    Help Dont Know How To Use Gps

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted · Edited by icefall5

     

    I know you were being tongue-in-cheek but seriously, I kind of almost did that with my old (now other and most used for the car) GPS, the now-discontinued Whistler Galileo. One major flaw this unit has (that my new Lowrance IFinder GO and most other more conventional handheld GPS's do not have) is that it stopped showing your distance to the waypoint after 0.1 miles, that is, it doesn't convert to feet and show lower and lower numbers. ...

     

    I sure as heck hope you're not talking about the 200 doing this. This is totally not true. It goes all the way down to 2 feet! :)

     

    EDIT- Forgot to add emotes. :laughing:

    Virtual Caches

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    Is it okay to take credit for virtual caches you found before your geocaching "career" began if you can remember the information required? There are a number of places I visited with virtuals before I started geocaching and I can remember the info for them.

    IS "how to change your atavar" in a FAQ somewhere?<BR><BR>if its not, id like to suggest it be considered for addition the next time its updated.<BR><BR><A HREF="http://brillig.com/geocaching/" TARGET=_blank><IMG SRC="http://brillig.com/geocaching/images/waypoint_link.gif"> </A><IMG SRC="http://img.Groundspeak.com/user/22008_1700.gif"> <A HREF="http://www.gpgeocaching.com/" TARGET=_blank><IMG SRC="http://www.gpgeocaching.com/UserDocs/discuss/37_gp_logo88x31.jpg"> </A>

     

    How about we make efforts to keep this thread on top and also use it for further tests. That would help solve the problem of having new test threads pop up every few days!<BR><BR>I'm pretty sure that I started a new test thread when I first encountered the "log out then log back in" problem!<BR><BR><IMG SRC="http://outbreakcorp.hypermart.net/animation/pokemon/pokeanim3.gif">

     

    so does anyone know how to stop the "system" from croping off the edge of a atavar?<BR><BR><A HREF="http://brillig.com/geocaching/" TARGET=_blank><IMG SRC="http://brillig.com/geocaching/images/waypoint_link.gif"> </A><IMG SRC="http://img.Groundspeak.com/user/22008_1700.gif"> <A HREF="http://www.gpgeocaching.com/" TARGET=_blank><IMG SRC="http://www.gpgeocaching.com/UserDocs/discuss/37_gp_logo88x31.jpg"> </A>

     

    I didn't realize it cropped... I thought it just resized to a width of 75 pixels. Which, of course, has always made me want to make an avatar that is like 75 pixels wide by 1000 pixels tall. icon_biggrin.gif<!--graemlin::)--><BR><BR>But yeah, I agree... the more time you've spent in the forums, the more you glare and grit your teeth when you see ANOTHER test thread start.

    I actually own a 200, so I can help you. You just hit MARK, then when the screen pops up, highlight the coords. Press the rocker keypad straight in (like select) and one individual number will be selected. Put in the coords for the cache pushing the rocker keypad upd and down to select the number and left and right to select the digit to modify. When you're done, modify the name by selecting that and using the on-screen keyboard to type. Keep in mind that you can only have an 8 digit name. Then scroll down and hit Save. When you drive over and get reasonably close to the cache, press GOTO and select that cache off the list that comes up. Follow the line until the GPSr says about 5 feet away, then ignore the GPS and start looking. If you have any questions, you can e-mail me or PM me. Good luck!

     

    It's so hard to type while listening to music! <_<

    What Do I Do...

    in How do I...?

    I think this is kind of a stretch here, but it's been several weeks now (as mentioned before) since I contacted my reviewer with no reply. I'm not quite familiar with the normal sequence of events, so please don't view me as impatient for asking this, but would a different reviewer be able to allow me to adopt it if I presented a good enough "argument"?

    Well...... I know what all of you are going to say to this, but it's really not that hard. *Murmurs in the background of "What are you talking about? There's so many buttons.... And.... Yeah!"*

    This is a picture of the General Configuration screen. Not that hard to understand.

    It's a lot to do, but it's not that hard.

    P.S. I can also type HTML! ;)

    Holy cow what was I doing when I was 13. My my how times have changed and so very articulate, I could barely tie my shoes when I was 13.

     

    My hat goes off to you (I guess). The “off-topic” boards as well as TONS of other behind the door magic that goes on have peaked my curiosity but not enough for me to ask here.

     

    13 – man-O-man, you should be out playing football or something other than worrying about software.

    Or girls...mmmm girls...at 13 I don't think I had much more on my mind...37 years later...hmmm wimmen!

     

    I don't do football. I think (probably much to your dismay) that football is an amazingly stupid sport. I am on the swim team and I do water polo.

     

    With the girls part of that... I won't elaborate :lol:

     

    Technology (computers, mainly) is my life. If my computer broke or the hard drive fried or something, I would literally start crying. I could not possibly live without my computer. I don't see how you adults could live without them.

    I was just wondering how they keep the OT forum just to members. I know they put all the premium members in their own group, but they can't hide that forum completely from non-premiums. I know this because I have my own forum just like this one. I know they could just deny our access to it, but how do they hide it?

    Your profile says you are 12 years old (it also says you are a moderator here?). How did a 12yr old afford an expensive piece of commercial software like this board is running?

     

    Its not really that expensive to run this board: Invision Power Board

     

    $185.00 for software license seems to be about it.

    Many 12 year olds are pretty enterprising. . ..

    Sure you can. It's an option for the board.

    I don't have my own expensive software, it's called InvisionFree. And by the way, it's free, not $185. I had thought you couldn't hide topics like that, but I just went fiddling with the Admin CP and you can. Surprising to me. If any of you were wondering, the board is Hogsheade School.

     

    Oh, and also- I'm not a mod here, I just put the picture there. :lol:

    If you are using Firefox, you can go here for a greasemonkey script that shows how many you have left. If you don't have greasmonkey installed, go here.

     

    If you odon't have Firefox, I just have one word for you. What century are you living in??????????

    Oh... wait..... That's... one... two... three.... four..... six!

    Wait... I meant five!

    Pretty lame "comedy," huh?

    P.S. Go here to get Firefox.
