That a common denominator of a geocacher is the love of the outdoors.

I visited Oakwood Cemetery in Montgomery, AL to do research. Thought I could use a pen and pad to draw a map of this cemetery.When I got there the cemetery consisted of 150 acres! Noway! How can I use a gps to do this? What software? Any site on the internet that when coordinates are entered, position is shown on an aerial photo? Example for this postion: N 32° 23.010 W86° 17.807. Any thoughts?

Singing birds, wind rustling the leaves, gurgling of a nearby stream. Etc. Etc.

Nobody Sir is forcing you to log a locationless cache. I haven't seen nor heard that in order to use the services of geocaching.com YOU MUST LOG LOCATIONLESS CACHES. It is an option. Nothing more, Nothing less.

Locationless caches are great. I just don't get the controversy.I have a simple solution,if you don't want to log a locationless cache, DON'T. Who is forcing you? It would be a shame to do away with locationless caches.

I have come to the very fast realization that my gps eats up batteries. What is worst than a beeping message LOW BATTERIES on a GPS? When you are 400 feet away from a cache when you get that message. Before Geocaching I never had a need for a battery charger. What are you, fellow geocachers, think I need in a battery charger for double AA's ? Is there a name brand charger? Does a charged battery last as long as a just purchased one? Any info? [This message was edited by civilwarranger on May 20, 2002 at 09:40 AM.]

Several virtual caches (AND Locationless caches) are in my area. In order to log the visit a picture of you with GPS at site is required. My problem is my pictures always are over the 100kb limit to download. Way over the limit. What am I doing wrong? I use my Sony digital Handycam still camera option. HELP!

Markwell, Thank you. I just posted a photo to my listing. Have a great rest of the day.

Good day. How do you add a picture to your cache listing? Not the type where you need to click to bring it up. I see The weather Channel, P.o.w/M.i.a and others. Just wandering. Have a great rest of the day.

Good day. New to Geocaching so I need advice that I am sure that I can find here. What are your thoughts on these three gps units? Garmin Vista, Magellan Meridian Platinum and the Lowrance Globelmap 100?. Pro or cons on each? Side by side comparison? Any information will be greatly helpful. Have a great rest of the day.
