    adding chinese characters to a cache page

    in Website

    Posted · Edited by nollscoffen

    The funny thing is that, while at home, I saw chinese characters on that page and while pasting the results from babelfish to the cache description - the only problem was publishing the cache page itself...

     

    The problem with the image is that... well, no one here in Portugal would understand/translate it. :laughing:

    I'd like to create a cache where the text is in chinese; however once I copy/paste it to the cache name and description the only thing I get is several "?????"

     

    I've seen chinese characters in other cache pages (such as this one), so I know it's not a matter of missing any browser language packages or something similar.

     

    Any help? :laughing:

    Looking for help from a fellow Italian geocacher

    in Italian-Speaking

    Posted

    During a visit to Rome about 1,5 months ago I placed a nano cache near Castel Sant'Angelo (aptly named "Il nano e la segreta del Castel Sant'Angelo").

     

    Because of my work I now have to travel frequently to Italy but because the cache has such a small logbook it got completely full in just 1 month... To make things worse some water has gotten inside the container, turning the logbook to a pulp.

     

    What I'd like to know is if some geocacher from that area (or that visits it frquently) would be willing to perform regular maintenance on it. I'd send him/her 2 or 3 of the appropriate speacial containers (it's a nano cache) so it could be done inbetween my visits.

     

    Thanks in advance for your interest.

    garmin colorado 300 vs 400

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    After over 1 year I've decided to upgrade my GPS and buy a new unit.

     

    I'm really interested in a garmin Colorado, however I can't really tell the difference between the 300 and the 400.

     

    From what I read the various 400 come with pre-loaded maps, but these wouldn't help me much as I'm based in europe. That being the case, do you reckon the 300 would suffice if I bought it with a pre-loaded european map (available in the european version)?

     

    Apart from this, what other differences can I expect when comparing the 300 and 400?

    Many thanks for the info!

     

    After reading it I decided against taking my GPS unit; instead I'll go for the virtual caches and try to do the other 2 I wanted using googlemaps - not the best solution, but at least I know I won't be arrested... :D

    Já entrei em contacto com a embaixada, que por sua vez me redireccionou para um site... de venda de bilhetes online? (estranho mas verdade)

     

    Em todo o caso a resposta no forum all nations foi elucidativa q.b.: a consulta a este link tirou-me todas as dúvidas... :D

     

    Resta-me tentar as 2 virtuais e, quem sabe, os googlemaps das caches sejam elucidativos o suficiente.

     

    Obrigado pela ajuda.

    I'm off to Russia on Sunday and, being the curious geocacher :D, already decided which caches I wanted to do during my stay. But I have one question... Is it legal to take a GPS unit into russian territory? If it is, do I need to declare it when going through customs? I'd really hate to have my eXplorist 210 end up in the pocket of some over-zelous customs employee... :cry:

    Vou para a Rússia no domingo e, geocacher curioso que sou :cry: , já vi quais as caches que tenho possibilidade de fazer no tempo em que lá vou estar. Mas tenho uma questão... Alguém sabe se é legal levar um GPS para dentro do território russo? E se sim, é necessário declará-lo à entrada no país? Pergunto isto porque sei que em alguns países (Cuba, por exemplo) é ilegal entrar lá com aparelhos destes, por isso não gostaria nada de ver o meu eXplorist 210 a ficar no bolso de um qualquer funcionário da alfândega russa... :D

    There's no rebate option here so that's my final price.

     

    The thing is, I've been reading about the extra functionalities in Venture Cx and they look great but having to pay for a mem card on top of the 74 euros difference really hurts my budget...

     

    That is why I'm aiming for the Magellan but still thinking if it's a good option for 180 euros...

    Which Gps ?

    I've been reading what people have answered me in a previous post and been also listening to suggestions from other people.

     

    Since price is a factor I put the question: Magellan eXplorist 210 (180 euros) or Garmin eTrex Venture Cx(254 euros, I have the cable but no card)?
