Hi Martin&LindBryn,
I just tried it, and I'm able to do the print screen and then paste into Word, but I get the information at the top and side of the map. I tried to crop only the map out, but no luck.
I'll go back and play with it some more.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Wayne Miller
if you close the info at the side of the map and press F11 before you press print screen you will have a full screen map except for the geocaching banner across the top of the screen
if you don't want this then crop it out before you print
to crop the map in word, use the picture tool that is highlighted when you select the map in word
-
print screen is a useful button to use for this
I use it a lot
the button copys the screen shot which you can then paste (ctrl/v) into word and you have your map to print.
Ps pressing F11 before you use the print screen button maximises the amount of map you see

link to a reply from a police officer blackhorse221
with some good advice
I know that he is American but it is still good advice

As the brief this month was for unusual caches, I have chosen duncanhoyle bus stop GC1TK5D. as this is defiantly the most unusual cache.
Just have a read of the web page to see what I mean (especially the W.M.D. entry.
I will be adding this one to my to-do list if I ever get up there.
Congratulations to duncanhoyle and good luck next month

As I own a pub in north Wales and speak from experience. I have no objection to people parking their car in my car park as long as they ask permission to do so
I have many fishermen and walkers that do just that many of which do not use the pub at that time but may return one day for a meal etc,
What is annoying is people that think they can just abandon their car and go off and do whatever it is they are doing, without so much as asking.
I do get my revenge though, as I have a large 4x4 and can park it across the entrance to the car park, so they have to come in to get me to move it.
It's a tricky one. Some pubs aren't open in the morning when you turn up at 6.30 to start your walk; and I'm not convinced by the above that Martin would really like me to hammer on his door until he comes out, merely to ask if it's OK for me to stick my car in one of the hundred available spaces. If I return at 11.30 to find his 4x4 blocking me in, I may well be rather less inclined to take my lunch at his establishment and will probably drive on to somewhere else (once released by said grumpy landlord).
Because of such complications I tend to avoid pub car parks altogether when out walking or caching and would only recommend one if I was certain that the pub and all the staff are always going to be totally relaxed about potential customers using the facility. Not an easy thing to guarantee. There's usually a handy verge or layby near the start of the footpath, and this is usually the best spot to waypoint.
I agree that I would not appreciate you banging on my door at 6.30am. But you could push a note through the letter box, to let the pub owner now that the car is not just abandoned there, and you will return later in the day to retrieve it. And may even call in to have a drink and or meal
Just a bit of common courtesy goes a long way.

I have just run a PQ using your zip code 92629 and it returned 500 caches
all I had checked was the zip cod box with 92629 inthe box I then ran the PQ
with the above result.

Thank you

Sorry I hadn’t seen the new update.
I have just updated my version, and have now lost the ability to add the GC codes to the map.
When I click on the “i” then left clic on the map, I get a dialog box with the following options
52°57.675′N 003°22.595′W
Dec: 52.96125,-3.37658
List caches,
Images: Panoramio, Geograph,
Google Directions
Google Streetview,
Wikimapia, MAGIC,
Drop marker, Get height,
Measure route
There is now no option to add GC codes
I am using Firefox 18.0.2

I love the map enhancements and it saves so much time fiddling around with MemoryMap. I have just downloaded the latest version using chrome and Tampermonkey. However I still cannot get the option to show cache name labels when I click in the i. Is there something I am missing out?
Name labels are not available yet. But this feature has been asked for

I was looking through my photos to see if I had any suitable for this months competition when it struck me, is this theme really ok? surely we are showing spoilers by adding the GC code of the caches, some COs might not be happy about that?
Sorry not to have replied sooner to your post.
To clarified your concerns.
The competition is for photos that should already be printed on the cache page, so there should be no conflict with the issue of your photo being a spoiler.
If anything this may peak interest in the cache and encourage more visitors to try and grab find

The photo must be cache related and to do with a specific UK cache (any type including events), caching series or caching tripYou were on a caching trip, so that's fine whether you found it or not.I was just wondering - do you actually have to have logged a find on the corresponding cache? I know this sounds like a daft question but we did a series where the area that the cache was hidden was unusual... but we never found it! (We know it's there because the CO confirmed it was, but as the series was quite far from home we've never revisited it to have another go).As above the photo has to be UK cache related, you do not have to find the cache to make it count.

Thank you to Lydford Locators for picking my photo as the winning picture, although there wasn’t to much competition this month.
In the few year that I have been caching, I have found caches in some unusual places
The theme this month: Is caches in unusual places
GC39AZR
GC3HW03
To give you a bit more scope. This month, The photo can be from any cache that you have found, since you began caching
The rules are:
1) The photo must be cache related and to do with a specific UK cache (any type including events), caching series or caching trip - please include a link to the cache or the GC.... code so we can see where the picture relates to.
2) Maximum of two photos per caching team or cacher.
3) A new thread is started each month, with the OP stating these rules.
4) The winner each month is decided by the winner from the previous month - the new winner starting the thread for the subsequent month. They may set a theme if they wish.
5) Follow the theme

I was out caching around Chester yesterday and the only sign of new life was some daffodils just poking through the ground near the cache "Kwik-N-Eze Cheyney Road Park" GC290K4
-
I will replace wet or full logs and and then leave a note on the cache page for the cache owner.
asking that they contact me if they want the log sent back to them.
so far no one has asked for there log book back

came across this fence post with a small birds nest and eggs last year, while looking for "Old Connahs Quay to Buckley Line - Mold Road GC24E3D"
