  1. First, download GSAK

     

    In GSAK, with your My Finds PQ loaded, to to the Filters dialog, "Other" tab. Near the bottom, see the My Found Count drop down and change it to Greater Than or Equal to 2. Click the Go button, and any cache that you have logged more than once will be listed.

     

    Copied this from another forum topic. I'm not skilled enough to link to it. Hope this helps.

  2. You'd receive much better data by writing a script that looks at logs on GC.com and tabulates data. I'm pretty sure you'll get no useful and reliable data this way. If you're serious about this, I would suggest looking into Perl.

  3. I would say make it a multi IF you are committed to maintaining and checking on it. If its 18 stages, it will probably only get hunted once a year (or so) and theres nothing worse than being in the middle of a multi, not finding a stage, then seeing later that it wasn't there anymore.

     

    But multis are awesome! For me, I don't care about only getting one smilie instead of 10. It's the experience that counts!

  4. One thing that really helps is to note that you know the first two digits of each coordinate, and usually have a pretty good guess on the next two. For me, its N42 xx.xxx W83 xx.xxx, so I try to figure out how to get the degrees to read 42 and 83, then apply that to the rest of the numbers.

     

    The minutes will usually be the same, and 1 or 2 off if they're not

  5. I want to do some canoe/kayak caches, but my GPS (Garmin 62s) doesn't float! It seems that somebody must manufacture a floatation device that clips onto the back of it (where the caribeaner that comes with the unit clips on), but a quick internet search yielded no obvious results.

     

    So, how do you make your GPS bouyant? Do you risk it and just use a lanyard around your neck, or some other solution? Or is there a product on the market I am simply missing?

  6. I'd say archive them both. It seems to me that both moves would make for a new finding experience and therefore should have new GC code.

     

    I agree. If the finding experience is different, those who found the first two will want to find these also; and it's sometimes looked down upon to log a second "found it" log on the same GC#

     

    Now that I see they are from 2003, I would say leave as is. Don't move or archive.

     

    Old caches are fun, but not nearly as fun if you know they've been moved and esensially created into a new cache with the same GC#

  7. I'd say archive them both. It seems to me that both moves would make for a new finding experience and therefore should have new GC code.

  8. That probably won't work as a puzzle cache... It used to be that cachers could email the CO when they figured out the puzzle to get the actual coords. but that is discouraged now. Maybe you could do "minimum number of pours to measure 4 gallons" with the 3 and 5 gallon bucket then have the cacher add that to some other coords. IDK if that would work or not...

  9. my thought is yes. They have outlined what they plan to do in releases 3 and 4, and so far they have only released update 2. I'm thinking updates 3 and 4 will be separate, otherwise they would just be update 3. It is possible we see update 3 in a few hours though!

  10. I had a trip to Boston last week and while there managed to have 2 partial days to grab CT, VT, RI, ME, NH as well as MA. YEAH!!! Much better looking map.

     

    I wonder how much gas $$ I spent on shading a stupid map. :laughing:

     

    Do you want a cookie?

  11. I find it puzzling that everyone is complaining about the beta maps. I suggest you look up "Beta" it means "not ready", "under development", not "new, ready to go". A beta version is almost guaranteed to have bugs!
