  1. So far from what I've seen this app seems to work well. I threw in over 1000 caches and it handled it with no problem with out noticeable delays in loading caches to be displayed after the initial upload. I think this app is one of the best I've seen and differently deserves an install if your looking for a do it all app. One thing I don't think I've ever seen yet is........... an app that will open the topo for the selected cache, I think that would be sweet.
  2. Mike & Kate I would agree with that. If I have a travel bug on me that I could swap it out with I will but if I don't ... like you said its goal is to travel and if I can help it along its journey than I will take it and move it along.
  3. I was wondering if anyone knew how to pull in your stats and apply them using the Google API. I want to be able to display these on my webpage. I already have one there but it is because I am manually entering the cords. Any help would be appreciated it. Thanks Naoc
  4. Why? Your the reason I think GC should have a different MO cache that is more elite. Sure I like to find all caches, MO or not but it is nice to know when you go to a MO caches you would hopefully get better items. I put a compass and first aid kit and flashlights and stuff you would like to have out on the trail. It's getting old finding a cache that has been littered with happy meal toys and 23 cents someone had in their pocket. I think of it as a treasure hunt, I like the idea of getting cool items when i finally find it. Why should I pay for my membership and just let you log it on mine or some archived cache (which is totally jacked up by the way)? You are correct when you say premium members do this as well, but the hope is when anyone finds something they place something of equal value or more in the cache. It makes finding them even more special. I wasnt trying to stereotype you either, rather just trying to show an example of what most people tend to do. I'm sorry though, logging a cache in a archived cache period just for a number is a little on the lame end of things. Seriously, to me that just seems wrong. So you want to alter the history of the cache even if someone legitemately finds the cache? Would you go and scratch my name off of the paper logbook also? Maybe from here on out I'll just find caches, not log them, and not give the owners of the cache the privelage of reading of the adventures... legitemately is the key word here.....you didnt find it legitemately, you found it because someone your with had the cords or by some other means. I would not scratch your name off the log book but like i said I would make sure you wouldnt get credit for finding on GC.com. If you get enjoyment from adding it to your stats by some other round about way...... well thats up to you.

Why should I pay for my membership and just let you log it on mine or some archived cache (which is totally jacked up by the way)? Like nudlez said they don't put them on their to make a bunch of elitist they put it on their for you to help support them and the website. I highly doubt paying a DB administrator and web designer is exactly cheap and you could support the people that offer this service to you whether or not you use the paperless caches or don’t have that many MO caches in your area. If it doesn’t become somewhat commercialized it would be a crappy site with no features what so ever and they could have just put a page with a bunch of coordinates of caches on them. MO caches in my eyes should be of a better caliber, because the people placing them should know that the people finding them will do the cache right and place something worth while or take nothing at all. Regular caches are great but how many times have they been raped off their contents and it just totally ruined it for the next one to find it. ie coins & TB that were suppose to be there but are not. Most of the caches are eventually found by someone that only picks up a couple caches leaves hardly anything that is worth anything and quits. Just like the people that pay good money for coins and TB's (which are more than the monthly cost of a membership) they are robbed of the enjoyment of seeing their TB or Coin travel. Its the same crap result and just like what your doing belittles the sport. I hope you reconsider what you are doing and try to make the sport more enjoyable for everyone in all aspects. Me personally.....I will remove anyone that logs my cache (loop hole or not) that is not a premium member from my MO caches.
  6. Just for clarification it is my subscriber cache and his non subscriber cache. I've already decided not to do it. Thanks for the thoughts
  7. I was contacted by a non premium member about giving him the location of one of my subscriber caches in trade for a normal cache I could not find (but I had looked for it once.) Do you this should be done? I don't think so but just wanted to get some opinions. Thanks, Naoc
  8. I would really like to see this done. Can you provide more details.
  9. I seen a post a while back about someone using their PSP to view pages from GC.com. Can someone point me to that post or tell me how they are using their PSP to go paperless? Thanks naoc
  10. Thanks Jeremy for the information and help.
  11. http://store.Groundspeak.com/ProductInfo.a...uctid=GSPANNUAL I purchased a 1 year premium membership on Friday My credit card statements shows the money was recieved Friday but still no change in my membership. How long is it suppose to take before its upgraded? The site said normally one day. If I knew it would have been this long I would have done it through Paypal. Any ideas?
  12. Oh and put those iPod's you have in the background into the ammo can and label them FTF> Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I have decided to put a 1 Euro penny inside from Germany. Maybe a coin collector will like it. Oh and the ipods I dont think I could part with them but I will be putting the blue one for sale on the e website in the near future.
  13. I will be hiding my first cache here in southern Minnesota and I am wondering what to put in it. I bought 2 of the micro cache containers from ground speak and they are really cool but after adding a log it doesnt leave alot of room. Any ideas? [
  14. Hi I am new here and have been geocaching now for about 2 weeks. I wanted to make a custom map of the caches I found with google maps. Can you tell me what you think? If this is in the wrong spot please move it and sorry. Thanks, naoc My Geo
