  1. Hello,

     

    Is there any plan to release a native symbian^3 application for geocaching? iOS and Adroid apps are released and I think Nokia is still planning to ship 150 million symbian powered handsets in near future so there is definitely some potential for Groundspeak to make some extra cash :-)

     

    Cheers,

    Filip

  2. Certain caches which have a lot of html formatting seem to come across this way when using Send To GPS. Communicator does something to these caches to make them display as raw html on the Colorado. If you download caches with less html formatting you won't see the tags.

     

    Currently this is better than not having the description available at all or having the Colorado choke on the description which it seems to do with many caches that have embedded html tables.

    Thanks g-o-cashers.

     

    When I manually download the GPX eXchange file to the GPX folder on Colorado (not using the Send To GPS button), the html tags are hidden and everything is ok. So somehow Communicator is the tool to blame... :-(

     

    Thanks anyway,

    Filip

  3. With most Garmins you get a base map that comes with the unit. Is that software good and will it get you to the cache. And how much detail does the software have. I would just like to put more money into the GPS unit and get the mapping software latter. :o

     

    Thank you, Brad

     

    Hi Brad.

     

    I am not sure how detailed is the base map for US but I would suggest to buy a local topo map anyway. You can do geocaching with the base map but it is nothing close to perfect. I used it last week for a flight from Dubai to Paris and it was nice to see the flight route on the base map... BTW, I have the Colorado 300.

     

    Hope that helps,

    Filip

  4. Hello all.

     

    I am pretty much new to this forum. I am using the Colorado 300 unit with latest 2.40 FW. I just realized that when I use the "SEND TO GPS" option from geocaching.com, the details option for particular geocache displays the text including html tags visible. When I check the hint details or last 5 logs, the text is formatted correctly and tags are not visible. Can someone duplicate this, please?

     

    Thanks a lot.

     

    Cheers,

    Filip
