Oh really? That's excellent news! Aren't I the stoopid one with baby brain? I will check it out. Thank you Valeites Jess

I *think* you can't go back once you have installed iOS 6. Hopefully some clever soul at Groundspeak will ensure we can use decent maps. I suspect they might take some persuading though, Apple maps don't seem to be as bad in the US as they are in many areas of the UK.

iPhone and iPad users; the Apple maps that have replaced Google Maps in the io6 upgrade yesterday are, well if you haven't seen them have a quick search. They leave a lot to be desired! The Groundspeak app seems to use them *argh* instead of Google Maps. Does anyone know a way around this? I'm sure there'll be a Google Maps app at some point. We use PQs on our Garmin for caching trips but you can't beat the iPhone & maps feature for spontaneous oh-go-on-then-let's-see-if-there-are-any-around-here moments. Thanks, Jess

Perhaps someone damaged your original ammo can, felt guilty and replaced with the best one they could find. Very odd.

That's a really good idea!

Aw thanks everyone This is very helpful!

As the title says really, do you have a satnav for your car that allows you to enter coords? I'm guessing Garmin does but can't find the info on their boxes. Cheers

Sorry Raine, I didn't see your question until today Yes, my cookies are wiped every time I shut down. It helps keep things running smoothly and is only ever a problem for this annoying pop up. (As it was so annoying, I now have a macro set up to run through the whole logging on system for me with one click! How lazy) Exactly. Whether or not people accept cookies, the pop up needs not be there. Let's remove it now!

Sweet. Now can we make the "Beta Maps" popup go away? I second, third and fourth that ^ ^

Wouldn't it be funny if it was throwing up random and bizarre words instead? Sort of like Geo-tourettes

Didn't see him get his poop bag out to scoop up at 7:09

I've been told it's my fault for... Being scared.

Absolutely!

I downloaded this script (LOVE Greasemonkey!!) a while ago and it is FAB. Thank you so much for writing it, I use it all the time. Jess

I just saw your replies teamtisri and eusty. Thank you very much Haven't splashed the cash yet but am eyeing up the new Etrex 30. Am also heading off to an event as soon as I can squeeze one in. I'm dying to meet the local cachers and if it's in or near a pub then all the better! Thanks again! Jess

Thanks for that, I had no idea there was a limit until you pointed it out

***Congratulations to TAG for his 3000th today***

Just found a gem on the internet, wanted to share Where's the paths?

Oops forgot to add the cache page

This is my husband and I (he was barefoot) celebrating our 700th.

Back online for me. At last! Hope it is the same for others.

Same in the UK Shame, logging one cache has taken fifteen minutes. Not going to have time to log the other seventeen. Hope it's back up soon.

Thanks, good idea. I know, the chap in Maplins today was hilarious - "You need it for what?"

I am posting here instead of in the Technology forum as it is a local thing really. I am in the market for a new GPSr. Where can you go to try models out? It's all very well reading lists of specs or even other people's reviews online but... sometimes you've just got to PLAY with something before you choose it! I have checked out the local shops - Millets, White & Bishop, other sports shops, Maplin, Curry's etc. but they only seem to stock one or two and most only stock an eTrex and that's it. All advice gratefully received! Thanks.

What a fab reply! Thanks for going into so much detail. I really appreciate it
