Contrary to popular belief, I do not spend my days in front of a PC (unless at work and then it is different) I applaud your eagerness, I had it once too, but please have patience, you emailed me on Tuesday the 22nd, today is the 24th. I have emailed you the info you need without having to wait for Nolan show involvement. Happy hunting.

typing the postcode into maps.google.com does not bring back any results. nada. zilch etc I do have a link on the LHS to set default location whicj I assume I have never done. Would you have done this tiiiim? If so, this could as you suspect, weigh googles answers in your favour. I tried entering BT2 8GB UK as a location and that brings back nothing either. My maps page may be 'up the left'. I will have to experiment later, but atleast I can search now. Thanks again.

Dino, tiiiim and norsch thanks for your help. You have answered my question quickly, and now I can happily search for caches close to home easily again That was my second post in 4 years. Both complaints/queries, I will get a reputation as moaner dino, good to hear from you. I will put this onto the geocaching ireland forums for others so they can avail of my misfortune and good luck that knights in shining armour did read of my plea.... stuff this, it makes me sound too girly

Years ago I noticed the search by the post code option on the 'hide and seek' a cache would take me to Bayern, Germany when I entered a postcode from central Belfast eg BT2 8GB. It was OK as I quickly realised that typing "www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx" into my browser, brought me to a different search screen. This listed the caches around Belfast and I was happy Well, in the last week or so, my fall back has been cruelly changed so that I now get German caches again In the first instance I hope someone out there has a work around. If so can you let me know. I am thinking that the problem could lie in one of two places, but I am prepared to be wrong. 1) Groundspeak/Geocaching have a set of look up tables which do not include Northern Ireland (All postcodes start BT....) 2) The geocaching website passes the input to Google maps or similar, and Google have eroneous data. Maybe this could be looked at by the masters, as it worked, and was soo handy. THIA.

Well, this could be my first post. I was a bit unsure of what was happening with the mobipocket files I received by email daily to my symbian phone, now I know. I was really annoyed (mildly put!) at this feature being removed as it let me know of new caches in the area in a readable format. Like others I feel it was a definate benefit of premium membership. Not a regular forum user it would have been nice for an email to let us know what had happened and the service was a gonner, especially to those who used that particular service I would like to thank Murre&Mirre for letting me know about smartgpx. I surfed to their website from my phone and installed it to my Nokia 6630 without any problems, and now I can make easy sense of those gpx files. Looks like I will have to visit the forums a bit more
