I'm new to using a phone. I'm back to caching after some years. I got the premium membership yet wondering why I wasted the time .. Is there a class on this. Is there a place where I can talk to a person? Is there someone who can talk to me like a three year old without a phone.. I don't understand the lingo..of the phone.. pinch, blahhhh.. Isthere anyone near who can help me/ I'm going to quit due to no events...no where to learn no emails answered .. I'm aggravated as hell. I'mplanning a month in advance and I can't get anyone to show me the ropes.. I probalby won't even be able to find this page again. Been asking for a week and now have three weeks until schedule departure. Does anyone have the time , energy to help me.. I never knew I have to be an expert on the laptop and phone to play a game that is outdorors.. smh. I'll have to find something else.. I'm so tired of it.

Thank you all for responding to my post. From reading these forums, I thought naively, like a Field of Dreams, that if I put great caches in amazing places, they would come. My friend (actually, she's my daughter) and I often work together on caches and we have several collaborations that I am proud of. I used the Nature Preserve as an example because I follow both caches and the difference is stark. I think I just needed to know that it is normal and dedicated COs care lovingly for caches that others rarely visit, and thats ok. So thanks for the pep talk. I'll keep hiding caches that I would like to find in amazing places I would like to share. And go search for that ammo box in the woods you've been thinking about. It will remind you of why you started this hobby while you make some COs day.

i would contact the cache reviewer for your area. each reviewer has quirks they allow and dont. they should be able to help you with the rules. the one major rule i see is no caches on school property. the other would be the amount of gps's needed to accomodate that many people and to have to explain to that many people how to program coords into an infinite variety of gps's that would be there. we helped with one a few years ago and these are just a few ideas. sounds like it would be fun though. have you been to any geocache events/meetings? maybe talk to a few local cachers and get there 2 cents. they might want to help thats how we got into ours. cache on

Can CO have too many caches?
Davros Von Skaro replied to Davros Von Skaro's topic in General geocaching topics
Thanks everyone. I guess I was aggravated but mostly curious if there was an unwritten code of cacheing conduct. The trail spans 4 towns so far and there is talk of extending it all the way to Lake Michigan. It has been fun biking and cacheing. I just feel like it's less than courteous to span a trail the distance of 2 towns with what appears to be lesser caches when there are many others who would like to place a hide. -
Can CO have too many caches?
The A-Team replied to Davros Von Skaro's topic in General geocaching topics
I'm curious why you would consider quitting the game just because someone hid a bunch of caches along a trail. You already said you weren't planning on hiding any caches there, so what part of it do you feel has impacted you to the extent that you would consider walking away? I would genuinely like to know. The answer to this will probably vary depending on the region and community. Around here, we don't have a lot of places where you could do something like this simply due to the terrain and type of environment. In general, cachers around here don't hide more caches than they can maintain, with the odd and expected exceptions. They could talk to the CO and see if they could cooperate on hiding caches along the trail. If they only wanted to hide a cache or two, they could contact the CO and see if they can leave a few spots open. This varies depending on the person and region, so there isn't a way to give a specific number. In a desert environment, a retired cacher could realistically hide a huge number of caches that require little to no maintenance, and would have enough time to maintain the ones that do. In an environment that has snow on the ground for half a year, a working cacher could realistically hide and maintain a smaller number of caches that would require more maintenance and have less time to do so. There are many other factors at play, too. If these caches are all being hidden by one CO, you could set up a filter on your email to filter out emails that contain the string "Created by: [insert CO name here]", which would be present on any of the publication emails for that CO's caches. If the caches are all part of a series with a common element in the name, you could filter on that too. My suggestion is to not get too worked up about what others are doing. Everyone caches for different reasons and in different ways. Some like to hide lots of caches and find few, some hide few and find lots, and many other combinations in between. As long as someone else's play doesn't directly affect you, try not to let it get to you. -
Introducing Virtual Rewards!
NYPaddleCacher replied to Geocaching HQ's topic in General geocaching topics
Clever. Get any "interesting" images of others "posing" for the camera? I've only done a few webcams. On a couple I self captured an image. For the one at the Alamo I called my wife and she captured the photo. I don't know if it had more charm but it was nice to talk to my wife while standing in front of the web cam. -
Hello I am an old new player, I love the Trackables attached to things and I really think the GeoCoin is amazing! When you find a Geocoin (I have not yet) you catch and release but i was with some one and i sure wanted to keep that coin, im sure we all do at time, so do players save this find? a personal photos? or is the trackable page on GC enough for everyone? I heard on a podcast people keep books but I am not sure what that means. Also in regards to coins when i hear people collect them they are purchasing and keeping I assume or are there coins in the wild intended to keep? I personally got a retried geocachers possessions and they had 3 new First to FInd Coins. One of them is trackable. How do I use this, Is it registered and given to the first person who finds and thats it or does it move on? or is that mainly a personal keep coin since i actually own it? I have a Few sets of tags and I cannot wait to set them in the wild, i would prefer that they are only logged by people who find them then just discover them via an internet leak, is this something I should bother being concerned about? Thank you I appreciate the discussion and the oppertunty to talk about these things, its really not nice out side deep snow and cold here so when the spring comes I want to be ready to produce quality caches and ensure I am caching trackables and other longs properly and fully. I appreciate you time in clearing this up for me i find a conversation and taking a seperate chat is very helpful and while im talking on it i get some great dialogue and learn better terms to search more specifics

