Yup, it's going back.

Jumping in... my calibration screen appears to work. I can hit all six dots with fingers or more precisely with a pen. It doens't change the end result. My spot appears static. When I change to landscape, I can press the button in the lower right corner. I do, however, experience trouble with the lower left corner so the only way to navigate successfully is to flip between the orientations. The rest of the screen works fine (at the moment). It seems limited to about 1/2" square at the corners.

1) Mine lasted about 6 weeks before the screen went kablooey. 2) Nothing that I can specifically point at. I'd been using it that day then got another PQ on it and from that point I couldn't press the lower right button in portrait mode. 3) lower right corner won't work in portrait mode - specifically the right-most button. The others on the bottom row work fine. It's spreading upward though.

Is there somewhere to download this without using WebUpdater? The garmin servers cannot be reached, apparently, when visiting Canada :-(

Mine was behaving fine until yesterday. Now, in portrait, the bottom right corner is off such that I cannot get the sub-menu in the Nuvi screen. I can get the options by rotating the screen around so I can work with it. I'm not sure if this is hardware or software since I haven't made any updates to the firmware a couple of weeks ago (2.60). I don't have time to call today or this weekend but maybe on Monday. Weird that it just started happening though...

Each geocache also includes: <sym>Geocache</sym> or <sym>Geocache Found</sym>

Baffled me, too, for a while. Setup->Profiles->sub-menu (three bar thingie)->Set Mount Profiles There you'll find Automotive Mount, Rugged Mount, Not Mounted, and External Power Only. You can set each to a specific profile or Last Used or No Change.

No, some of the shortcut options appear to be broken. Try placing a whereto shortcut for "search by coordinates" anywhere. Tap, tap, tap, nothing. I've noticed a few more that behave like that as well but can't remember them. Thanks for the reply! At least I know I don't just have to press harder ;-)

If I was a betting man, I'd have lost the bet. I would have thought adding a shortcut to the Automotive profile with the Shortcuts in Setup where I chose that profile and left the other choices blank, and adding that to the Geocaching Main Menu would have let me tap it to change the profile. Instead, nothing. Tap, tap, tap - just sits on the existing Geocaching Profile. The reverse is true as I added a Geocaching profile shortcut and added that to the Main Menu of the Automotive profile. Tap, tap, tap - nothing. Is there something else I need do to make this work? TIA! (FW 2.60)

When using the geocaching dashboard, is there a way to change the number of decimals in the distance? I was hiking this weekend and had the geocaching dashboard up and the distance was only in tenths of a mile. It would be useful to get this like the compass where the distance is measured in hundreths. It's hard to tell if you're getting closer when it doesn't change from "0.7" for a long time.

I had that happen as we approached Williamsport, PA this weekend. I was in automotive mode in the cradle and the time to destination was about 18 minutes. When I swapped to distance it listed 2339 miles. It stubbornly refused to bring this number down and when I reached just a mile or so away, it still showed 2300+. We made a turn and changed geocaches so I never did find out what it was when I was next to the cache. It only happened that one time. (FW 2.50)

The first two photos are the Black Nickel - white on black - showing the back and the front. Those are the ones for sale. The last two photos are of the Black Nickel transparency with the light in the background to show the colors.

Thanks! I should note that the colors are a bit off in the photos. The outside is a glossy white, like a slide. There aren't any colors for them. The interior transparency has white, green, blue, and red.

