I've found a little bug with the GE KML you'll probably want to fix pretty quick. I'm using GE Mac version 5.0.11733.9347. After running my used views up to a dozen or so I'll go off and do something else leaving GE open. Returning to GE after a short time (5-6 min.) and panning the map, my used view count drops back down to 1. This happens every time.
It did the same thing on my XP machine earlier but I haven't been able to repeat it since.
Just did it again. Seems to be when I let it sit for a longer time than the 6 or 6 minutes.

You have over 14,000 posts and you need my help writing logs?
Seems to me he was looking for a gentler way to broach the subject.

Working great. Thanks for the hard work.
Quick question. Is it possible to set it to save your refresh setting? I know, I know. Questions already?

All three are adequate.
Logging is not a science, it's an art. Write what you are inspired to write. Some caches and some locations, and some experiences inspire me more than others. Then again some people seem to lack in the ability to be inspired.

In case you haven't found it yet, the new link to download GC's KML is on your My Profile page.
I know it will provide you with hours of enjoyment. I only hope that it does not crash th

I may still spin the globe but I'll keep it set to only refresh on demand. Should be easier on the system and makes more sense anyway.

Thank you very much for the return of the KML, viewer, what ever you want to call it. I haven't played with it much yet but I did set it to refresh only on demand. Very happy with that. I think it should have done that before. It may have for all I know. Either way it makes the tool more flexible. Can't wait to play with it but I'm going to have to. Other things need doing first.
Anyway thanks for bringing this back.

I gave up such hides. It just wasn't fun any more.
-
Wow! The information may not seem helpful but they are trying to help.
-
I am new to the sport and also new to the area so that means I go it alone. I really enjoy the peace and quiet. That said there are times I think it would be a lot of fun to go with a group just for laughs and company. Being retired can mean a lot of time alone.
Do a search for events in your area. You will meet a bunch of people who are interested in geocaching just like you. What's a better way to meet locals in your new home area?
I found this one by centering a PQ search on one of your finds.

After you submit a log a page comes up with the option to upload a picture. Or you can go to a cache page you have logged and click the link just below your log that says (upload an image for this log)

Today I got my first cache! I was walking through a foresty area and was hacking down dead branches in my way (I got dirty... and a blister)...
Excuse me, but why were you 'hacking' down anything? Have you never heard the phrase 'leave no trace'? Did you tell the cache owner this? What if s/he wanted it to be a little more difficult to get to than just a 'stroll in the woods'?
Would you 'hack' away in a city park? Someone's front yard?
Amazing...
I was just making a way to get through thick branches and what not. it was off the trail so who really cares? I didn't do any real damage so, once again, who cares? and the cache wasn't even in that area so the owner woudln't care. trust me it's not just a stroll in the woods. it was a really good spot to hide it. at least I thought it was. it was my first so I haven't found anymore to compaire to.
I have hacked at a tree in the park in TN when I was a kid with my best friend. it was fun ^^ and I run around in this field by my house with one oh my swords and pratice on these weird stalk things that grow back there. I think they are called milk weed? I dunno... but I do know they are poisnoious. oh and I'm very sorry to everone because I know I spelled a lot of stuff wrong... why is it that math and sicence is so easy but spelling kills me....
Look at it like this. What would the park look like if everyone who visited knocked down a couple of branches? It wouldn't be long and there would be no more branches.

Write longer logs......
Use a computer with a larger screen.
Increase your screen resolution.
or....
Just hit your enter key after typing - no need to scroll and click.
I you want to do the enter key bit you better hit the "tab" key about four times first.
-
Yeah, changing to a note really isn't changing much. The point is to leave the outside stuff outside of geocaching.

These are the posts that make me disappointed enuf to make the title my philosiphy

It would probably be called something like "What is your problem?! Just because I ASKED for flowers doesn't mean I WANT flowers! I WANT chocolate and you should know that without being told! You don't love me! <sob>"
-
Well this thread is about par for the course around here.
-
I was pointing out Nate's earlier response that because the refresh count will be limited sharing the KML will actually diminish its usefulness.
-
You sound like you have an axe to sharpen
OK OK I'll stop now... mercy!
Look, I just think you are missing the point here.
Missing the point?! Didn't you read the thread? They're missing the whole darn pencil for crying out loud!
It's like they were erased from existence.

Sounds like a good description of a cache container. Just don't tell some of the never been married young male cachers what it is.
-
I vote yes. Make it an attribute that defines a cache as on or within 300 feet of playground equipment.

Thanks for the plug.

I've always thought of that as the main advantage over just viewing a PQ in GE. If I try to view 500 caches cantered on my home coordinates I'm only going to see a couple of miles represented. If I want an overview of a "day trip" radius this is the only choice. Then if I want more detail on an area I just zoom in and refresh the view.
