Comcast does this a lot. Send them e-mails to their support.

Does anyone know how to find geocaches by county? ItsNotAboutTheNumbers can discern caches by county. Is there a way to search for caches by county?
-
I too am not receiving my PQs even though they have been generated. I also have Comcast.

Read this Wikipedia link about MobiPocket. It has some interesting comments about the last few weeks at MobiPocket.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobipocket
It's also a French company. Isn't or wasn't Magellan a French company or owned by a French company? Magellan has a reputation for awful customer service. Maybe that explains part of the problem.
-
This has to have come up before, but I didn't see it.
Why does a cacher need to have the travel bug or geocoin numeric or alphanumeric code to post a note?
-
What about Adobe Acrobat eBooks? PDFs would be more universal.
-
What is the difference between the software that bit the dust and MobiPocket Creator Publisher Edition?
-
I just notice the MobiPocket missing and I am really bummed. PDFs could be an option for me. -SLT
-
This could be some sort of new category or discoverable item. A travel bug bumper sticker complete with tracking number. Just a thought.
-
I found three of these in Parma, Michigan. One was not bolted closed so I could see inside. All three were marked with witness posts indicating they were survey markers. The cover indicated they were monitoring wells. Are they are form of survey marker?
(I'm trying to upload a picture.)
(Is there a way beside linking it?)
-
I have a few coins I like to keep and just show at events or cachers I meet, allowing them to discover the coins. They are listed in My Inventory. I would like to be able to separate those coins from the coins and TBs I move. A second inventory like My Collection would be a nice feature.
I've seen cachers with larger collections keep them inventoried in old events because it just overwhelms the My Inventory.
-
I'd like to see an option that would allow a cache creator to link his/her caches that are part of a series. Sometimes a cache series is obvious by name and sometimes not. This option should allow a cacher to click a link to see all the caches in the series. I know this can be done by a cacher with bookmarks. It would be nice if the cache creator could do it without necessarily creating a bookmark list.
-
This topic must have been covered before.... The PQ feature is great and I set them based on where I want to go caching. I create them to encompass the widest area I can but still stay under 200 caches in the list. Two-hundred is the magic number for eXplorists. (This is not a Magellan vs. Garmin debate.) Each file on a Magellan eXplorist is limited to 200 POIs. While 40 might be more than some people need, I need more. Sometimes an area is so saturated that my PQs search area is limited to five miles. I'm reaching the 40 PQ limit and expect to go caching all over this summer. I really don't want to delete any of my PQs.

The issue of being on one stage and thinking it was another is my own fault. It just made me realize that hunting for micros takes a different mindset than hunting for a regular size cache.
GENERALLY speaking, hunting for micros takes stealth, a keen eye, patience, and the ability to think of the absurd. A regular cache in the woods GENERALLY does not. The cache itself is often different in that it holds only a log, not bugs, coins, or swag. There are often placed for different reasons as well. Micros are often placed to give the cacher a challenge to find it (or pad stats). An ammo box in the woods is there, partially, in theory, to bring the cacher to an interesting spot. Don't many cachers get a bit frustrated after a mile hike into the woods for a micro?
Calling it a Traditional because the cache is at the coordinates is misleading. A multi-cache is at the coordinates, at least in part. It has it's own icon. It is there to inform the cacher that he or she needs to approach this cache with a different mindset. One that indicates there are multiple parts and gratification will come with the sum of the whole.
-
Long-winded explanation to my thinking: During a recent multi-cache I began thinking about micro caches. The multi was made up of five stages, each a micro cache (in the woods). The final stage was an ammo box. While looking for the final stage we had lost track and believed we were on stage 5 and looking for a micro cache. We ended up not finding the stage. While logging the cache we realized our mistake. The point here is that we had the mindset to look for a micro container. If we had remembered to look for an ammo box we would have approached the hunt much differently.
What I'd like to see: Micro caches are not traditional caches. The placement, the search techniques, and environment are often vastly different to the search for a container in the woods. There is usually nothing to trade, only a log book to sign. I'd like to see micro caches given it's own cache type. The would affect a few things, stats being one. But more importantly, to me, how the information appears on my GPSr w/o reading the eBook from the PQ. It would also, with its own icon, appear differently in cache searches on Geocaching.com and would allow for filtering.
I like urban micros and full-size caches in the woods. I have hidden both and search for both. Sometimes I would like to be able to differentiate the cache types by filtering or what have you.
-
Thanks everyone. I have it working now. It had something to do with cutting out parts of my route in Google Earth. I recreated the route differently and it worked. Thanks again.
-
I am having a problem with the tabs disappearing and nothing being uploaded. My potential rout does not appear anywhere.
I have made route before, but for some reason something is wrong. I appreciate the help. Thanks!
-
Is anyone having problems with caches along a route? When I upload my KML file nothing seems to happen and I just get the directions on how to upload.
-
Is there a way to transfer ownership of trackables such as geocoins and travelbugs? What about more editing options? If not, it would be a nice feature.
-
$1.00 per stamp. Don't think I would pay that much for it as most letters are sorted etc by machine. I might pay for a stamp like sticker that I can add next to the "real" stamp though.
I read more about it after the I first posted. It is pretty expensive.
-
I saw an ad for PhotoStamps and Stamps.com. It would be cool if there were geocaching postage stamps. Cachers could make their own stamps or maybe Geocaching.com could help with logos. Why not promote geocaching? Would this be within the guidelines of using the logos? Would/should/could it be supported by Geocaching.com/Groudspeak?
-
I'd like to see a way to organize trackable listings in one's own profile. Tabbed pages or something to group similar trackables together. Like putting all the Signal geocoins in one tab and personal geocoins in another. Something customizable for personal preferences. Or, if too difficult, a way to edit listed names in order to group them.
-
I have a bunch a TBs out there and when I get curious about why someone is hanging onto the it for longer than usual, I will go check their profile to see when he last logged a cache. I also check the last time they visited GC.com. I have yet to e-mail another cacher about holding a TB too long, but it is a bit frustrating when the cacher has been out and active. The one holding the coin in question has not been out since he logged the cache the coin was grabbed from. It has been cold here, but there is also a bit of responsibility on the part of the cacher to post a note or e-mail that the coin might be held onto a bit longer. I have notified owners and they have been very understanding.
-
I'm a bit late to this topic, but I hope it doesn't go unnoticed.
I too would like to see an "All" caches to be notified about. Currently I only get notifications for established cache types (this is my own doing). I just reached my 40 notification limit. It is a bit frustrating. At least raise the limit. That shouldn't be too difficult.
