  1. Thanks for the comments.

     

    I think my buddy got some help and it looks like the problem is solved.

     

    Somewhere along the line we changed the Cache description and Waypoint Name % codes in GSAK when we exported. We listed %name instead of % smart and that changed the configuration. Corrected them and a trial log upload fine and it worked.

     

    Thanks again

  2. Thanks for the comments. The visits file is OK and not corrupted and we can read the contents. Remember my friend has the same problem with a different GPSr and a different computer and different log in name, :wub:

     

    As far as going to each cache page and logging individually. Why would I do that when my Colorado is supposed to have all the field notes to load and it has worked in the past? I believe this was worked out between Garmin and Groundspeak. :wub:

     

    BTW, using the field notes has always worked in the past. Strange that two cachers have the same problem at the same time. I wonder if other Colorado Owners are having the same problem.

  3. Using the Garmin Colorado 400t with software version 2.6 and Windows Vista with IE v 7.0. It has recently stopped uploading any field notes. A friend and I both have the same problem with different systems and different GPS receivers (both Colorado 400t).

     

    After caching and hooking up the Colorado 400t attempting to upload all field notes I get a message stating that the upload was successful.

     

    However, when attempting to access the notes from the log page the message appears that field notes can't be found.

     

    Contacted Garmin and they state the GPS receiver is good and the fault lies with Groundspeak.

     

    Comments and/or suggestions please.

    Also, Is this the right place to address this?

     

    Thanks

  4. I don't know if I understand your question however, the other day I was caching and hit the bottom of the "rock and roller" when tracking a cache and a small display with the compas and distance popped up right above the map.

    I had both the map and compass. <_<

    Quick Colorado question.

     

    When I'm navigating to a geocache I get the pointer arrow for direction and a distance on-screen that decreases as I approach the cache.

     

    I'd like to get this display when navigating to a waypoint, but all I get is the map.

     

    Please can anyone tell me how to get the pointer and distance for going-to a waypoint?

     

    Thank-you

  5. AtlantaGirl,

     

    I've been slowly working on the states and don't have Iowa either. I would offer you $10.00 + a couple dollars for shipping if it is unactivated.

     

    I may even have something that you'd like to trade.

  6. I had the same problem at one time and Garmin replaced my unit even though it was out of warranty by a few weeks.

     

    However, the new one started doing the same thing as the old one. I tried several things which didn't work and finally I cleared all my waypoints and reinstalled them.

     

    Several months have passed and it is still working fine. Used it yesterday for 250 miles and 20 caches and it worked flawlessly.

     

    You might give that a try.

     

    Good Luck,

  7.  

    Also is there a place to trade pins?

     

    If you are into collecting lapel pins, I have some transit pins if you are interested in them let me know I will send you out a couple..

     

    I'm collecting Pins. What would you like to trade for yours?

  8. I was experiencing the same problem except I could recalibrate the compass and the pointer would work for awhile. Sometimes only minutes. I sent it back to Garmin, they sent me a new on which worked for awhile but started giving me problems just like the first one.

     

    Later I cleared ALL waypoints and reloaded them and a couple of months have passed with no problem.

     

    I surmise that I had at least two sets of caches loaded...some with 8 character names and others with 10. Of course I now had at least two waypoints located at the same spot.

     

    I'd suggest trying the same thing...it worked for me.

  9. I use GSAK and after dragging my Pocket Query results to GSAK to unzip them, I then export from the File menu to a HTML file.

     

    After that I use isilo to convert those files which puts them in my Palm Sync file. When I sync my Palm Tero 700p I then have a file in my "Isilo" folder to browse the caches just like you had printed them out.

  10. Can the units more geared for the auto be used for Geo Caching? Can you save tracks like you can with a handheld unit?

     

    thanks Chuck

     

    I have the Nuvi 360 and I did try it with a cache. You would be much better off with another unit as this is an excellent one in the car but not good to geocache. I use it to get there and then I use a 76CSx. No Tracks that I've found.

  11. Steve,

     

    I received your email and paid via your Paypal invoice.

     

    Jim D. Zip Code 76901. Does that refresh your memory? If not I can respond via your gmail account.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Jim D.

     

    Firstly - I did email everyone who ordered a coin before Xmas with an update. In which I said I was expecting delivery 2nd/3rd week of January - The Xmas/New Year break, amongst other things, held things up slightly.

     

    Secondly - Every coin I've ordered - all 350 have been sold - with the exception of 10 that are going in caches in places that Cornish Miners emigrated to. I'm afraid to say I got no response from Grass Valley or other sites in CA. But Some very helpful people in the UP of Michigan came to the rescue - so for now my American cache will be placed up there. Other caches are going to Mexico, South Africa, Canada and Australia.

     

    I would like to sometime place a cache in Grass Valley so please get in touch - maybe next year.

     

    As I said - I have no coins left - in fact all my spares that I had ordered have been sold, fortunantly I still have one left for me.

     

    Once the coins are delivered here - I'll be sending a bulk parcel to a friend in Canada via UPS and the North American ones will be shipped from there. The speed of American Postal Services I have little knowledge of, but i promise I'm doing everything in my power to get coins to everyone just as quickly as is possible.

     

    I'm seiing names I dont recognise, my fault for not asking for caching names on the Order Form. Could Skyhawk and Delta 123 email me and confirm names and address...?

     

    Many thanks

     

    Steve

  12. Sent e-mail for one nickel coin.

     

    Do you have an update on this coin? Payment was made a good time ago so I wonder if your order is on the way?.

     

    Coin is still in the order phase, unfortunately. I based the price I offered the coins to everyone on selling a certain amount. As it stands right now, we are a good bit short of that quantity. I either suggested too many or offered them too cheap.

     

    I have a request in to the mint trying to get revised quantity prices.

     

    My problem entirely... :)

     

    Thanks for the update. I grew up in Alabama and looking forward to receiving these.
