Clipper.

I started using my iPhone 3g with the official app, and didn't have too many problems, until I went to find a cache that was in a wooded area. I eventually found it, came home, and ordered an Etrex H straight away. Once my money situation gets better, I would love to buy a dedicated GPSr that combines the paperless features of the iPhone with the accuracy of the Extrex H. The mapping on the iPhone can be off sometimes, but using common sense, I usually do OK, but the battery is awful. With the Etrex H, I seem to get to GZ a lot quicker, and if I am going anywhere near trees, the iPhone stays in my pocket. My only problem with the Etrex H is sitting down before I go caching and inputting all the co-ordinates by hand, then having to write down hints and other useful info before setting off.

You can use it exactly like a bug - set a mission for it, and let it go. I have seen several coins in a clear plastic sleeve with the mission details on it, that might be an idea, as a lot of people can't look at it's mission in the field and may end up taking it the wrong way. Regarding its chances - they do go missing, there is no way of knowing until it's on its way! I might be able to give it a hand getting to the UK if you want, as I am going to Windermere near Orlando next week and will be visiting a buddy of mine in Clearwater before we head back to the UK 2 weeks later.

I had the same problem as well on my iPhone 3. Tried logging out and back in (but hadn't waited an hour after upgrading) - deleted the app and re-installed and it came straight up with the extras.

Hope this is the right link for others to add me - have added everyone else in this thread so far I think. https://plus.google.com/109507360283668962481/posts

And a congratulations to me - 50th find yesterday, all with an Iphone 3, then 51st today with Iphone 3 providing the information, and the brand new Etrex H providing the directions to my first multi

Hi all, As someone very new to this hobby but enjoying it immensely, I am going to the US later this year, and fancy doing a bit of hunting while I am there. I use the official app on my Iphone 3G at the moment, but am concerned about the potential data roaming costs. Can I use the Iphone over there without connecting to the internet through 3g? (Where I am staying does have WiFi) Or, am I better off buying a handheld GPS for use over there, and leaving the phone at home?