My log from 01/06/2016 was also deleted, more than two years after the Picture Taken log was posted. Like Réd I don't recall that the name of the cache included the admonition "(NO photo across the road!)." I also don't recall the big pictures and arrows being on the cache page, but heck, we were geocaching via iPhone 4. Those are some pretty small screens. If we had seen it we definitely would have taken note. Unlike Réd, I did receive some responses from the CO. His first response was, "Having to be fair to everyone we had to delete over 20 logs." Based on the maintenance log he left on the site he claims, "Upon back-checking it was found that logs were submitted by other means possibly by cellphones or apps that did not show up in e-mails to be reviewed therefore bypassing our 'Reviewer' for Webcams and EarthCaches." In other words, every one of those who submitted a log with a picture taken across the street must have cheated the system, preventing him from the opportunity to delete the log when it was first posted. I posted from my iPhone while at the Webcam. My dad posted that evening from his iPod back at the hotel. My sister posted that evening from her laptop back at the hotel. The CO's second response was, "Actually there were a few that posted Notes and MUCH later changed them to "Found" - I only check the ones I have coming in by e-mail. I have only this one on record from you http://coord.info/GC3E9QK" In other words, he has accused me of posting a Write Note that bypassed the system and prevented him from being able to review, then MUCH later changing the log to a "Found" log. He lies. I questioned his idea of fairness, saying that I could see him deleting logs the same day or even within a week. Swift action give cachers a chance to rectify the problem. But to delete them 2+ years after the fact? There is no fairness in that! His response was, "Geocache Description: As of the 4th of July 2013." I appealed to him that he should show some reason with this, that I (and my dad and sister) had planned and executed milestones over the last two years, and this specious action on his behalf has a ripple effect. It has (1) caused the log of Mingo to not be a milestone for either my sister or myself, and (2) caused the qualifying milestone caches (Mega, Webcam, Virtual, and Event) I had executed for 9- and 10-icon milestone challenges to no longer align. If these challenge cache owners decide to check my qualifiers now (apparently there is no statute of limitations) they can also delete my logs for these caches. The description of Webcam Caches that appears on the Geocaching.com website says in part, "The idea is to get yourself in front of the camera and save a screen capture from the website where the camera is displayed in order to log a find." When first published the logging requirements for this Webcam Cache was precisely that: "Get your picture taken by the camera and post it online." According to the cache page, on July 4, 2013 the CO added an Additional Logging Requirement -- One has to stand in a particular area of the camera for the "Best place for a photo that even your mother would recognize." For what purpose? The CO isn't going to recognize me. And the ironic thing is that the CO includes a picture as an example of where to stand, but the subjects aren't even standing in the place he says people should stand... on the sidewalk! Talk about your mixed messages! Is it kosher to change the logging requirements on a retired cache type to something other than what geocaching.com says is the "idea"?

What if the owner says "Yeah, I drilled into the tree." Then what would your response be? Well, I wouldn't have brought it up to begin with, but if you're asking the CO because you feel strongly about drill holes, then I assume that response wouldn't satisfy you (assuming it didn't include an explanation for why the reviewer approved it despite the drilling), so then you'd talk to a reviewer.

