[hiding a cache with a gps]

Hi all, usually i use my phone to average the coordinates when hiding a cache. I have recently bought a garmin colarado 300 and want to give this a go to be more accurate but don't know how to do it. I have the colarado wiki site but cant find help there. i can make a waypoint but can't find the coords for said waypoint. What am i doing wrong???

Cheers for any help,

Colin.

[colarado 300, what to do now?]

thanks for all the help especially eusty who has me on some great maps on the unit now for free. cheers all.

[colarado 300, what to do now?]

brilliant, thanks

[colarado 300, what to do now?]

cheers

[colarado 300, what to do now?]

also how do i get the display brighter, inside it looks very dark and really hard to make anything out, outside its better.

[colarado 300, what to do now?]

Sick of my phone keep losing its signal so i decided to buy a secondhand gps and now i haven't got a clue as to what to do. Any help in getting the unit to recognise where i am and show on the map or how to get caches to my device, i managed this off geocaching.com but do i save to device or sd card for best results????? please help.

[Muggle Alert!]

Just tell the truth, they might like to get involved themselves

[geocaching in rain with phone]

i think i'll give the phone in a bag a try, not sure my screens as responsive as the iphone though. thanks guys.

[geocaching in rain with phone]

Hi all

i use a smartphone to geocache and it limits me to when its dry. I'm not bothered about the rain i have all the right gear to keep me dry i don't want my phone to get wet and break. how do you keep your phones dry when caching or do you just not bother going when its raining? i use a htc wildfire.

[can't retrieve bug]

it turned out to be the wrong bug logged into the cache so the code wasn't ever going to work, sorted it with previous dropper.

[can't retrieve bug]

what to do, i put the code in and it says wrong code for this trackable but it is the correct code, strange.

mine is me trying to be a zombie

[cant open my favourites folder on htc wildfire]

hello, i also have use a wildfire and have c.geo and Groundspeak apps on my phone, Groundspeak is far inferior to c.geo in every way, try it for yourself, it's free also.

[Getting coordinates with an android.]

i have used gps averaging for my 9 hides and only had an issue with 1 of them which was soon sorted, most of the logs state coords spot on.

[Where and when did you hear about geocaching the first time?]

i had heard of it before but forgot about it until i got my new smart phone and stumbled on a list of top apps to have and there was the geocaching app, the rest is history

[quick tb question]

Hi all, in jan i moved a tb to a cache and i noticed the other day it's still not been moved on. i know i can revisit the cache, but can i move the same bug i have already moved once (to move it to a more frequented cache)???

[i hid my first cache]

i've only been geocaching since Jan this year and i have 7 caches of my own and pretty much within a few days the logs will start rolling in. It's great to see the comments left about what you have put time and effort in hiding. Good luck.

[drooping tb in my own cache]

thanks

[drooping tb in my own cache]

thanks for the replies. would i also use the "write a note" to retrieve a tb from a cache i have already found too? a cache that isn't my own.

[drooping tb in my own cache]

hi all, i recently placed a cache called jaws and have picked up a tb from another cache also named jaws, would i be able to drop this off in my own cache if i dont log as finding the cache as it's my own, but just log the dropping off of the tb?

[Feeling silly...and a few Q's]

my daughter and i had a good one yesterday, a magnetic nano stuck to a statue of a tree on a very busy crossroads with traffic stopped at all sides waiting for the lights to change. we just had to forget about them and get on with the job in hand, i would like to know what some of them were thinkng though. found it too.

[is it ok to? tb question.]

thanks for the replies. The family member does have an account but only a few weeks ago when i told him all about it and he bought a shiny new android phone to go geocaching he was so impressed, it will most probably be one of his first finds to drop the tb off.

[is it ok to? tb question.]

Hi all

Having recently become a huge fan of geocaching and 23 finds i recently purchased my own tb. is it ok to let someone else place the bug in a cache for you or is that frowned upon??? you see a family member is going on holiday and wants to place it in a cache near to where they are staying.
