  1. We have noticed recently (becoming more and more common) that cachers are posting the tracking number of TBs and GCs in their online logs. Why is that? We understood that one should not post that number (nor post a photo showing that number), right from our geocaching startup. Is it that they can't, don't or won't read the guidelines? :)

     

    Lots of <moderator edit> people out there.

  2.  

    Just out of interest, how long do you think I should wait before sending out a replacement?

     

    I would just buy a new one and let the other one die. It could be a pain if you send a replacement out then the original shows up. I have had TB's show up after years of MIA. I have one that was picked up Dec, 03 and have been in contact with them once in a great while, and it just a chore to get them out the door to place it.

     

    Oh well, good luck!

  3. Ok kiddies.

     

    I have had a cache in the Bahamas, Nassau's First Cache GCC40D Hidden: 1/13/2003

    Someone claims to have been there and DNF it. One minute later post a SBA cause of multi DNFs.

    6 minutes later it was archived.

     

    Don't get any faster than that!

     

    This cache has been replace a few times while cachers have been on vacation.

     

    Yeah.........it was placed before vacation caches were banned, my bad. But at least people have something to do there

  4. My Crapper TB was picked up in Ohio 7/11/2007 with a goal to go to Minnesota. It sat for almost 2 years and was dropped off in Hawaii. Wow......................

     

    I thought your TB was dead. Then I see that it went to Hawaii?! Y'know, if it is in someone's possession for almost two years, I would expect them to figure out where it is supposed to go.

     

    Don't even get me started :o Atleast it's back..............

  5. (and possibly steal my code :D

     

    Do you have a code you could sell Garmin that works?

    haha ... well, yes, i do, but.

    a) i can't yet guarantee that it works always for all cartridges

    :D it's Java Micro Edition, so they would have to either rewrite it to C (or whatever language they use) or put a Midlet Manager on the device

    c) it's GPL, so they can as well take it and use it for free (and if they want to do it, i'm definitely not going to try and stop them - as long as they honor the terms and release the sources again)

    and finally d) i still can't be sure that there isn't some Groundspeak's IP involved. As in, i hold all rights to my code, so i can allow Garmin to use it under non-GPL license (effectively selling it), but then Groundspeak might come in and sue the hell out of us all.

    ...or not. i'm not a lawyer and i can't be sure.

     

    so there.

    why, do you think Garmin's looking for a working code to use? :e)

     

    I have no idea what Garmin is doing. I have a Garmin Colorado and kind of gave up on the wherigos. I thought Wherigo were supposed to be fun and not a pain to get through. Maybe some day they will get it working for all the cartridges?

  6. I have a Colorado and would rather cache with that. I have found a few caches with the iphone but it seems like the iphone is a pain.

     

    Even with a Magellan it was better than an iphone.

     

    And the Colorados battery life is alot better.
