the*B*team

A mohawk would help with the theme too. omg - how funny,I did the same thing! I picked "the*B*team" because its the first initial of our last name, and because we aren't as good as the A team! 'the B team - let us lead you on your next mis-adventure!' and I've had plenty of 'mis-adventures'!

I'm only notified of a new cache when I recieve Groundspeak's newsletter in my email once a week. I read how other cachers get a 'ding' as notification when a new cache is published. Where does that 'ding' come from? I use neongeo (which not all cache's show up), does the ding come from Groundspeak's official app? I know its a dumb question, but I honestly can't figure it out!

To be honest, I do have neon geo, and c:geo, and use live maps on both all the time; and I do not know what type of data it uses to do that, nor did I know it ate up, what are they called, kilobytes? Now I'm afraid to use it! lol, guess I have to shell out the money for a gps!

I truly hope so.

I wholeheartedly agree!!

I've heard c:geo violates groundspeaks tos. I don't want to use it just for that reason, I have my eye on geomate gps, and I intend to use that, and someone mentioned neongeo (?) which I've been using. I haven't been able to get out and about looking for caches because work keeps getting in the way , but hopefully can get out on my days off this week.

Thanks for the help, I'm really starting to get a feel for how this is done.

thanks for the response, I'm starting to get a handle on what I should be using - can't believe how addicted I am, and that I resent the fact that I have to go to work! lol

I did break down and buy neongeo - We'll see how it goes! Thanks for the reply....

thanks for the info - me and technology are like electricity and water - not the best combination! lol

thanks for the reply, I'm just trying to get a feel for the technical aspects of this game - my kids are a little older, and they think I'm a dork for doing this! I'm still trying to get them interested...but teenagers are a different species altogether! (I was at raf alconbury from '90-'92, would've loved it if this was around then, and was able to log a few overseas caches!)

still a newbie here, still unsure if I want to spend $30 for membership and another $5-$10 for an app for my android powered phone. What has been your experience using a stand alone gps device, and an app? (I keep thinking this money can be used for the kids, the pets, groceries, etc! always the mom!) But so far I'm having a blast, and love the actual hunt for the cache, and the find is definitely the climax - the nano second after finding the cache, there's the letdown, and the need to be on to the next one! I just wish I had more time to devote to the game, rather than do housework, and go to work. lol thanks for listening!
