that's it.......track mode thx

cachemate and GSAK are the way to go

I think I know how to do area calculation on my eTrex Legend, but I cannot find the feature on my Garmin 60C. Any help or suggestions where to look?

he has 6 in his possession now and has had one of them 6 weeks I sent him a link to this thread

I don't have any problems with my 60C and GSAK, but if I tried to send data by the serial cord to my eTrex legend I get the same error. If I close the hotsync icon (from my Palm software) on bottom right of my toolbar of my computer that shows what is running, it works fine. For some reason they conflict for me, I don't know why but maybe it is because they are both serial port connections.

I can understand someone finding a jeep TB that does not cache very often and possibly holding it up to a month. But there is a one person who seems to just search Jeep TBs around hmy area. He is a new member that found geocaching from the Jeep website. He has 38 finds and has grabbed 8 Jeep TBs. In a few of his logs he even mentioned that he was looking for the jeep TB and it was already taken. Currently he has 6 Jeep TBs in his possession and has held one of them since 8-11.

I have noticed lately in my area (DFW, TX) that there are very few white Jeep TBs coming up in caches. Now I realize that a lot of cachers in our area search or track white Jeep TBs in order to go get them, so when one is placed in a cache and logged it does not stay very long. But I have noticed that one person in particular has been grabbing Jeep TBs and holding numerous ones (up to 6 at a time) and holding them up to 5 weeks before placing them in another cache. This prevents others from entering the contest. The whole contest is to grab a Jeep TB, enter the program and pass it along so someone else can enter. The contest is not to see who can collect the most. It even says on the Jeep TB page - Current GOAL: Log your visit, and move me to a new geocache! I have sent this person a message twice stating that they have held certain Jeep TBs for over a month. I did not get reply either time, but they did place the Jeep TB in a cache shortly after that. So I knew they got my message.

thanks....

I am looking to find a cache where you find your local water tower and take a picture of it with a GPSr and I think it was a locationless cache. Well, I an almost certain I saw it the other day, but I can't find it now....any ideas where it is? thanks, BD14

thanks......I am using a 60C most of the time now

when you say you cannot view the topo and street info at the same time does that mean for all the maps or just blocks sharing both info (topo and streets) also if you have areas that have both topo and streets uploaded can you switch back and forth? and if so, how? I have heard that the most detailed map will be shown for an area

didn't know GSAK will unzip when you drop it in, I will have to try that.

in GSAK when you click on send waypoints, you can change the icons on the LH side

thanks............I have GSAK I am not running XP.....but I am about to get a new machine

I have been using winzip. I remember when it used to be free. well, it is starting to give me a nag screen when I use the evaluation version. I need a free unzip tool to unzip my pocket queries. what do you suggest?

I send the waypoints to my GPSr from GSAK with a 10 character smart name (Garmin 60C).....then I look them up on my palm by waypoint name since I don't have them in my GPSr in waypoint code....once found I log found and it sends them to my found folder on my palm....then when I get home, I convert the waypoints from the waypoint name to the waypoint code GCXXX then I log them on gc.com

is there a way in cachemate that I can delete the " from the start of files so all files will be listed alphabetically? the ones that start with " are always listed first

yup, down button allowed me to view more of them....thanks

thanks, got my registration number earlier today I can't wait for the next version if you are able to remove the ", it will make it a lot easier to find them in cachemate one more ?, when I download points into my GPSr and palm, when I view log, there is only one 1 log per cache on my palm, is there a place where I can designate it to load more than one?

I just paid by paypal to register GSAK, how long does it take to get a serial number by email?

thanks....

How do you filter out caches that are disabled or archived with GSAK so that they do not get loaded into my GPSr and Cachemate from GSAK?

GSAK and Catchemate

I've had a Garmin 12, then an eTrex Legend, and now a 60C