You plug it into the computer via the USB cable and if it shows up as a mounted drive, it's talking to your computer. Now, it may not "talk" to websites because today's browsers don't support the communicator plugin. But geocaches are downloaded as gpx files and simply go in the <device name or drive letter>/Garmin/GPX folder. You can do this individually from each cache page by clicking on the "download GPX" button, but I recommend that you download caches in bulk using pocket queries and/or lists. Additionally, some folks find it useful to manage geocaches with a 3rd party program such as GSAK (windows) or iCaching (mac). Both programs will also let you bulk-import and update caches with pocket query downloads and direct API access. They'll also bulk load the caches onto your GPS, including using the GGZ format, which can make your GPS load and run faster when loading tens of thousands of caches. The point is that the geocaches are just files stored on your device, and your GPS, when plugged into the computer, will connect as if it were an external hard drive or thumb drive. You can read and write to it accordingly. The "Send to GPS" button used to automate that process using the now defunct communicator plugin, but it's just as easy to download files and save them directly to your GPS.

Hey, all! Many several years ago, I purchased an eTrex GPS and found it relatively easy to use. Once I figured out geocaching for my iPhone, I put the Garmin away. About six months ago, I decided that the Garmin might be a better bet than my iPhone (not that I'm complaining, but I don't know exactly what to do about caching with my phone if I don't have cell service), so I dragged out the Garmin. It was in no shape to be used, so I permanently retired it and, after some research, purchased an Oregon 650t. It looks so cool and I had such high hopes, but, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get it to talk to either of my computers. Both are less than two years old, so all specs are up to date, and I've downloaded the required thingy from Garmin several times, but NOTHING IS WORKING. So my question- since I can't get the crazy thing to work with my computer, can I just put coords in manually? And can I use the blasted thing in remote places like Rocky Mtn NP, Yellowstone, Glacier NP, etc, that have little to no cell service? Sorry for the long-winded post, but I'd sure appreciate any help anyone can provide. Thanks!! Lolli

HI I am having issues getting the software to download to safari in High Sierra OS so that i can get the GPS to load some 'send to GPS' caches. I would prefer to use a GPS as i'm eating through data and am not finding thee iPhone i have to be accurate. Any ideas on how to get the Mac and the Garmin Etrex to talk? cheers claire

I see no reason to think it would make any difference at all whether the caches are disabled or archived. Either way, it's two less caches for your hotel friend to find. You assume that if the disabled caches are archived, two new caches will pop up in their place, but I don't see that happen. Too often when I hear people arguing for fixing caches as soon as possible instead of leaving them disabled, I realize their arguments are really supporting the idea that more caches should be planted. After all, your specific complaint is that your hotel friend doesn't have enough caches to find. That could be solved as easily by you planting new caches as by that other CO fixing his old caches. Disabled caches are just special cases of non-existent caches -- they are non-existent caches that, nevertheless, have an identity and location -- but too often people think of disabled caches as a special case of existing caches. If they existed, they wouldn't be disabled. If you're worried about specific locations that must always have an available cache, then the solution isn't a general purpose way of dealing with bad COs or a CO score that helps automatically identify problems; the solution is to talk to the CO and explain why you think there needs to be a cache there pronto and volunteer to plant one if he wants to archive his. In most cases, though, there's no rush, which is why you don't do that every time someone disables a cache.

Surely there has to come a point?
dprovan replied to Team Microdot's topic in General geocaching topics
There's a lot to like about this post, but at the same time, I'm a little worried about this description of "get involved" being very close to "call in the cops". Yes, get involved, but first get involved with each other. If you receive a nasty response to an NM, the first thing you should do is ask the CO why he's being nasty when you're just trying to help him out. Our first goal should be to make bad COs better, not to immediately jump to calling in GS to spank them. I can't help but think that at least some of the shouts of "cache cop!" are caused by a CO having a bad day and being unnecessarily short with someone and finding themselves called on the carpet about it without any chance to talk it over with the hurt party. -
Waymarkers Meet and Greet Event
MountainWoods replied to 8Nuts MotherGoose's topic in General Waymarking Topics
Before would be okay with me. But by the way, after I typed my last response, it occurred to me that the main thing I was looking for is for all of us to meet up at the same time, and that the place does not really matter. We could meet at your event table, as long as we all shoot for a specific time, like noon. At that point, we could all kinda figure out which way to go from there to sit down and talk. Might even be in a break room at the event or something. Again, just some ideas. A dinner would be nice, but if it's a pain, we just shoot for the "meet at the table at time X" thing. Is there a cost associated with going to the existing event where your table is? If so, being Scottish, I would like to avoid paying a fee just to get all of us together at the same time; if possible. (We could just go with the restaurant meet thing and get something for our bucks.) If the event is free, we could meet at the table and go from there. -
Old vlogg with english subtitles, and this one i will talk a little bit of my self

