As kunarion says....
Unzip a PQ and drop the GPX files in the \garmin\GPX directory, no software needed
-
Cache maintenance on Christmas Day can bring a bit of magic with it.
but it is really a crock of gold - but, remember, the usual rules on exchanging items still apply!
So you took the gold.....and left a rubber band?
-
Have you tried modifying before loading it on the 450?
GSAK will allow you to create GPX files with custom info
-
Never seen any.....gotta link?
-
Just noticed that NX Tag Writer now lets you put geo tags in DDMMSS format!
I guess text is still the best format due to the possible compatibility issues? I guess that when (if) it becomes more common things may change.
-
Although just using a phone to search for the tags seemed a good idea, in practice I remembered how much better a proper GPSr was, so tried to make it accessible for the use of both.
-
Oh...a small suggestion....mygeocachingmanager.com is available.
Also where you can filter between Available and Archived, would it be an idea to add Temporary Disabled?
Or possible change it to select Available/Not Available? This would make more sense as you wouldn't generally download archived caches in a PQ.
-
I like the quick support...top stuff...now off the check the English website
-
It looks good, although there is one thing which would be annoying... KM instead of miles!!
Also a way of opening GPX files rather than dropping them in a directory. Opening zip files downloaded would be a great idea.
If I wasn't a GSAK user then I'd definitely give this a go
-
Haven't downloaded it yet, but it looks good.
Pity the website wasn't in English too

Thanks

Hello, I'm fairly new to the forums and I want to post a photo on one of my threads. But I don't know how to upload photos with my forum threads and posts. I know how to upload photos to my normal geocaching logs but I don't know how to upload photos to the forums. Any help please?
Just click on the 'Inset Image' button at the top of the post.
These need to be web links (not uploading to the forum software) so you may need to host your picture at a free image hosting server, imageshack, pohobucket etc and use that link.

Finally got around to laying my cache today, it's a multi and you have to scan four tags to find the cache.
I started programming the tags using the method suggested by John E Cache here, but one of the issues is that there is a poor phone signal, so google maps doesn't open up very well. Another issue is that it programs the co-ordinates in decimal rather than DD MM.MMM as most GPSr units default to.
In the end I went for the best compatibility (and easiest to program) and used text format. Ironic really as I struggled to find suitable outdoor NTAG203 tags which would fit all the geolocation data on....and using text I could have used readily available Ultralight tags!
-
Pay up like the rest of us!!!!
-
WELL worth the money
It can do just about anything with cache data....
-
It's a text file called geocache_visits.txt in the \Garmin directory on the GPS.
If you use the fieldnotes feature to log your caches the notes come up for you
-
I can see the logic in this, but multiple DNF's can alert a CO and also gives you an idea whether it's worth searching hard for a cache. If there are several DNF's on a cache with a low D rating we only have a quick look then move on.Some people say one should not post multiple DNF logs if you attempt a cache repeatedly because it pushes the other logs (with potentially valuable detail) down the page and out of sight.
-
I thought the caches that used chirps are of type "beacon". I may be way off.They have no way to filter out Chirp caches but they exist. I agree there is no reason to do a trial . They should just be approved.
Beacon is the attribute to use. the type would be Unknown if it wasn't part of a multi. Info
-
It's all here
-
But It's not really a new type, to me it's a wireless beacon?
-
I contacted our local reviewer (here in the UK) as I was thinking about laying a multi using NFC tags and he said it wouldn't be an issue......
...guess it depends on the reviewer.
-
The issue I have is that the only ruggedised tags I can get are Ultralite, so restricted to 46bytes.To fit the data on a tag with a single identifier you can only have a precision of four decimal places.
I got some of these for testing. Thick, rigid, 3M adhesive at the back (no idea what kind). I guess you're in the UK? buynfctags.com will ship internationally, but I'm not sure how exorbitant or slow it is going to be.
I can get similar to that over here, I was hoping for something like these as they are easy to fix to a post etc
-
It's only for your info, so yes anything you like
-
If it's the official app then you can add a waypoint when you are viewing the map, Menu>Add Waypoint or from the compass screen, Menu>Destination>Add Waypoint.
The issue is that you can only see these once you navigate to the cache, so do this with the puzzle cache then navigate to the waypoint
What program should I use for Geocaching with a Oregon 450?
in How do I...?
