I knew that this crew would know how to solve this issue. One follow up question though... when it finally "sees" Japan, does that solve the searching problem, or should I expect that 15 minute lag each time I boot up? Thanks! av

Hey everyone! I am in Japan on business and have been here two weeks and cannot get my GPS to pick up satellites. I would love to meet some other cahers in the area and either chat or go caching. I know it is short notice, and I leave Sunday morning, but if that works with you... email me! I am staying around Shiodome and working around Tamachi, but very comfortable getting around on the metro. Let me know if you are interested! Annie

I am in the same boat: visiting Japan from California and my ancient Garmin GPS III Plus is not getting anything.　Ｔｈｅ　ｂａｓｅｍａｐｓ　ａｒｅ　ｏｕｔｄａｔｅｄ but I have never had such a hard time with satellites in the states. Any suggestions for us?

TeamSparky really enjoys urban caches, but often ends up in a park or in the suburbs due to a skimpy cache description. We suggest adding a location classification option to the cache page, much like the cache size classification (micro cache, normal cache, etc.). Our suggestions would be: -urban cache (literally, like in a city... with concrete or in a building) -suburban cache (a park, cemetary, etc.) -wilderness cache (off or near a trail, in the mountains, etc. - something involving getting out of town). Thanks! TeamSparky
