You could be right. I don't doubt the OP found a cassette. Not much unlike how some cache owners controversially log finds on their own caches. The evidence is there that mtension, if that is his real name, is working for a marketing company that specializes in viral campaigns. Does it really matter what the puppet looks like when we know who the puppet master is?

Yep, tastes like SPAM to me. I wish Michael mtension well with his viral ad campaign. Mr. Tension He has a rough road ahead if this going to successful for One Net Marketing him. While geocaching is considered by some to be hipster (or apparently the more hipper, hispter) most all geocachers won't consider themselves hipsters. Strike one. Not being "real" hispters, I'm willing to bet not many geocachers own a cassette player. Strike two. I can't believe that some mentioned QR codes and this topic wasn't immediately assaulted by calls for the death of munzees or people lamenting the fact that they don't own a smartphone. Strike three?

Do you need a GPS to find it? If not then it isn't Geocaching related. Oh, I see what you are saying. If we were to retrieve these Hispter Bait cassette tape from the couch cushions of the pubs that they are in and place them IN geocaches then it would be on topic. Interesting... I suppose to make them really hispter we would have to place them in really out of the way caches after a nice couple mile hike. Ya know, the ones that get very few visitors. Cuz that's really hispter in the Geocaching world. I've never placed or seen a cassette tape in a geocache. I wonder how they would hold up to the elements.

After records, before MP3 .MOD FTFY.

Maybe we could suggest that Groundspeak institute some kind of wow factor when it comes to placing caches. Whoa! Thanks for the flashback to 2004.

There are more factors to accuracy than just your GPS. To name a few there is the accuracy of cache owners GPS when the cache was placed. The geometry of the GPS constellation when the cache was placed verses when you are looking for the cache. Even the current geomagnetic state of the atmosphere will have an effect on accuracy. For a recreational GPS the consensus is 30 foot accuracy is average.

I know what you mean. Sometimes my translations end up reading like this. Click and translation of Bing right, I translated the log. It is a clumsy results, but it is fast.

It kinda does. The metric system is based on groupings of 10 but all system based on groupings of 10 are metric. It's not the same thing. You might just as well say that I see what I eat is the same thing as I eat what I see or that I like what I get is the same thing as I get what I like or that I breathe when I sleep is the same thing as I sleep when I breathe.

U.S. dollars use the goofy metric system. Ziiinnnngggg Metric does not mean base 10. And here I was trying to convert penny's to milliliters and millimeters... I just wish people would just go back to cubits... Let's not forget about the rarely used metric foot. My, not so thorough, research has discovered it only being used once. That was to build the BBC Television Centre in London. There is the possibly that Subway used it measure it's foot long subs outside the of the USA. One metric foot being equal to 30 centimeters or almost half of a centimeter shorter than an imperial foot. Subway has never confirmed this but it would account for their foot long subs being slightly shorter outside of the USA. Conversions can be tricky that's why I just let the computer (or GPS) do it for me.

While not really wanting to get the " electronic compass debate " started at least let me say it depends a lot on where you'll be caching. We cache in many areas where it is hard to walk at all much less 3 miles/hr...briars, brambles, and bushes make for VERY slow going and out west if you're climbing in rocks also it is great to have your pointer always aiming at the cache no matter what. If you've ever cached for awhile with a unit with a GOOD 3-axis "pointer" ( Magellan Platinum, 62S, Oregon 450 ) you would never want to be without one. I vastly preferred the 60 CSx with somewhat quirky 2-axis compass to units that had none. My home area is mountainous and has lots of yummy and pointy blackberry bushes lining many of the trails. Of the GPSes you mentioned I've used all of them and I currently own one of those. I don't feel like I could never be without my Oregon 450. In fact my current preference is for a lower end model without an electronic compass. Having an electronic compass does make reading the map easier when set to course up but it is very far from a show stopper. It's all about how you set up the GPS. North Up and make the pointer icon, no matter what direction it points, gets closer to the cache icon. In fact I've used the north up and make the pointer icon and cache icon touch method the few times that my compass calibration continuously failed or I was under power lines and the electronic compass was acting up.

Human flatulence contains methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas. Maybe we should all just stay at home. You don't fart at home? You're right. There is only one solution...

