  1. Raczej pamięć myli. Każde usunięcie logu przez właściciela skrytki skutkuje powiadomieniem mailowym do autora wpisu. Jakimś tam alternatywnym tropem mogłoby być sprawdzenie czy logi poszły z aplikacji na stronę (jeżeli dalej macie te same telefony). Raz zdarzyło mi się odtwarzać datę znalezienia kesza na podstawie zdjęć bo zobaczyłem na mapie zieloną ikonkę tak gdzie powinna być żółta. Powodem był słaby zasięg, a wtedy logowałem wszystko z terenu.
  2. Dzięki Panowie za odpowiedzi. Wygląda na to, że różnica w funkcjonalności MapCompare i mapy powiatów nie jest warta €18 :).
  3. Dzięki za odpowiedź. Za mało mam argumentów, żeby wykupywać jeszcze premium na project-gc. Ale jak już podałeś linka zacząłem grzebać i podobny efekt (ale 1 powiat na raz) osiągnąłem używając map compare. Ustawiłem porównanie do samego siebie z dokładnością do powiatu właśnie. Zawsze to lepsze niż wertowanie listy... http://project-gc.com/Tools/MapCompare Posługując się nomenklaturą supportową, Workaround jest
  4. Istnieje coś takiego? Wiem że na geocaching.pl można wejść w listę keszy w każdym powiecie z osobna, ale planowanie trasy na tej podstawie wygląda na mało ergonomiczne. Miałem nadzieje, ze ktoś już kiedyś to koło wynalazł...
  5. Thanks to the Mary Hyde scoring people are dropping and retrieving trackables on a mass scale. This really is flooding my dashboard. I'd like to see only cache activity there. Is one additional filter too much?
  6. OK, that puts it straight. Now I have to figure out what to do with the rest of the day after I finish my 15 minute souvenir hunt for this week
  7. Can we PLEASE have an option to filter out all trackable entries in the activity of our friends? Looking at the dashboard after someone visits an event and discovers 100+ trackables is a nightmare, but at eh same time I'm still interested what caches they visited...
  8. In the first week it was 5 ponts individual + 30 "league". Did they just drop this to finding 2 caches for the entire week?
  9. But what's the total requirement? From the previous week my total "league" points was 1285/30 and I assume it will increase before Wednesday...
  10. Hi Mark, I know your question was more or less about drive ins, but if you are really into WW2 places I'd recommend reconsidering the entire plan and visit there: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC4FF3R_osowka Be advised I know the places but I haven't found the caches as I wasn't caaching at the time so I can't assure about their quality. But Riese complex seems like a must for a perosn with your interests...
  11. Do you have an sd card in it? My friends lately showed me that an error on that side can have a large variety of strange (almost magical) issues...
  12. I had an emergency re-registration of my Garmin on saturday. It worked flawlessly.
  13. Ok guys, I've been using Garmin 750 for a month now and I think I can share some thoughts in a short review. I switched from Oregon 650 lured with the live geocaching and online features. Enough said those were a bit disappointing but I'm not that sorry about the purchase (as long as I don't look at the my credit card histiry). Online features I'll start from the key new feature. The overall execution of the concept is rather rubbish. It would be OK for a very casueal geocacher who just focuses on traditional caches and refreshes them on the go. The problem is such a person wouldn't be buing a dedicated device for caching (especially with Oregon 7xx price tag). You'd see such a cacher with a smartphone and an app which gives much more features than Garmin in that scenario. What about a more advanced user? We still have the non-existent waypoint support for the multicaches. You have them if you upload a full pocket query, but as in 6xx series you have to look for them using their codes in one combined list (that is why I'm calling it non-existent). If you have a solved puzzle it will be downloaded with the original coordinates. The same goes for caches with custom coordinates included in PQs and lists downloaded directly to the device (using the lists feature). You get the starting coordinates. Besides that, the PQ/List download itself is extremely slow. The unit first downloads an index of caches and then the rest of the details. Even if you don't have a PC nearby, downloading the PQ files to a mobile phone and then transfering them to the unit via USB Host will be much faster and you'll have the custom coordinates for your puzzles, letterboxex or multis you have collected all the data but didn't have the opportunity to pick up. And the last but not least: you can send the logs (e.g. found it) directly to the server but there is no setting to send them as field notes (drafts). This made me turn off this feature completely. The only real life scenarios I used the online feature were: - I loaded a PQ with all the caches in the area excluding puzzles and another PQ with solved mysteries. I do it to be sure that every question mark I can see on the map is a cache I have the right coordinates for. The strategy is great untill you go for a series with a bonus cache (which is a mystery of course). In such a situation I can download such a cache to have all visits in one place/file. - I made a PQ which excluded disabled caches. While caching in that area I learned that there were some caches which were either enabled or the disabled ones were actually available. Refreshing the map let me look for said caches. - I wen't to an event. I had a PQ of the area prepared the day before, but when I arrived I learned that new caches have been published (what a surprise ). Few