  1. Katselin noita hieman uusittuja geocaching.com sivustoja ja huomasin tämmöisen sivun Lost and Found tour eli 1 , ja 2 Toukokuuta järjestettyihin eventteihin on mahkut saada erityisen 10 years! Evemt ikonin;) Eli tuleva VAPPU ! Google translate käännös pikaisesti "10 years! Events Kuka tahansa voi järjestää 10 years! Eventin joko 1 tai 2 toukokuu 2010. Tarkista paikalliseen tapahtumakalenterista ennen lähettämistä yksi, mutta: se voi olla jo suunnitteilla. Lisäksi standardin tapahtuman välimuisti suuntaviivat, on muutamia lisäohjeita, että sinun tulee noudattaa, jos haluat tilaisuutesi saada 10 vuotta! cache type kuvaketta. Ylimääräinen ohjeet: * Tapahtumia on pidettävä toukokuun 1 tai 2 toukokuu 2010. * Tapahtuman nimi on muotoiltu näin: "10 years! <sijainti>." Esimerkiksi: 10 vuotta! Seattle, WA tai 10 vuotta! Helsinki, Suomi. * Vähintään 10 ihmistä on osallistunut tapahtuman. * Flashmobs eivät kelpaa. * Video tai kuva on otettu tapahtumasta. Vähintään 10 osallistujien on oltava videolla / kuvassa yhdessä luettavissa tapahtumamerkin kanssa jossa näytetään tapahtuman koordinaatit sekä sijainti ja nimi. * Ihmisten video tai kuvassa on olta juhlatunnelmissa. On kekseliäs! Mutta pitäkää tapahtuma perheystävällinen. Jos olet kiinnostunut isäntänä 10 vuotta! tapauksessa, olet tervetullut esittämään se normaali tapahtuma välimuistin tällä hetkellä. Annamme tietoja siitä, miten siirtyä listalle on 10 vuotta! mikäli pian."
  2. Same here. I can't look any of my caches or others either..
  3. Nuvi 500 / 550 series is now very good in geocaching. Just copy gpx in it and you get cache descriptions, hints and last logs and caches with different cache type icons on map view. I have used topo maps of my country with it and it works fine also in offroad mode with compass view almost like in real handheld gps.
  4. Porvoon arkistoidun 0 km kätkön tilalle on julkaistu nyt uusi 0 km:Porvoo. Ollaan logattu tähänmennessä 34 0 km: kätköä.
  5. Yep, very annoying. However, using accented characters like åäö instead of th &-codes in html might be causing other problems so it is not sure that allowing them directly in html is the way to go. What this problem really shows is the lack of a simple html editor in the caching listing editor. If there was such an html editor, you would be able to write the text with proper scandinavian letters and then click on a button to create html code for it. It would also solve the problem with beginners not being able to insert images in their cache descriptions because they don't know html. Until this problem is fixed, I recommend you use an external html editor to edit your listings. Then you will also have a backup copy of your descriptions and can try out different things before you upload them to geocaching.com. Personally I use the html editor in SeaMonkey (SeaMonkey Composer, previously Mozilla Composer) and it works great for me. It generates html code that work very well in cache listings, clean and efficient code that renders properly also on GPS devices with paperless caching ability. Some people prefer the online geoching html editor on this Danish page: http://www.crumlin.dk/geocaching/html/editor/ and it seems to work fine too. However there is a really annoying bug with the new release: The generated GPX files contain strange looking &-code sequencs (& followed by auml; etc) and these files do not render properly on paperless GPS devices like Garmin Oregon!!! iller Are these matters going to be fixed sometimes in near future? Please explain what problems do letters of our language and in our keyboard (like ÄÖÅ) cause in this system. So that I and many other would undestand this change..
  6. Opera mini browser on mobile phone is excellent app. I'm surfing gc.com with my mobile phone without any problems.
  7. On huomattu. Ei kai tuolle voi muuta tehdä kuin pistää bugiraporttiketjuun englanniksi valitusta ja korjauspyyntöjä. Ääkkösiä voi kai käyttää edelleen, mutta ne muutetaan tallennettaessa tuollaisiksi, joten ei kannata editoida kätkökuvauksia tai ainakin kannattaa pitää kuvauksen tekstit omalla koneella tallessa ja kopioida sieltä kätkökuvauslaatikkoon, jotta ei tarvitse olla koko ajan korjailemassa ääkkösiä. On huomattu ja laitoin tuosta pari päivää sitten tuonne tämmöistä..
  8. I have changed my EC photo requirements so that only the EC object in question is only needed thing to be seen in a picture. Photo quality is almost irrelevant as long as earthcache object can be seen there. Phone pictures or otherwise bad pictures are infact quite good as that really show finders own fingerprint that one has actually visited the site. I still think it is taking pictures don't rule out any educational purposes of EC's. In my mind seeing in general and making in this case photos yourself helps in learning process and is that way educational.
  9. When I try to edit cache descriptions with scandinavian letters it is almost impossible as letters have became cryptic.. Can't explain more just look at the image. Everything with ä etc. are wrong. I have tried this in IE 8.0.6... and FF 3.5.6. Very annoying problem.
  10. --> QUOTE(brian b @ Jan 14 2010, 02:08 PM) 4190459[/snapback] Small Oaks -- That is exactly how I transfer my PQ to the gps. What I am looking for is to have the names of the caches appear on the map screen. This happens when I export them (as you described), but then they show up in My Favorites, which then causes havoc when needed to delete them. Is there a way to get the names (or even GC numbers) of the caches to show up above the cache other than through the export? Sorry, I didn't understand your question. I think there is no way to add (atleast in my knowledge) names or gccode in a map view. But you can see what is the name of the cache by moving cursor over each icon.
