  1. For use with my Garmin GPSmap 60CSx (I use custom symbols to indicate the cache type): Waypoint name = "%smart %children %smart%c_Prefix" (with smart name length set to 12) This cuts the maximum waypoint smart name to 12 characters and tacks on the 2 character "prefix" for additional (child) waypoints. I like to be able to match the child waypoint name to the cache listing using the 2 character designation. Waypoint description = "%drop2 %con1%dif1%ter1%bug=+-%last4 %ownerName" The cache's code (minus the useless GC) helps when posting the log and when geocaching with someone who has a GPSr that only supports short waypoint names. (To convert the one digit terrain/difficulty number, which gives you a number from 1 to 9, just add 1 to digit and divide by 2, thus 6 yields 7/2= 3.5) A cache with travel bugs has a '+' character, otherwise it has a '-' character. That is followed by four characters that represent the last four logs. Lastly, the cache owner name is listed. It often helps to know who hide the cache as different cachers have different styles (e.g. infiniteMPG who posted above ).

  3. If you use GSAK, try the macro "myGMEv02f.txt " which can be found in the GSAK Forums Macro Library under Imports & Exports. It will handle hundreds of caches (using large markers if needed to show cache clusters). Just filter out your found caches, and any others you don't want to display, before running the macro. It makes use of Google Maps (and USGS aerial/topographic maps as well) to display the caches selected in GSAK on a map in your web browser. You can zoom in/out, pan, and show information about each cache when you click on it. It's very well done.
  4. I have a Verizon email account and I'm having the same problem, notifications also.
  5. Yup, it's happening to me as well. Seems to have broken on 8/24/06, afternoon I think.
  6. I see the problem also. I run a weekly update query to update my GSAK database. The latest "Last Found" date that GSAK reports is July 13th and does not list my four July 15th finds. When I examine the GPX file with a text editor, the July 15th finds are missing, so it looks like GSAK is telling the truth and is not the problem. Browsing the generated PQ online shows the correct result and does NOT match the GPX file that was delivered via email. I think the wrong file was sent.
