I think it would only HELP Groundspeak, as it seems the perception of GS lately seems to be (at least in what I see) that they are a bit of a "bully" when there's absolutely no reason for them to be. Dudley hit it on the head in his last post.

Soft Coordinates, Micro, Parking Lot. I must say that cache has it all.

Every time I read something like this is get the urge for the Kenaz submeter unit for my Nautiz X7. It´s about 1200 USD, 2/3 of the cost for the Nautiz PDA... Looks like you need two... a base station and a rover? Either that or a base unit and Post Processing.

lol

Well, for the funnest caches I find, I am looking for big flat rocks stacked a little strangely on mountaintops.

Heck, I still use my Magellan ColorTrak and it gets spot-on coverage. Of course it doesn't have the fancy maps and such that all of the newer units have. I do get a kick out of all of the "Magellan bashing" here on the the forums though. Some people's children...

Well, that was pretty anticlimactic.

Still waiting..... lol

You beat me to it. She comes across with a bigoted attitude with her use of "textiles"....

What in the world does that have to do with Geocaching.com? What would give you the right to remove something out in the world just because it is not allowed at Geocaching.com? If you are concerned with it, contact the owners of the other web site that it is listed on.

Exactly. That and if you are dropping a TB off into one that you've already found, you can leave the NM log if needed and it doesn't count as a find.

Yeah, but that one's been found before.

I've still not located a green jeep and now red ones are out. The red ones look a bit like my jeep minus the peeling paint, broken heater and broken door locks. Here's an unfound green jeep: Gem & Estelle

That's what I was thinking.... Magellan users can have this issue. Even with the right datum. ??? My Magellan works as well as my dad's 60CX (we've tested).... What issue? See my post above. If you let your magellan settle (I've see this issue with the sport tracks. Newer ones may not have the 'issue'.)You won't see a problem. It's not so much a problem as it is how the GPSs work differently. Ah. The "averaging" function perhaps. I still use my ColorTrak and find that it does fine for me, but I've been using it since they first were introduced - the "first 3-color GPS unit"... lol

I just did this - when you (the original poster) do it, log in as your old User Name and do all of your caches and TB's, then log in as your new one to accept them.

Looked up to see a Grizzly Bear 50 yards up the hill from me nonchalantly walking up a steep incline, he looked back at me and disappeared. I still set the cache (after walking pretty near where I last saw him), but no one's found it yet...

Theat should help eliminate the 'Toss out a film cannister that lands somewhere near the ammo can you cannot find" log.

Maybe GC.com needs a new Log type: "Phantom find", where you are "pretty darn sure that you are where the cache 'should be', and by gosh, I went to the trouble, so it's a find".

That's pretty cool. Did you get your request for a red jeep in on time? Nope - not that it would do any good - cant see them sending a red Jeep to Scotland - Ah. You could always have someone in the states get one and send it to you....

That's pretty cool. Did you get your request for a red jeep in on time?

Nalgene bottles work great:

No one's even bothered to get my green Jeep and it remains unfound...I guess the Grizzly Bear warning scared people off. Gem & Estelle I have my doubts that it will be found anytime soon. The mountaintop Geocaches aren't very popular.

The main purpose of PNG was to replace GIF (and TIFF LZW). PNG not only is lossless, it is open format and royalty free. I archive all of my digital photos as PNG. Also, a PNG is aobut 75% of the size of a TIFF image. I do agree though that JPG is probably the best way to go for web pages, as a JPG is about 16% of the size of a PNG, but with today's huge storage capability, I would never consider archiving anything as a JPG.
