On a recent geocaching / kayaking trip I fear that I accidently dropped a TB from my gear. I notified the owner of the bug and apologized, but now I want to be able to record the little fellows misfortune. How do I record that this little bug's journey has ended? Currently, the logs list it as being in my hands.

I recently purchased a MicroSD Card (Europe City NT) for my Garmin eTrex HCx. I thought I would be able to install the software on my home PC or laptop to manage waypoints, creating routes and save tracks. I have the trip and waypoint manager and use the Canadian Topo Series on my PC. I am assuming that I messed up by puchasing the Micro SD Card if I wanted to have the maps on my laptop correct? My Topo maps came on a series of CDs so I am wondering if that means there is a difference in how the software operates. If so, is there any other software (other than another $299 for the MapSource CD) that I can use on my PC and upload to the GPS? I see Google Earth Plus has a GPS interface but I don't think you can upload. Expensive lesson! Appreciate any suggestions.

I found a GeoNUT and Travel Bug today in 2 seperate caches. I logged the finds on Geocaching.com. I can read the logs, but they don't appear on the log pages of the TB's. My entries don't show up on the recent log list for TB either. What did I do wrong?

Thanks everyone. I downloaded GSAK and Cachemate for my Palm T|X and it worked fantastic. EXACTLY what I was hoping for. I see the Premium Membership fee will pay off pretty quickly since you can download a number (up to 500) of cache pages at once. I really like the log features in Cachemate in addition to being able to sort and manage the GC pages using GSAK. What I was paying for paper and ink will certainly offset the cost of buying both programs. A bargain. Thanks again.

I started Geocaching several weeks ago and have been successful in finding a few around my home town. I managed to figure out how to download the waypoints onto my Garmin using EasyGPS and feel pretty comfortable with that aspect of it. The GC pages seem to contain a lot more information (description, type of cache, hints etc). I've gotten into the habit of printing those pages out and carrying them with me to refer to and organize them into different areas. Aside from killing a bunch of trees, it seems to be a very unpractical way to go about this since there are days when I'd just like to go out for a hunt, and don't have the cache details for the places I am visiting. I signed up as a Premium member thinking there would be some way to save all this information on my Palm or Garmin, however I haven't figured it out yet. Do other people bother taking the cache pages, or do you just work from the waypoint downloads? Thanks, Alan
