Make sure the 'enable listing' box has been checked, or it wont even be available for review.

What about Winter? what do you plan to do when the water freezes?

True that is no longer 'not found' but on the day you looked and didn't find it it was not found, meaning you DNF'd it... Not very often, but having an accurate account of when not found and when found can make huge impact the game. It will not only effect maintenance scheduling, but also other aspects of the game too. Sometimes, infact, DNF logs can actually encourage others to go look for a cache, not deter them.

Not that it really matters.... but I thought it was "Additional Logging Requirements". Like I said, doesn't really matter.

Just one here: 1) Geocoin Club's July 2007 -- The Spy Coin (either style) No one has 'em and I don't really trust eBay...

This months coin just came in from the club

Or can you get the actual coordinates if you're registered with them and signed in? B. I looked up two of my caches, one published, one unpublished. Both stated "We don't have any informarmation[sic] related to this cache" yet. Also from their "How it works" page: What all that means, I haven't the foggiest. Yes, you can get the coordinates once you have signed up/gotten credits. I made an account to see how it worked and this is what I have found. You get credit by posing the final coordinates of a cache, you will get more credit for each person who "validates" that your coordinates are correct, and the "validators" also get credit for doing so. It costs you credit that have earned to actually see the final coordinates of other caches. So in order to get the spoilers, you have to create spoilers and validate others spoilers first. That way you can get credit. This sucks. What a waste of time and effort. The only people that are getting cheated are the people participating in that website. Although I don't foresee this actually hurting the people who want to play this game the intended way, it still is a bummer to see.

Oops, sorry! I was on the wrong page! lol

Ideally you should not get the coordinates for hiding a cache from a phone. It is best to have a dedicated GPS unit for this. If you must use a phone, there are a number of 'averaging' apps for android. Use one of these and let it average for 5+ minutes on different days over a week or so. This will give you the most accuracy as possible. Edit to add: A lot of people like the following apps for averaging. -GPS Averaging -AvgGPS

My question is simply: why? Why would you want to do this? After all these weren't/aren't geocaches... they're 'stashes'. You say this was was done back when you were into "stash hunting". This would would make these containers stashes, not geocaches. It would be an inaccurate representation of your hides even if padding your numbers is not what you are after. I would suggest you consider the fact that it would be nearly impossible to accomplish, and that it really doesn't fit in anyway and discontinue this thought. Just my 2 cents.

It is best not post any specifics about any Geocache without permission from the owner. The forum suggests that you ask the owner of the cache for any hints or help that you may need. I am surprised that the cache page, or previous stage of the multi did not tell you what to do with these numbers. In general, your coordinate system is formatted as such: 'N/S XX XX.XXX W/E XX XX.XXX'. There is only one part of these coordinates that have a group of 3. Try replacing those 3 with the numbers you found.

All info is helpful. What I am looking for i s the app that you use within android to see geocaches/maps etc... what is the name of the app? Is it the official Groundspeak app, or a third party developer?

In order to help you, we need to know what app you are using. Once we have that information we can provide you with instruction. Thanks!

I prefer GPS Averaging. Gives you the option to email, export to file and even to show in Locus maps. It gets good reviews (4.2 as of this writing) and is very simple to understand.

And this is bad why?!?! LOL! ...I agree with what you are saying... just thought it was funny, after all isn't i about quality, not quantity?

Looks like your phone has GPS so you should be fine. Also looks to Android based. There are a number of Android apps for Geocaching available. A few to list: -Official Groundspeak app -NeonGeo -C:geo -Locus Maps w/ Geocaching addon -CacheBox -GeoBeagle -CacheMate Take your pic. Try them all and see what works best for you!

I got the Assassin's Respite today

If you are looking at the coordinates on an online map (like Google maps) it may show them as somewhere they ate not... maps like these are known to be off as much 200ft. sometimes... Check what the 'accuracy' reading on your GPS device and confirm that it is reading a low number (10-20 ft. is good enough)

I thought they did, I probably have it confused with something else. I have this on my toolbar: But I don't recall how I got it. It doesn't show as either an Extension or a Plugin. You add these manually by selecting 'manage search engines' at the bottom of the list. You will need the actual URL to the search form first though ...

I don't use GSAK, as I'm on a MAC. And if I understand you correctly, these caches would not be in my data base. I'm looking for caches that I haven't yet downloaded or found. Thanks. Pete I think what he means by database is that you would run a pocket query of all the caches in your area, then use that for your database. GSAK isn't the only software out there. Really just about any cache management software for Mac ought to work. Thanks...I'll give that a try. For my purposes, I may have to set various geographical areas for my PQ, but that's certainly doable. Thanks again. Pete Excellent. Just FYI, there looks to be some good software out there... although they all look to cost a little bit of money. Most are for $15, but some are about $25. Here are some links... iCaching MacCaching GeoJournal BaseCamp

I thoroughly read what you typed before posting. I apologize for the harsh post. It was late, and I had been reading so many negative things around here I was kinda peeved. It was inappropriate of me to do that.

Some popular tools are Google Earth, Easy/Expert GPS, GSAK and I am sure there are others. Now, for what you want to do, if you are drawing a line a specific distance, won't you know how far apart the to points are? More information on what you want to do would be great!

I too would be interested in only the 'Special" edition. And it looks like this coin isn't for sale anywhere either. Anyone up for a deal/sell/trade for this one?
