I'm having a similar issue - I have all my old notifications set to my phone's email, so they come as texts. I wanted to set up a new notification, for community celebration events (realized I missed one because I didn't know about it). I went to set it up and my regular email is prefilled and I can't change it. I much prefer the notification to come as a text then as an email.... I tried switching the text email to my primary, to no avail....

For me personally, there are two reason for wanting a lot of caches in my GPSr. 1) I'm at work and when I step out the door at quitting time, I decide to go cache. It is a spur of the moment decision. If I have the caches in my GPSr already, I'm free to go where I want. I don't have to go home and sync my GPSr to my home computer and then decided where to go cache. 2) I'm planning to go on vacation to a faraway land. I don't have a real itinerary, so I don't know where I'll be on any given day. I may or may not have internet connection. For this, I need to have my bases covered and have a lot of caches loaded into my GPSr Now, I will admit, I don't need 250,000 caches in either scenario. For my home location, I like to have about 2000 caches loaded. This is perfectly doable with 2 or 3 PQs. But if there was a modest increase to the size of the PQ, I could do this in one download and be done with it. Lazy? Maybe. But it would ensure I have all the geocaches loaded and I wouldn't have to worry a gap in the overlap area. For vacations, especially in high cache dense areas, I'm looking at dozens of PQs. Within 50 miles of Los Angeles, there are 25,000 caches. Paris has 13,000 caches, London has 38,000 caches. Toronto has 15,000 caches. I wouldn't advocate an increase from 1,000 to 10,000 caches, but even an increase from 1,000 to 2,000 would cut down on the querying the database. In an ideal world 12 PQs would pull in 12,000 caches, but realistically, with over lap area, you are pulling in a lot less. Why query the database for information you already have? I have the exact same reasons for wanting more in a query but I am not lazy, I am busy. I am a full time working mother. 1 query for my entire area or entire area I may be vacationing in is a much more efficient use of my time.

Different people cache in different ways. We don't all always go out with a specific list of caches for the day loaded onto the GPS, some of us load up an entire area and then have options while we're in the field. The "you won't find them all so it's pointless" argument is a strawman. Exactly. I work full time and can only really cache one day a week, if that. So yes - I prefer to just get them all on the GPS quickly and not have to worry about whether or not I have the caches I want on my GPS when I'm out in the middle of the woods .... or any place else I might find myself.

I live in a very cache dense area and to cover it I need 6 PQs - of course I'll never find them all but that's besides the point.... I too would like bigger PQs

GSAK is great but sometimes you want to make a list out in the field. I love the ability to view lists I've created at home since I have a ton.... but I'd also like to be able to create them on the fly. And being able to view them on a map is essential as well....

Can you view the list on a map?

I second this!! In addition to correcting them on the cache page (which puts them correctly in my pocket queries - and that makes them correct in my GPS) I keep an ongoing google map of "solved but not found puzzles" - I even put the link to the cache page and the correct coords in each placemark's description. This is so important for me because there's plenty of puzzles I've solved and plenty I haven't - just looking at my GPS or even the app on my phone's list of nearby caches doesn't always jog my memory that I've solved that puzzle (I love to solve puzzles - have lots and lots) ... This way when I look at google maps on my phone I can click "my maps" in the layers tab and that map comes up and I can see if I'm near any solved puzzles (and navigate right to them or click through to the cache page)

No - on my browser ... With Firefox.

All of a sudden all the corrected coordinates on puzzle caches are missing!!

I live in florida - i'd be happy to host a stage!!

Throwdowns

no caches on the map for me still today.....

here's Boca Raton, FL (minus the GRIMS which are all on ignore) - huge wildlife refuge about 3 miles west of me ... no caches allowed there ... and of course the Atlantic Ocean about 5 miles east of me

is that the nexus 4? if so that is what I have... here's what I had to do - download whereyougo and astro file manager from play store go to http://www.Wherigo.com on chrome and pick whatever cartridge you want to download (you'll need to log in with your geocaching trail name & password)- click download and choose pocket pc device and click download now now exit chrome and open astro file manager - click my files and then click download - find the file but don't click on it yet - first click on the little thing that looks like a notebook page at the top. then click on the file and then click on move - click on sdcard along the top row (at least that's where my whereyougo app is) and click on the whereyougo folder and then click paste exit and open the whereyougo app - click start and the cartridge should be there

This is how I make all of mine... When you list them it is like a multi or a puzzle in which you put the starting and ending coords right on the first page of the form. you can choose to have the ending coords hidden. I always put the same for starting and ending since I make all my LBHs with both real coords and clues that you can choose to follow if you wish.... so I do not know if my local reviewer would say I have to show the final coords... but I assume since the form forces you to put in 2 coords that this was allowable (or not just allowable - but the intent)

Can you be more specific, I'm not sure what you mean? That the coords for the final (or something that gives you an idea of where the final is) would be partially contained in each of the 4 images - and when you have stamped all 4 images in your book you will get a "complete picture"

what about making all 4 images add up to one?

On the android app which shall not be named if you solve a puzzle and correct the coords, either on the site or in the app, the icon moves to the correct spot and has a red flag on it (on the live map)

thank you!!

I have found an archived cache in the woods while searching for a letterbox, a stage of an archived multi on a nature trail while searching for a letterbox, and an old letterbox while searching for a different letterbox.... hmmm ... I'm sensing a theme here....

beautiful!

In WV I highly recommend caches by WVTim!! http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=b908447c-772f-4d5f-a53a-63ea06687126&wid=146f9b76-4efb-4535-b0ac-80808cbfb170&ds=2

can someone give me step by step instructions for putting PQs on a sd card for a dakota 20? thanks - I've done a search but SD and 20 don't show up in a search....

Thank you!!!!

if I care enough about a cache I didn't find I usually put it on my watchlist.... so I'd get an email regardless.