I just tried pressing MENU+UP+POWER on my eXp GC and guess what. It didn't work. A played around a bit and discovered something. If you are using version 2.15 of the firmware they changed the procedure a bit. You now have to push the joystick to the left. Give MENU+LEFT+POWER a try. The other steps should be the same.

I'm very hopeful that Washington state's new law legalizing recreational marijuana will open up more areas to geocaching. There is a hill near me that has seen a couple of geocaches over the years but they usually get archived after a couple of months due to the nearby illegal grow operations often mentioned in the logs. I'll be so happy if the State is successful in putting the illegal growers out of business.

I don't see why an electronic compass is necessary. If the arrow is spinning around then you are close enough to see the cache or at least see the location that it is hiding. Make sure that you have the map screen set to NORTH UP. Then ignore the direction that the arrow is pointing. Instead focus on distance of the arrow icon from the cache icon. Move so this distance decreases. Most models of GPS allow you display a DISTANCE TO CACHE or DISTANCE TO END or something similar on the map screen. That gauge is also very helpful in knowing where the cache is located.

亲爱的 cheech gang. 你好. I imagine that is because there isn't a Chinese language version of Geocaching.com. There is a long list of translations but Chinese isn't one. I bet there would far more Chinese geocachers and far more caches and logs written in Chinese if Chinese was one of the languages that could be selected. As it stands now if you are Chinese and want to use this website would have to already know one of the languages that it is translated in to.'祝你 身体健康. I was not aware of that. I see they have Korean and Japanese translations but not Chinese. I havent yet looked at 20 random caches in those countries... I just took a look at couple random Japanese caches and all of them have descriptions in English with about half having Japanese translations. For the logs it appears to be about 25% in English only, 25% in Japanese only and about 50% in both English and Japanese. The interesting thing about the logs that are in both English and Japanese is that the English portion is simply a TFTC or simular, the Japanese part is a more detailed log. As for Korean. Sadly I wasn't able to locate a North Korean cache. Jeremy needs to visit Kim Jong-un and introduce him to Geocaching. In South Korea I found that, unlike the Japanese caches where they were in two languages, Korean caches and logs are either in Korean or English. I only saw one cache description that was in both Korean and English and I saw no cache logs that were in both languages. I'd estimate the number of cache descriptions that where in Korean to be about 60% with the rest in English. As for the cache logs, a lot more where in English than Korean. I'd estimate that 40% of the cache logs that saw were in Korean with the rest being in English.

それはどういうことですか？あなたは、このアイデアを好きではありません。私はすべてのこれらの異なる言語が混乱していると思います。

A pen is my #2 tool for geocaching, right after my GPS. While a pen is a given for micros and numerous incorrectly sized smalls I've needed a pen for all sizes of caches. Even caches where the owner included a pen but it's been damaged or removed. While a BYOP attribute is a good idea I think it's a better idea just to err on the side of caution and always BYOP.

I see that these will the first caches that you've ever placed. A benefit to setting your caches to premium member only (PMO) is to get get feedback from experienced geocaches and to see how the area will hold up to visitors before opening the caches up to everyone. You can easily change the cache to and from PMO status at any time. So if you select PMO to begin with you can deselect PMO by simply editing the cache page opening it up for everyone.

What do you mean by no joy as yet? Have you been able to get it in to service menu? If you were able to get to the service menu what did you do to attempt to fix it? Are you following all of these step in this order? 1. Pull the batteries and replace with fresh ones. (If you are sure that you are using new batteries. Remove them, count to 10, then replace them). 2. Connect the usb cable between the GPS and your computer (with the explorist off). 3. Hold menu+up+power and the unit will start up in disk access mode (keep them all pressed in until you get a menu on the screen). If you are having trouble with step 3 one trick is to press menu and up buttons first. Then once you are sure you have both of them pressed, press and hold the power button while continuing to hold the other two buttons. Remember not to let go until after the menu screen appears. 4. Once it starts up, browse the device in the windows explorer (or mac equivalent). 5. Go into Geocaches folder and move all the files in there to your pc (make a folder in your my documents to store them). Double check to make sure that there are no files in the Geocaches folder on the GPS. 6. Go into the Waypoints folder and move all these file as well (keep them separate from the geocache files from above). Double check to make sure that there are no files in the Waypoints folder on the GPS. 7. Eject (safely remove, etc) the GPS and pull the usb plug. The unit will reboot normally.

I'm confused. Are you asking for help fixing the eXplorist GC or not?
