  1. Quick question for any Reviewer watching this: Is it possible to lock the challenge cache requirements to prevent cache owners from changing the requirements after a challeng cache is posted. We had the problem in my area where a CO changed the challenge requirements after publication to prevent someone from qualifing. Thanks in advance.
  2. Never mind I found my owners manuel and it told me how to calibrate. Thanks in advance gojoey
  3. Does anyone know a way to recalibrate a touch screen on an Oregon 450? When I go into the screen that lets me change name of a waypoint or just to type in information on a where I go page That touch screen does not work around the edges only in the center charecters. And they seem to be a little off (ex I have to tap slightly above the letter to get it to print. Thanks in advance gojoey
  4. I just bought :North America 2014 Maps Garmin City Navigator 2014.10 MicroSD/SD Card at e-bay and when I put it in my Oregon 450 nothing happens. any ideas? Thanks Joe (GoJoey)
  5. A question to the community regarding event caches. Individual cachers are held to several rules. An event cannot be listed for the sole reason to find geocaches. An Event has to be a gathering of geocachers. My question refers to GC4Q9VN “Caching day at the Arboretum” The listed co-ordinates are in the middle of the woods and there is no gathering of Cachers there. The cache page states that a log book is located in a building over a ¼ mile away and that can be signed any time during the day. The reason for the event is for cachers to come and find new caches that will be published on the day of the event. My question is 1-Where is the event 2-How does this meet Groundspeaks Guidelines?
  6. Thanks for the help I was able to retrieve my activation code. Is this a generic site that directs you to the manufacterer? If so ill keep it for reference. Thanks again for the help. GoJoey
  7. I was given a GI Joe Travel Bug (Standing Solder Holding an ammo can in Right Hand and a GPS in the Left Hand) unfortunatly the card that told which website to go to to get the activation code was not with it. Logging the tb says it is not activated. Has anyone owned one of these and remember the company that made it. Thanks. GoJoey
  8. Anyone know a way to recalibrate co-ordinates. I cked with garmin website and it said I had latest updates. I cant find a recalibrate button. Mine seems to always be about 30feet off and its getting agrivating everytime I put out a new cache. Thanks in advance. Re. Garmin Etrex Legend Cx
  9. Does anyone know where I can find a dark blue or black sweatshirt (no zipper, no hood) with a full color geocaching logo on the left chest? I checked Groundspeak store and ALL the distributor stores. thanks gojoey a cache a day keeps the blues away
  10. Looking for help finding activation code for USA Geocoin 2006 (Gold colored with eagles head and US Flag on it) Thanks Joe
  11. A couple of years ago I ruined my 1st Palm Tungsten E by cracking the screen while caching. I bought another Palm on ebay and all was fine for a year or more. Then the battery quit accepting a charge so Im a paper cacher again. I found batteries on ebay for less than $10.00 BUT !!!!!!!! I tried to remove the battery from the ruint Palm and it was like peeling paper off of a label. Does anyone know who or where I can get the battery replaced. Im lost without my Palm. Im in Asheville/Arden NC area. Thanks in advance for helpful replies
  12. Trimble Navigator works with VERIZON BLACKBERRY STORM.
  13. My friend Thurmdog has one its the one we cached with when I visited in San Diego last month. The cache pages were real good and the GPS was right on we used his storm and also my E-trex legend Cx and we got to the caches with both. Like I said in an earlier post the only thing I didnt like was the inability to look at a map and see all nearby caches like you can on an I-phone. You can contact Thurmdog for further description and or help. http://www.geocaching.com/profile/Default....17-bd61a9416821 Thanks Joe

  15. Check out Trimble navigator for Blackberry. A friend of mine in San Diego has it and we cached all over Fiesta Island with it and it was right on the spot each time and the cache description was excelent. The only thing I didnt like was there was no map showoing all nearby caches as there is on Iphone. Just my 2pennies worth.
  16. Hi way out west.... I just posted a cache in co-operation with Thurmdog called (I have a friend in San Diego) It requires a North Carolina Cacher to seek help from a San Diego Cacher to find the co-ordinates to a multi so If you see a post of someone looking for help it will be about GC1WD48 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...0c-def00f5f1596 Thanks GoJoey&Bookworm1 corrected the link it is now good and cache has been posted

  18. Hi GoJoey from Asheville NC. I was in San Diego the last 2 weeks and cached with my friend Thurmdog. I also visited friends and family. I found a lot of your caches and they were both interesting and fun. Thanks for placing all of these caches. If youre ever in Western North Carolina just give me a shout thru GC.com and Ill try to get away and cache with you.
  19. Hi. Im GoJoey from Asheville NC I just spent the last 2 weeks in San Diego visiting friends and relatives. While I was there I spent a lot of time caching with my friend Thurmdog and he finally passed 200finds. I just want to thank you all for the great ammount of caches in the area. Some were great and some were challanging. Should any of you come to western North Carolina give me a shout thru GC.com and Ill try to get together and do some caching back here. Again Thank you very much.....
  20. Thanks for the replys. I didnt know that there were adaptor cables out there.
  21. I still have my old Garmin E-Trex that I purchased in 2002 when I started caching. My question is : That GPS has a Serial cable and my PC only has USB conncections. Is there a cable that can be purchased to fit the old yellow Garmin so that I can download waypoints. Any response will be appreciated.
