    Cache notification

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    If you saw my reply above that describes what I get when I search within the site you might understand why i asked the question. Yes I agree it should be very simple. One should not have to resort to using Google to find different pages within a f=given web page.

     

    If this does in fact come up weekly maybe it is time to address it. As for caches verses searching within the site. Caches are set with some level of Logic that allows one to figure them out. I have not seen the Logic of the site yet.

    How is one supposed to find it on their own.

    Searching the Help Center is one way. I just tried searching for "notifications" there, and the first two results are for "Instant Notifications" and "Updating Instant Notifications". Google is also good for finding that kind of information. Using your search term below in Google gave me the Instant Notification page as the top result. If you mean you just want to know how to get to that page, it's linked in the right-hand menu bar on your profile page.

     

    When I type in "Notification of a new cache" the page fills in what I am typing, leading one to believe it will have an answer and then comes back with Zero finds.

    I'm curious, where are you typing this? None of the search functions on this site use auto-fill.

     

    The Help Center. I just tried it again, typed the word "notification" and it filled in "of new cashes" and this is the result I got Search: notification and of and new and caches (0)

    That's why I provided the link for you. The phrase "Instant Notification page" in my post above is clickable.

    Yes and Thanks for the link but. How is one supposed to find it on their own. When I type in "Notification of a new cache" the page fills in what I am typing, leading one to believe it will have an answer and then comes back with Zero finds. Found my answer for now. Even if I wanted to get back to your suggestion by searching in the Forum that can't be done.

     

    That is why I say this site needs HELP

    Can I follow caches on an I Pad

    in How do I...?

    Posted · Edited by acachebox

    I don't see an app in the Apple Store for the I Pad. I am using Geocaching.com on my computer and would like the same on the I Pad if possible to reduce confusion.

     

    The other question is since this is my wife's I Pad will I have to subscribe as a new user an new membership?

     

    She would like to follow history on the I Pad rather than the computer because I Hog it.

     

    *snip* it doesn't matter whose account its under because you log in with your geocaching.com info not your apple ID

     

    Read what I've bolded. You can use your wifes geocahcing account, your, mine, anyone's. It's just like facebook. Log out and back in.

     

    You still have not said what you mean by following a cache...

     

    Without a data(phone) connection an Ipad would not be very useful(as you can only view what you saved)

    And you can't navigate to a geocache with the website-you need an App on your device(Phone Ipad whatever) or a GPSr to navigate to a cache.

     

    By follow I meant keep track of what we have done, what caches we have found, bug placed or visited. The same access i have on my computer not to be used in the field. We are using an I Phone and a Garmin 450 for that. I did not realize that it is the user ID that cost that once owned I, or she, could sign in on any device. I have just placed my first cache that's what brought this up, the following

    I'm on my ipad right now. I use the browser to access geocaching.com.

    You can also use the geocaching iPhone app on your ipad.

     

    Thanks that worked out fine.

    Is there a way to follow my caches on my I Pad? I do not see an app listed for the I Pad directly. Now to carry the question a bit further the I Pad is not on my Apple account. It will be on my wife's I Pad and that I Pad does not have a phone connection just wifi.

    Loading a PQ to my IPhone

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    Open the geocaching app, at the bottom click on Pocket Queries. This will show you a list of your created queries, click on the one you want. This will show you list or map view, you can interchange. Upper right corner click on the "..." and choose Save to Offline List. You can now access your PQ's from the main screen by selecting "Saved" at the bottom.

     

    I made a mistake in my original post. I want to upload a PQ to my Garmin Oregon 450.

     

    However I attempted to follow the above instructions to load a PQ to my IPhone and could not find any PQ notation on the page so failed at that point.

     

    Once I get notification via e mail that I have a PQ it is from that point I need help. What do I do with the file to prepare it for uploading and how do I upload it.

    using satallite maps

    You have that ability from the geocaching.com map. When you're looking at it, make sure you've selected Google maps under "Set Map Preferences" and then in the upper right corner you can toggle between the map and the satellite imagery.

     

    Thanks got it

    New Caches on I Phone

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    When can I expect New Caches to appear on my I Phone. I asked this question a week ago and was told the problem was fixed. I will ask it again because it is still broke.

     

    Is there a way to search for my posting history?

    How do I get a Pocket Query

    in How do I...?

    Posted · Edited by acachebox

    I really appreciate your tutorial on Pocket Queries but I have hit an impasse.

     

    I can follow you to #3 but can not follow this section.

     

    You will need to unzip the file. Go to the .zip file, right click on it and

    select Extract all. Windows should be able to do this. If you have problems unzipping it then

    there are free programs that can be used to unzip the file such as ZipGenius.

     

    If I right click on the file I get several options to manage the LINK.

     

    I do not see the Documents Library. How do I open it?

     

    I have one of the files with a GPX extension on my desk top. When I left click on it I get a

    Geomate Loader drop down box and am stopped there.

    OK I have received a pocket Query and have located the file. I have no idea nor are there any instruction as to what to do now to get it on my GPS.

    When I click on it in the Pocket Queries ready for download it open a Geomate Loader drop down box and that is it. What is next?

    When is a cache posted to Mobile app?

    in How do I...?

    It seams I thank Groundspeak to soon for correcting this problem. Of the 11 caches published for the D&R Canal today in New Jersey only 9 were available on my I Phone while I was in the field at 12 noon. If I searched for the missing 2 by name, off another cachers GPS, they would come up as a result of the search and then appear on the map if I searched on the map.
