I think I have worked this out.....I hope

Awesome photos!! It makes me want to get out and see the country. What a brilliant advert for the UK and geocaching. Thanks for sharing Not sure how to add photos otherwise I would load some of mine

Google earth didn't work for me ...maybe I was doing something wrong. Instead a bit the bullet and went for firefox. So far it is easy quicker and simple to use but most of all the maps work so now we can go geocaching again as the map problem stopped us caching for a good month because I just hated the problems and the parsing so much. So thanks for the tip

I am also having problems with the maps. I used to use them to find all the caches in an area for our caching trips especially as we don't know the area near where we live at all. It was really useful. Now it is not worth it. We have dropped back on our caching trips because of it. I don't have the time to spend 3 hours planning a trip for just a 2 hour walk with maybe 5 caches. Having them in a list is not useful for me as I like to use the maps to see where the roads are in relation to the caches. Please Please Please fix this problem Also is anyone disliking the TB's maps I much prefer the whole world look to see where they have been rather than scrolling through for hours the tiny useless map

I am having the same problem and it is really bugging me. I have no solution so would love to hear one

A recent cache we did called "snails bottom" gave a new meaning to the term. It was a fairly long & tricky walk in because we lost the path - encountered swamp, shoulder high grass & heather...but on the way out things got worse. We ended up following a footpath sign into a field with about a dozen young cows/bulls - didn't get a chance to check. The, lets say aggressive cows, came vigourously "cantoring" toward us from the other end of the field shoving each other like teenagers as they approached. With no chance of returning over the style (they'd cut us off) we more or less froze and waited to see what they would do. Fortunately they stopped just short of us and decided that we were tasty salt licks - I didn't know a cows tongue was that rough! They encircled the 3 of us including our rather unnerved 6 year old boy, and stood round nudging each other. Eventually we managed to back out of the circle and slowly move toward the closest boundary which fortunately was a barbed wire fence and not a thick hedge like the rest of the field - there was no way they would let us continue toward either style - especially as one had their water trough right next to it. Having put about 20m between us and the cows we thought we could turn and step up the pace. Afraid not - maybe the red shirt I was wearing had something to do with it - one came bounding toward us much like a rodeo bull stopping about 1m short with head & all too large horns tossing the air. Needless to say the next 20m to the boundary and safety were slow and with a firm stare at the animal. From here on we stuck to the farm road that lead out of there! No more cows for us!

Hi We are currently using Tom Tom Nav 5 on a PDA sucessfully in the Uk to go geocaching. (Especially around cities). In the coming weeks we are planning a trip to Jersey and a later trip Ireland. Neither appear to be covered by Tom Tom. Any suggestions as I have to get my geocaching fix while there! Thanks for any help
