  1. Okay can anybody help with this one? We love doing the caches along a route, (especially now since 1frenchgirl lives in Salinas and the other frenchgirl is living part time in Sacramento). But here's the problem, when we go to google earth and establish the route, it doesn't give us the route we want to take. Usually we're caching on routes we know well and know shortcuts, better roads with less traffic, etc. but we can't figure out how to get google earth to give us an alternate route. I know that if you go to google maps, you can drag the route to a road you want it to be on, but I don't know if there is a way to get that info from google maps to google earth. Anybody have any ideas?
  2. My partner and I are thinking about organizing a geocaching rally in California, would anyone be interested? We're thinking of setting it up like a traditional rally, you have to be certain places at certain times and add picking up a certain number of caches along the way. Sound like something folks would want to participate in?
  3. I'm using GPX sonar, I've found "field notes" but can't seem to enter any information. When I go to field notes I get a window with "found, not found, notes, archive" and check boxes. then After the Report and a check box with "delete sellected notes" I usually check "found" , "notes" and "archive". It goes to a screen with the heading"field notes report" and there seems to be no way to enter information here. I've tried the keyboard and transcriber, but nothing shows up. And, I don't know how to find the field notes reports after I get home.
  4. I've just started using pocket queries and gsak, slowly figuring everything out. My one major problem now is, once I have the files in my pocket pc, i can view them but can't seem to enter field notes. It's great having all the info in the field, but if I do more than 5 or 6 caches in a day, I can't remember what I did, left, etc. How do I enter field notes? Or is there some other way to add notes to the cache info in the field so I can remember finds, left, took etc? I havn't been using pocket mobile reader, is this a better solution?
  5. We picked up a EU geocoin with refrence # TBNWPK today, plan to drop it off in a different city next Saturday, but when we try to enter the tracking number it says it's wrong! We're using the number stamped on the coin, so can't see how it can be wrong. We have the coin in hand, so it's not like we wrote it down wrong. We're not using the TBN number, but a EU number stamped on the coin. can anyone help us log it and grab it?
  6. We want to get started and will go paperless with a ipaq. Is the bluetooth GPS by HP a good deal? Or should we buy a seperate gps unit? Is there someone else out there making units for pda's? Will it burn up batteries? and is it too much hassle to go back and forth between the gps function on the pda and other cache info?
