  1. Try as some of you might, Geocaching is no longer an exclusive secretive word-of-mouth game for those that think it should only be told to people they deem "suitable". No, this has gone mainstream, and is being actively promoted as a legitimate activity by associations and councils in an effort to get families out of their houses, and exploring their local areas and beyond a lot more. My local council now holds one day courses on this as part of a summer activities program, and they have placed 3 of their own caches in a local forest with 2 proper caches also mapped out for course attendees. They have found that the kids love the mix of technology and the internet with an outdoor activity and they really love doing this. The one day course was what convinced me to get into it finally, although I already knew about it, but hadn't given it a go before. You will start to see a lot more press about this, and it will grow beyond Groundspeak and geocaching.com eventually, as there are already sites like opencaching.com running, and this activity can only get bigger.
  2. I also have this, just got one today after being introduced to geocaching through a local activities thing. It is currently running fw 1.05, and I cannot find how to switch the co-ordinates type.It is not mentioned in the manual anywhere, and I thinking that support for this was not fully implemented officially.