I was going to point out that approach in my original post, but I started laughing too hard, so I left it out. I was even going to talk about creating a sockpuppet account to do it by myself...except lists are a premium feature, so I'd have to pay for my sockpuppet. An easier workaround would be as follows, which is what I used to do to 'copy' a bookmark list created by someone else. It can be used to copy your own list, although having a Copy button on owned lists would be better: View the other List and click "Create Pocket Query". Schedule that PQ to run. View that PQ on the map using the official app (Lists --> View on Map). Zoom out a bit, select "Add all to List", and create a new list. No need for a second account, but does require using both the website and official app.

I find the OP to be missing the point - and the fun - of geocaching. Of course people want to read about the caching adventures of others. You may an exception, but whenever I talk to cache owners, they universally tell me that getting nice long longs is part of their motivation for placing caches. This is even more true for those who place quality caches. It is that nice little reward that comes into my inbox every so often that brings a smile and encourages me to place another one. I used to place a lot more caches, but when people stopped writing decent logs and instead "TFTC" started showing up, I cut way back. I agree with the responder who said he considers that an insult to the cache owner. If someone gets tick bites or poison oak or disturbs a neighbor when searching for my cache, I want to know about it. I may be able to change the location a bit or maybe even archive the cache if I think it's a serious problem that can't be remedied.

Hi all, I'd like to ask some questions down this line if I may? I'd particularly value Australian perspectives on them. My wife, stepsons and I started geocaching about 18 months ago and while I wouldn't call us addicts, gee we enjoy it when we do it! To date, we've used my wife's smart phone - my phone isn't on a data plan, and I sense that my wife's phone's GPS isn't quite what it could be. So, Australian geocachers, there seems to be a bit of talk here about GPS units. I've never used one, so I'm very green on that front. If we decided to buy a GPS unit purely for geocaching purposes, what would be the advantage over a smart phone - simply that it's a smidge more accurate? How much does a GPS (not top of the range for our occasional use) cost? And I would presume that there would be some form of data usage, so what do people find are their ongoing costs? And where do you buy them?! They might be basic questions to you, but they're biggies for us! Thank you to whoever reads this and chooses to respond! BJ (and Tara)

Dealing with “driving directions” that lead to tresspass.
dprovan replied to Doc_musketeers's topic in How do I...?
This is perfect. As I was reading over this, I could see that everyone's making good suggestions, but mostly they're all ways to avoid the basic problem of people looking for caches without either using their heads or reading the description. If they'd done either, they wouldn't end up in the trailer park. Since the person affected is your friend, perhaps this would be a perfect chance to teach some people a lesson. Regardless of any mitigation you do based on suggestions here, talk it over with your friend and give him a plan for dealing with interlopers when he spots them. I mean, just basically coming out and demonstrate his understanding of the problem and pointing out the results could have been much worse if someone else owned the trailer park would be good, but personally, I'd encourage him to have fun with it, even putting the fear of the lord into people's hearts first before letting them off the hook by talking to them about what they did wrong. There's no real solution to this problem other than not putting a cache there, but perhaps you and your friend could use the challenge to make the world a better place. If you want. -
I guess my cases are unique in that I do maintain other abandon caches from time to time and my brother likes to suggest the hide and read the logs but not go out and find them! I should probably just use my id for those and let him watch! I just find it wrong to use not logging on as a criteria for Needs Archive- I prefer if you have an interest in the cache just shoot me an email and we will talk and resolve the issue! The reason I adopt without permission is to preserve the great logs and fun times had with a very worthy cache! I can't be the only one out there that is entertained with others experiences and especially with highly expressive logs! Some are just great! A good cache should have a life of it own and if abandoned there should be a way to adopt it thru the reviewer and preserve the great logs and history of the cache! The Box is not near as important as the experiences we all share playing this game. It is just totally great!

I just got "bitten" by this bug. Someone asked me for links to interesting caches, I sent two GC codes (typed into the message as GC codes only, i.e. no URLs) ... and later we found out, that the message was totally screwed up . The text showed the same GC code in all places, and the (auto-generated) links all pointed to a different cache. Are cachers supposed to actually talk about geocaching when using the Message Center? If so, fixing this bug would be a great idea . Thank you!
