I will be cruising on the Oosterdam Feb 16-23rd and was wondering if anyother cachers will be onboard. I have been to all the ports of call before and have cached at each one previously, but there are always some new bits of gold to search for. I was especially looking to find someone who would like to share a cab on Grand Turk to get the caches on the far end of the island.

I have done the work around when the plug in stopped working on most browsers and found it to be (while not a huge burden) not as convenient. If all the browsers still were compatible with Garmin's plug in, EVERYONE would still be using the feature. While I will have to get used to adding extra steps to loading my gps, it is definitely not an improvement. I don't understand how something that was still useful for some can be applauded for its removal by those who didn't use it anymore and had absolutely no effect on their caching experience.

The removal of the "Send to my GPS" feature from the cache pages is very disappointing. I had purposely not updated my explorer browser so I could keep using this feature after it stopped working on Firefox. It now just got much more difficult for me to load caches along unplanned routes, to update previously loaded caches and to quickly load caches for FTF runs. Not entirely sure why it needed to be removed, why not leave it on the page for the few of us who relied on it.

I was the one who posted a DNF for "our cach". I may have not found it but that doesn't mean that it isn't there. I hope someone else tries it, I was just a little uncomfortable searching someone's fence as I am not too sure about the coordinates. I will come back if it is found though. The new cacher might have not realized that the cache container should be placed before posting and placed it after the listing came up. I hope new cacher's continue to place caches so I have something new to look for in my neighbourhood. Chris
