the PDA and GPXWatcher on the PC to organized them.
For mapping software, I use MS MapPoint with Pocket Streets on the PDA. There are other mapping software available, I just haven't tried it out yet.
Ditto on the software plus I use my own script for converting .loc and .gpx to Mappoint compatible cvs-files.
I use an Ipaq 3660 on the hardware side.

Tässä mielenkiintoinen esine kätköihin:
Ovat hieman samantapaisia kuin Travel Bug'it,
mutta sopivat myös mikrokätköihin. Ja kuten bugeja, niin näitä kolikoitakin voi seurata netissä.
Pitäisköhän tilata muutama... ?

Hmm... Tried ROT-13. Didn't work.
I must be doing something wrong.

Originally posted by ClayJar:PalmDoc is close to the top of the TODO list, and HTML export might be right near that. The maps will have to be handled by some other program, but the GPSBabel plugin should make it easy to export to whatever you'd like.
I'll start working on the export stuff once 0.1.31 is out, but until then, I don't want to start making major changes to the code (since I really want to release something quickly).
Perhaps a button to change icons based on type and size (like Spinner) for version 1.32?

Anyway, I would love to use GPX & dump Mobi but I have one or two simple questions....
1.What the hell is GPX?
& 2. How do I use it????
1) They like LOC-files, but better. They have much more information in them. Even the last five logs. You can change your existing pocket queries to GPX.
2) Which PDA? If you have a Windows based PDA you can simply use GpxView. Install it and transfer the GPX files to the PDA.
If you have a PalmOS based PDA, someone else will help.

Clickable, zoomable maps?
Wow!
I must say that ClayJay has been spending the waiting time wisely.
I agree that if Watcher could do what Spinner and GPSBabel can, and if it could upload directly to my GPS, it would be my only GPX program.
