Gill & Tony

I never use the app, so I'm guessing that the 50 point things I get are goats. I also log with GSAK, so it all happens at one time.

I found 22 caches, all traditionals, one with a lot of FP's. It took 14 before I got my first goat, then 2, then 3, then 2. I just squeaked home with 535 points.

The rest of your post proves that to be incorrect. You may not care about your own numbers but, for some reason, you do care about the OP's numbers. Why do you care why the OP wants to combine two accounts. Why do you care which finds he wants to combine? Frankly, it is none of your, or my, business why he wants to combine them. We can either help him to do the job he wants or we can ignore him. Telling him why he shouldn't do it is not constructive. The way you would do things or the way I would do things is irrelevant. Let's try and help him do things the way he wants them done.

Add step 2(a) Delete any caches found only by ex-girlfriend

I disagree with dprovan. High_Body found those caches and should be able to include them in his own account. If you use GSAK then it is fairly straightforward. 1. Create an empty database. 2. Run the MyFinds pocket query for the joint account and load the file into the empty database. 3. Use the Publish Logs feature of GSAK to add these caches to your personal account. I'm not sure how to keep the original log text for the new logs, but someone on the GSAK forum will help 4. Move these caches to your finds database. If you want to include DNFs or write notes from the joint a count it will take a bit longer, but is still possible

So, can I host a block party on my street in NSW and claim the icon? Why are block parties only in Seattle? Seems unfair to the rest of the world. /sarcasm

I just create a new POI file without those caches and overwrite the existing one. I move found caches from the appropriate unfound database to my found database. I automatically delete archived caches from the unfound databases when I Refresh them (using GetCachesByDatabaseName.gsk), so none of my unfound databases have any found or archived caches in them. When I create a new POI file, the old stuff is overwritten.

Go to the macro index and enter nuvi in the search box. It is there, but with lower case v3.

I don't believe there is a limit when sent as a .gpi file. I may be wrong, but the limit will be huge.

Yes. Or to be more accurate, almost always. I have noticed with the Drivesmart, as with my two previous Nuvi models, it sometimes fails to show icons when they are very densely clustered, as with a power trail. Normally, though, no problems

I use Nuvi_GPX_V3.gsk to send caches and Lab caches to my driveSmart65. The only issue is that I can't persuade the DriveSmart to appear as a drive, so I tell POILoader to send the gpi file to disk and then manually copy it to the DriveSmart. Like others have said, I ise the DriveSmart to navigate to a parking spot near the cache then use my hand-held (E-Trex 32x) to get to the actual cache.

Strange coincidence. That was the first cache that we found at the start of our trip. It was the second one where Gill fell.

They are the ones you are thinking of. Last time I posted a bunch of NM logs for the same reasons the CO fixed them up and enclosed each container in a zip-lock bag, which was a nice touch. I think of a power trail as being all the same container all hidden in the same way. These are a sort of pseudo power trail. High cache density, a few varieties of container and different hiding techniques. An even better pseudo power trail is the SST, South of Narooma. I've found 95 of them and the containers and hiding places are mostly themed to the cache name.

Yes. All of the NM logs will refer to wet and unusable logs. In a couple of cases a previous finder has put a replacement log in a baggie but didn't log NM. A couple of finds had dry logs in a wet container and I dried them as well as I could. I suspect that a couple of the DNFs were due to the container being washed away because the hint was very specific.

So, I have a database or list of multi caches in the area I'm heading to, let's say 50 multis. Option 1. Click on every one of them, read the listing and see whether it fits my needs. 2 seconds to click and open the listing, 30 seconds to read the listing and make a note, 2 seconds to close the listing. Times 50. That's half an hour Option 2. Add an attribute to the search and eliminate the ones I don't want. Maybe a minute. I know which I prefer.

OK, no probs

No, at least 3 different owners. I was hunting caches which had not been found for 6 months or more. Covid, and the recent rains, have helped increase the number of these. There were 22 in the area. I skipped a few, DNFed 9 and found 8, one last found in July last year. I expected a high DNF count, but finding more would have been nice.

To quote my post "There was no way that anyone would call the terrain wheelchair friendly. " I'm not sure of the point you are making. I never suggested that a cache there would be T1. I was just pointing out that some folk with mates in wheelchairs don't let rough terrain stop everyone from enjoying the area. I was pretty impressed when I saw it and thought others might be interested.

Day 1 of a one-week tour of the Southern NSW Silo Art Trail with our granddaughter. We stopped on the side of the road and climbed a grass embankment to look for a cache. Hidden in the grass was a hub cap. Gill stepped on it, it slid away and she fell face down inches from a barbed-wire fence. No damage from the barbed wire, but she fell awkwardly and broke her wrist.

When I was at Iguassu, I saw a group of 3 obviously military men, one in a wheelchair. There was no way that anyone would call the terrain wheelchair friendly. That didn't bother these guys. When the going got tough, thr tough just picked up the wheelchair, occupant and all, and carried it over the rough bits.

I set a new personal best when caching around Bungendore & Tarago yesterday. I smashed my old record of 7 DNF's in a day. 10 DNF's yesterday I haven't logged them yet. 22 finds 10 DNF's and 8 NM's.

That much is true. However, the major part of the decision was the cost of maintaining or updating the software needed to continue providing benchmarks. Were benchmarks being found by a vast majority of American members the decision may have been different. But they weren't and it isn't.

Assume that the AL is in a town somewhere and the 5 stops are along the high street, looking at interesting features. The actual AL might take 15 minutes if all you do is look at the features and answer the questions. On the other hand, it might take up to 2 hours if you do some window-shopping, find a traditional or two, stop for coffee and/or lunch. After the first few visitors, we might have approximate times of 15 minutes x 2 (rushing - trying to get FTF on the bonus), 30 minutes x 1 (they had a coffee break), 60 minutes x 1 (they stopped off at the supermarket to grab some groceries), 75 minutes x 1 (had coffee and found a couple of traditionals), 90 minutes x 2 ( a couple with separate accounts who stopped for lunch), 4 days x 1 (they did part of the AL on the way through and the rest on the way back). Certainly the median (between 60 and 75 minutes) is better than the average, but it is still 4 times the actual time necessary. If I'm looking for somewhere to stop for lunch and see an AL in the next town, I won't bother with it if it is going to take over an hour more than my lunch break, but would do it if I knew it was really 15 minutes.

The calculation is nonsense. I takes the average amount of time from logging the first in the series to logging the last. It takes no account of the fact that the finders may have stopped off for coffee, taken a lunch break, been doing multiple labs at the same time or any other factor. The ALO's time gives a much better idea for the user. Two of my examples The walk from one end to the other takes about 15 minutes without stopping, so allow an hour or so to answer the questions and admire views at various locations en route. You can probably drive the whole adventure in an hour, but why not take a morning, afternoon or day to explore the area and enjoy the views and beaches you visit.

I just put something in the description. It will be more accurate than the calculation.