clicks and there are on my device. I think that the 3 above examples show what the online feature can be used for: EMERGENCIES. Wireless features. When I bought the unit I stille had a Windows Mobile 10 phone. The only thing that really worhed was WiFi tethering. I was able to connect the unit via BT but that didn't do anything apart showing that the unit is connected. I switched to an Android phone last week, and now it works nicely. The notifications show on the device, you can read SMS and email (havent tested all the scenarios with the later). It's a shame there is no possibility to reply to text messages from the init but it's a very low prio wish. The coolest thing is tethering via bluetooth without setting the phone in BT hotspot mode (so the unit is just connected via BT and is able to use the Internet connection from the phone). I'm sure it saves alot of battery on both devices. Precision Haven't done any real comparison tests as this almost can't be done by a non-expert. What I noticed though is they seem to have minimized that annoying effect known from Oregon 650 where if you are walking towards the cache, the unit somehow compensates for your movement. The effect almost always was that near the cache I had to stop, wait for few seconds for my position to update, and then go few steps back to allign with my new position and the cache location. For now I can't see this effect on the 750. What I did notice is that in some areas the electronic compass tends to go crazy and I'm not able to calibrate it. In one place in Prague it was almost spinning like a fan. I'll observe this a little more and compare with my friends' garmin when we go caching together. If their's will be fine and mine not (in the same spot), I can see a warranty claim coming. It came out a little longer than I planned but I hope it helps at least one person who was able to not get pored and read till the end .
  14. Najpierw zawsze wytłumaczyć, bo jest cień szansy, że czegoś po prostu nie wiedzą, a o grze dowiedzieli się przez przypadek ("takie coś jak Pokemony?"). Ponoć są nowi, który myślą, że kesze się zabiera... Jak wytłumaczysz, a dalej będzie opór, to wtedy nie widzę przeszkód wobec gnojenia takiego osobnika
  15. Is it only me? This time API access seems to be down as well...
  16. It seems I was 5 mins late anyway. That's what you get for replying on the phone
  17. I think I know what are you lookimg for. In the "drawer" there is an icon with the magnifying glass called "where to" (translating from polish so the names might be different). You have several options there, including coordinates. Beware that the compass and the map will lead you to that coordinates, but the upper panel compass on the map will still lead you to the near cache if you are in the geocaching mode. I hope I described this clear enough.
  18. PQs generated by gc.com do have corrected coordinates and this works when I upload them via USB. They also do when I dwonload them directly to my app on my phone. Only garmin downloads starting coordinates...
  19. I received My Garmin 750 today, and the first thing I noticed is that after downloading a "PQ" and syncing it, all the puzzles still have their starting coordinats. Also selecting a cache from the map which I know I hace corrected coordinates (it's my own multi) shows the starting coords. Anyone knows what am I doing wrong? Such bug makes all the extra features I paid for useless. And yes, I did the software update.
  20. Hi all, only after I ordered a 750 I've found this thread with the discovery that PQs aren't really PQs on 750 when downloaded over WiFi. Has anything changed after the software updates or does the WiFi downloaded PQ still only contain headers and require Internet connection to download details (hint, listing few last logs)?
  21. The same error as the last time. This is a reoccuring error now and deserves investigation, not just service (IIS ?) reset...
  22. Working for me as well I work in IT so I understand it (although I don't work in on-call service). On the other hand this is a reocurring problem (we've seen the exact issue before) so someone should do an RCA and prevent it in future.
  23. I get Error 500 after logging in (tested on 2 devices)
  24. I almost never visit this subforum so I found this thread by accident. I love how the add to list functionality works right now. It's quick and allows you not to remember you have to add the cache to the list as the last action you want to perform (so e.g. you have to update coordinates or add notes prior adding to list or you'll have to navigate back). Previously adding to list meant navigating from the listing page (but yes, it gave the benefit of being able to comment). TBH I rarely use the comments in bookmarks as those arent available in the apps. If I have anything to remember I add ot to the comment on the listing page. I understand that some users have a specific way of composing lists which now has been made harder, but the fact that few of them are complaining here doesn't mean that that is the case with majority. The pleased ones just aren't looking for a place to complain. Of course it would be the best to please as much people as possible and the people writing here have their important contribution of providing feeedback, but please do not compromise the nice feature you already gave us. I hope some solution can be found that adds the features for speciffic needs without assuming that everyone needs them.
  25. No widać delikatną zmianę . A tak na serio, to za pierwszym razem poczułem się jak bym wszedł do panelu administracyjnego Office 365.