In commemoration and celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the first cache placement in Maine, I've created this new geocoin to add to the collection of Maine-related geocoins. Since this is the nation's most photographed lighthouse, it's the exact dimensions of a photographic slide. The transparency is meant to be like a 35mm "negative" but as a positive image, like a slide has. They are trackable on geocaching.com with a unique icon. Maine's first cache is GC128 The For Williams Cache, placed on January 2, 2001, in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The coin depicts the Portland Headlight at Fort Williams in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. You can find more information about the Portland Headlight at the Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_Head_Light). This historic lighthouse was completed in 1791 and has been in operation ever since. Fort Williams Park is operated by the Town of Cape Elizabeth. You can find out more about the park at http://www.capeelizabeth.com/visitors/attractions/fort_williams_park/home.html At the time of the anniversary, GC128 had had 1158 logged visits. The cache was replaced and relocated in 2003 and has been hidden in the same location since. It's perhaps Maine's most beat up ammo can :-) All logs from 2003 until now are still in the cache. Photographs of the coin are attached... the color in the photos is a bit off. The outside is all white on both sides, regardless of how it looks in the photo. The transparency inset has white, green, red, and blue. In total, there are 300 coins: 50 Gold (G) (Mainers only) and 250 Black Nickel (BN) (for everyone). All are available for the 10th Anniversary price of just $10 each. The Gold version is limited to Maine geocachers only. Each Maine cacher is limited to ONE (1) Gold version. This version is only be available when you see me in person or make arrangements to pick one up. After the debut event on January 30, there were just 4 Gold versions remaining so I'll hold those for Mainers. The Black Nickel will be available to all with shipping available. Each coin is $10 plus $2.50 shipping for US addresses for the first coin and $0.50 per coin for each additional coin (e.g., 2 coins are $23, 4 coins are $44). There are just 300 and when they're gone, there are no more. About 200 remain after the Celebrate Caching event on January 30. If you have any questions, please post or email and I'll do my best to reply promptly. Please don't send PMs as I don't see those very often. To order, send an email to: Maine10@kayakerinme.com with your PayPal email address, caching name, name, mailing address and how many Black Nickel coins you would like. I'll send a PayPal invoice for the total amount, then ship on payment. For international orders I'll send an email with a quote for shipping, depending on how many coins and where you are. If you want to trade, I'm happy to do so as long as it's for a coin I don't already have. These days, that's a lot! Send trade offers to the same email as for orders: Maine10@kayakerinme.com. Lastly, I do still have some kayakerinme sets in antique silver available for trade. Send me an email for more details.

Just tried this again and it worked flawlessly. I was having trouble earlier but now it's great. Thanks for the fix!

I tried this yesterday and got the same results. I thought maybe it was the route so I tried creating a new one and get the same problem.

kayakerinme - Portland Maine

I'm finally back from traveling and I have a bunch of emails in my Inbox. I'll try to get to them all tonight. Thanks in advance for all the offers

I clearly remember reading on Barry's website back then, that this set was NOT to be sold on Ebay, whether traded from Kayakerinme or anyone else. He also mentioned, to contact him first so he can get the set back. Again, nothing was said to me at the time of the trade with Barry. To assume that I had read a website regarding the "stipulations" of this coin(s) is quite a stretch. I've posted several times on various threads about not being for sale. However, if you contact me, I'm sure we can trade back. Or sell them. Or enjoy them. As I said, I cannot control what people do with them - only re-state my intent and opinion.

It's been a long time since I visited the geocoin forums, longer still since I made a post, and even longer since I started a topic. Four years ago I created a set of coins that I consider my small contribution to the geocoin community. If you're not familiar with the 5-coin panel, you can find more information at kayakerinme.com. I'd like to say for the record, again, that I always intend kayakerinme sets to be trade-only. This has caused discussions in the past about whether I can say that. I certainly can't enforce it as is evidenced by the auction currently taking place or the handful that have transacted over the years. It is, to me, a matter of principal and integrity. I guess in that way I'm old school - an anachronism in the geocoin community. I was recently informed that two sets of my coins are to be auctioned on ebay. I've voiced my strong objection; it will not dissuade. So be it. That said, I hope anyone who is thinking of bidding will first consider making a trade with me. I have a number of antique silver kayakerinme sets remaining from my 2006 minting. Pictures are available with the information at kayakerinme.com. You, too, can obtain a kayakerinme set without the need to bid. Got 3-5 trackable coins you can trade? Got 3-5 coins I don't already have (and that's lots from the past 2 years)? Send me an email through the forums and I'm sure we can work out a deal. I'll be offline for the 10 year event in Canada but will be back online on Monday 7/12 and will reply to emails then.

Seeking a couple of Cache Hoppers: Turquoise/Black Nickel Green/Black Nickel Have for trade: Red/Black Nickel Red/Gold Purple/Nickel Purple/Gold Black/Black Nickel Black/Nickel Green/Nickel Trades made! Thanks for the help!

Sadly, that's the one that has all the little removable compartments that make it hard to add new ones in the alphabet... That one is really very close and will probably be a good match. I might have to make a trip to Massachusetts one of these days.

Where on Amazon? Do you have a link?

I have been searching for a few weeks to find some more organizer trays. I started using trays like the one pictured a ways back after finding them at Home Depot. I have about 20 of them and need more but I cannot find these anywhere locally. Home Depot stopped carrying the Workforce version and had them for a while under the Stanley brand. However, they've even stopped carrying those. I have been to Lowes but no luck there either. Anyone know where I can get trays like these (preferably in New England somewhere but ordering is okay)? Are there trays that are similar to these? Thanks, kayakerinme

Thanks Avroair for the heads up! I'll host one here in Maine. Time to get a location and post the event :-)
