Having set a simple square zone I now want to edit it into a particular shape aligned to roads on a map.
When I go to the edit online option it shows an error box with internet explorer script error in line 211 character 3 and when the map does come up it is for 1600 Amphitheatre Pky, Mountain View, CA.
For previous cartridges I have used this function okay but not anymore.
Any ideas?
Second question, when I upload a new version of a cartridge to the site how can I edit the notes to explain the changes?

Is Earwigo likely to be open for general release soon?

If someone has the source code, they can compile it and run it in the Emulator. However, if they have the source code they can just read the code to figure out what to do.
The cartridge that you download from Wherigo.com is already compiled although a large portion of the text is still visible if you open it with a text editor.
To prevent someone from playing the cartridge in the Emulator, you can do a device ID test for the Emulator and disable the zones/cartridge if it is being played in the Emulator.
To prevent someone from reading too much in a text editor, you can put messages such as coordinates or puzzle questions/answers in a jpg picture and display the picture.
Hope this answers your question.
JPEG Extractor will strip out all JPEGS from a cartridge and display them on a desktop, including all hidden data put on in photoshop or similar, hence not a secure method of hiding data.

Interesting, have you had a look at others surrounding your caches, is it the area that is vulnerable or is it a particular Fuchsia sp./var. issue??
-
Mesmerised Meerkat TB196FW is actually one of mine but just look at the map to see where it's been!
Taran the Tarantula TB2ATHN is the best one I've moved on.
great Meerkat travel, shame there are no photos of the super locations, bit of a common theme when photos are asked for.
-
Bugger, can't make it and I've been wanting to get this one for simply ages.
Have a great time and post some photos if you survive.

No, yes and yes (where is the list of laminated useless "I visited this cache" calling cards?) No, really, what are they all about? Does anyone read them, do the owners keep them, are they of any use at all?

just had another one pop up on my Cheddar Gorge Earthcache. Already deleted a log by the finder once and they have just reposted with a changed date, now of the 23rd November 2008. I will delete it once more shortly.
I see they also logged the nearby Traditional cache .... maybe they were in Cheddar. I haven't done that cache yet - so maybe I should go for a walk at the weekend to find it and read the log book?
PS - I was expecting an email from you tonight
No, I'm not speaking to you for tempting me into starting down that particular Icarus cache route and melting my head!
If you do get the chance to check the log of the other Cheddar cache that would be helpful, just in case Latvia came to the gorge for the two caches, it may be English isn't particularly well understood hence the details missing from the earthcache log requirements.

This thread promted me to review a couple of Earthcaches of mine and I have to admit to a rather tardy review process previously and have deleted a number of logs without the required photographs. Happy to reinstate any genuine visits as this probably indicates poor housekeeping on my part more than any cheating.

Has anyone tried the OS maps on an Oregon yet? If so could we have a report?
-
Hi im single and looking for a girl who likes geocaching....the last one got as far as the edge of the wood before she complained it was cold wet and muddy.....
...well what do you expect if it was cold, wet and muddy, try a quick rinse and some talc next time

i'd rather find a Blorenge Orange, shame they haven't got an icon, what about a Blorenge Orange coin?
-
There will be a full programme of events, and the intention is that they will appear with plenty of notice
That's good, might just give people enough time to complete the Uphill Wherigo

The 60CSx has been the most accurate GPSR for some time. (In my view) neither the Colorado or the Oregon were close to it but I have to say that the Oregon with 2.60 is now on a par. I got rid of my Colorado as it was really poor, went back to the 60 but am now back to the Oregon and it is the best bit of kit for caching on the market at present.
Buy one with confidence!

Just checking out Memory Map website and prices. Whole of the Nat Parks at 1:50K is £30. At 1:25K each is £100. Whole country at 1:50K is £200. Prices at retailers would be less than this so Garmin's prices are really expensive - OK, so you get the road atlas scale but that's not a lot of use for country walking!

Yep sweet smell of rip off permeates from this post. the whole of the natonal parks at 1:500000 is not a bad price and may give it a try however we all know 1:25000 is the premier mapping but £30 compared to £1900? Please get a life. We should see the price drop down if everyone sticks to their guns and ignores their kind offer.

Crikey pushing a pin into a tree in a wood is really upsetting to me too.
I can understand that, in fact I was a bit disturbed by someone placing a micro under a large flat stone recently, (what about the resident wood lice underneath it?) let alone the cacher who drilled a hole into a fence post to hide a cache (when is wood REALLY dead and therefore cannot feel pain, who knows?) and the final straw was when I actually found a cache in an arboretum and the darn caretakers of the collection had themselves hammered a big nail and identifying tag into ever single one of the four thousand trees. Luckily enough they seem to have survived the last 3 centuries despite this torture and inevitable seeping sap...thank goodness for that.
-
Oh deepest of joy, I can guarantee the local cachers will be making an effort to place a number of caches for our visitors.
-
Can I just thank Binbags for answering a plea for a coin, very pleased to announce that they have shared a coin and demonstrated a very kind streak.

that bike seat has made a strange coloured mark on her bum, and her pants don't fit, I don't think that is so attractive goldpot, I've seen nicer women in Regents Park, and that's saying something.
-
fingers crossed it is 1:50000 of the whole of the UK and not as on the Garmin site. May be tempted with the 1:25000 national parks for dartmoor and the cotswolds if it isn't.
-
Without a doubt it is the best GPSR I have owned. The ONLY thing that is missing for me is the ability to average a waypoint.
No need for a 400, the 300 does it all if you have uk TOPO to upload.

There are (were) quite a few differences when I was a letterboxer, including deeply buried boxes (Cut Hill a speciality), lots and lots of 'word of mouth' boxes, some which haven't ever been found, and no rules about density, more skill in the 'cutting' of stamps, and a more interesting (gulp) history of letterboxing to name but a few.
What they do have in common is a great deal of fun and both compliment each other. I hope both live long and prosper.
I managed 3000 letterboxes and hope to pass this one day with caches.
Zone edit online (and version update notes)

Thanks for the responses, the zone creator is just what I needed.
I have previously added some notes to the releases but can't remember how to, the function may have been removed I suppose.
I am grateful for the help