  11. Give your nuvi a chance.. - Do pocket query from your selected area and when you got the gpx file save it in Nuvi's Garmin/GPX folder. - Or sometimes if you want only one cache, use GPX exhange file option on cache page instead of send to gps function. You get gpx file with one cache that you copy into Garmin/GPX folder. - In Gsak there is an option to make gpx file also that can be found on File->export->gpx/loc file. I don't use any macro's just that export and some filtering when I select caches. Copy that gpx file in Nuvis Garmin/gpx folder. I do this way and I'm totally happy geocaching with my nuvi 500. It works just like on pictures above, with cache names and descriptions and most recent logs.
  12. On page what is now called Trackable items (YOURS)(Btw. I don't like that change).. When trying to SORT trackables that I own by LAST LOG, it won't work in any browser I have ( Opera, IE, FF, Chrome)..Other options (name and distance) work however. "500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed." In MY public profile when looking all found geocaches. Distances from my home coordinates to found geocaches don't exist. Or is the option "Distances Measured in Kilometers Switch" there by mistake?
  13. The largest geocache our team ( two adults and a two kids) have been is this. There was room to all of our team and desk for signing the logbook.
  14. We use Garmin Nuvi 500..it has build in geocaching mode with paperless geocaching. If premium member there is, cache descriptions, recent five logs and hint and also possibility to use fieldnotes. It has also Wherigo but I haven't use it yet. We have also garmin 60 cx, but nowadays it seems that only device we take with us is Nuvi 500. Nuvi 500 is supposed to be waterresistant and it has a bit more solid case than other nuvis.
  15. 1000 paukahti Silverquickin Numerosokeus kätköllä. Sen verran sokeita oltiin, että se oli samalla meidän 99 löydetty mysteeri. 3.5 vuotta on kulunut tämän harrastuksen parissa kuin siivillä. Kiitos kätköistä!
  16. Try live.geocaching.com it is free but for better usage it needs premium membership.
  17. No ei kovin läheltä. Tossa on kyse erilaisten hallinnollisten tai maantieteellisten alueiden pinta-alojen keskipisteistä. Ihan eri asia kuin nollapistesarjan käyttämät maantieverkoston matkamittauksen referenssipisteet. No kyllä sieltä niitäkin kuitenkin löytyy...kaikenkaikkiaan listalla on 48 kohdetta joista ainakin 7 oli kuitenkin 0 km pisteitä.... Keräsin nyt ne 7 tähän. http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/WM5PC4_...udapest_Hungary http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/WM1NFW_...aua_Maua_Brazil http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarkshttp://w...eslaagte_Beacon http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/WM1948_...ao_Paulo_Brazil http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/WMXCB_Km_0_Pernambuco http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/WMWAH_P..._del_Sol_Madrid http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/WMR36_P...ro_Paris_France
  18. Tämä liippaa kans läheltä eli Waymarking kategoria geographical centers. Joukossa on joidenkin suurkaupunkien vastaavat 0 km pisteet. Näissä on myös jonkinlainen muistomerkki, laatta tms.
  19. Only Nokia 5800 is not a Symbian S60 3rd but 5th :-) Yeah, you are right about that! But 5800 is still supported;) see list of supported devices from live's website. http://live.geocaching.com/guide/ It says "Tested devices (by the order of popularity) Nokia: E71, N95, E90, E75,E51, 6110 Navigator, N73, 6120 Classic, E66, E65, NokiaE70, N96, N82, E50, E61i, E61, N70, N78, 6220 Classic, 6210 Navigator, 5800, 5500, N85, N79, N71, E60, 6630, N93, N92,N80, N76, 6121 Classic, 5320 Sony Ericsson: C702, C905, C760, W760, W715. W890, P11 Samsung: SGH-i900, SGH-G810, i8910 HD"
  20. try download free app called GeocachingLive from http://live.geocaching.com/index.php This can be used with or without gps and should work with most symbian s60 3rd phones like Nokia 5800.
  21. I would check first if walking mode is set to navigate "offroad". If not, something have happend in update and walking mode is changed to use "following roads" (or similar) like in driving mode. There is a setting where this can be chosen.
  22. I concur. Mrs. Car54 I do too! I had same intention with my EarthCache geocoin but noticed that it can't be even drop and retrieve. Hey. new traveller log type - visited - would be nice! Just select that from bugs page and enter the cache where it has visited,and write your log as usual. This can be used only whey you have the coin, but tb milage would be then be calculated to that cache and coin actually stays in your posession until you drop it to actual cache. This could be used only on virtuals...Just speculating, but why not? Maybe it is too complicating to implement.
  23. This was good idea. I'm in this too. http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/WM75JF_..._Porvoo_Finland
  24. I have had similar experiences with pottery. This is one of my pottery collection that I've hidden sometime ago together with trad geocache as geocacher confuser:) Works pretty well. Seen At night by one geocacher, that was really scared... Seen at daytime,
  25. Please post info also to Garmin so they know this long cache name problem really exist. I did so and they haven't heard about this according to reply I got recenty. "Thank you for contacting Garmin Europe. Thanks for your email I will be happy to help. This isn't an issue that we have come across before with the Nuvi 550. Please could you email me one of the geocaches that you have been experiencing a problem with so that I could see if this issue could be replicated on a unit here. If we can replicate this issue then I can get this reported as it could be something which is fixed." And I sent this just two weeks ago and nuvi 500 has been about year now on market.
