Also ich halte nichts davon. Ich mache sowohl einen schönen Multi, als auch einen Powertrail gerne. Und solche PTs mit 50 bis 200 oder sogar mehr Caches würde es dann nicht mehr geben. (Kommt natürlich auf das Limit an, was du setzten wollen würdest). Diese schönen Radtouren würden mir fehlen. Sicherlich mag nicht jeder gerne PTs, aber denen, die diese gerne machen, sollte die Möglichkeit meiner Meinung nach erhalten bleiben.

There's a lot. Really active folks. One local friend travels regularly across the US, and hits other countries in-between. They might be a few months behind numerous times, maybe depending on whether there's an interesting person in flight. Started before us, has over 20,000 finds, almost 200 hides, and it doesn't look like there's any signs of quitting...

As it is a milestone for me I thought that it is time to update my stats. I now have 200 First-Category-Post-in-a-Country waymarks (Copyright by fi67 ). That's more than double of what I had 3 years ago. Also, due to our travels of the last few years, the number of different countries has increased from 9 to 15. The 200 waymarks per country: Austria - 113 Albania - 6 Bosnia and Herzegovina - 4 Croatia - 2 Hungary - 1 Italy - 1 Monaco - 14 Montenegro - 2 North Macedonia - 21 Norway - 2 Poland - 1 Serbia - 19 Slovakia - 4 Slovenia - 1 Sweden - 9 With these 200 waymarks I covered 183 different categories, which means that there are a few categories, where I have the first waymark in different countries. For example, I have the first "Official Local Tourism Attractions" waymark in Bosnia & Herzegovina, North Macedonia and Serbia.

Well, I tested the two sites and I can confidently say that Geocaching Toolbox is incorrect. By a surprising amount. The Dutch site agrees exactly with my calculations. Interestingly, the Geocaching Toolbox result is not the spherical-Earth approximation. It is just wrong.

On April 30, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands will be followed up by her son Willem-Alexander. Also at the end of the year we will celibrate the 200th anniversary of the kingdom of the Netherlands. A geocoin has been designed for these occasions. The price of the coin will be € 9,50 (incl 21% VAT, VAT will be removed when delivering outside the EU). The coin has 6 gemstones on the front. Size: 45 mm There are four versions: antique bronze, antique silver, polished gold and satin gold. The geocoin is trackable via geocaching.com and has its own icon: You can now make a reservation here. The coins will be available by the end of april.

Me too! I went out to a park that I've been scoping out on the map with the intent to get 8 so I could finally get to 200. I think I found 14. I actually heard about it from a coworker who knows I go geocaching. Apparently it was mentioned on the local news because we landed a mega event, GeoWoodstock XIX - 2023. I might have to attend that, the only other event I have attended was a CITO a few years ago.

Been caching for a while and I'm just starting to hide some caches. I borrowed a friends Oregon 300 to hide a series of 6 cashes and it worked quite well. Unfortunately I don't have $350 to spend on a new gpsr . I'm looking for something under $200.00 that I can use for finding and hiding caches. What's my best option?

(emphasis by me) Out of curiosity, I just scrolled through the latest ~200 or so logs on the cache. The vast majority of "finders" blatantly ignore one or more of the logging requirements. Almost always the "revisit", quite often the "local place", and sometimes even the very basic requirement of telling where the photo was shot. ... all of which is just as I expected .

Moin, Unterordner sollten kein Problem sein. Wenn ich meine Pocket-Query ziehe, dann habe ich eine Datei "PQ-Name.zip", die ich immer in den gpx-Ordner direkt runterlade. Danach entpacke ich sie direkt in den Ordner ("hier entpacken") oder auch in den Unterordner "PQ-Name", den mir mein zip-Programm vorschlägt, wenn ich "entpacken nach" wähle. Egal, ob die beiden gpx-Dateien anschließend im Hauptordner "gpx" oder im Unterordner liegen, die PQ ist drauf. Kannst du beides mal ausprobieren, BlueStone, wichtig ist auf jeden Fall, dass du eine PQ immer entpackst, weil die als zip heruntergeladen wird, auf dem Gerät aber die beiden (!) gpx-Dateien (Caches plus Wegpunkte) entpackt liegen müssen. Ich gehe übrigens davon aus, dass die Anzahl der Geocaches/Wegpunkte, die das Gerät handeln kann, wie bei allen Etrex eingeschränkt ist, zumindest wenn man Listing und Logs und so haben möchte, das, was in der PQ mitgeliefert wird. Das sind meistens so um die 2000 (plusminus!?) Caches, die locker für normales Cachen reichen (keine Sorge). Diese vielen Caches sind immer ein anderes Format (loc? oder sowas?!), was nicht das ist, was du willst. Aber 200.000 vorinstallierte halte ich sowieso für völligen Blödsinn - was will man mit 200.000 Caches in den USA, wenn man in Buxtehude cachen möchte, zumal die Caches sicher nicht aktuell sind?! Sollten diese vorinstallierten Caches der wichtigste Kaufgrund gewesen sein, schick das Gerät zurück wegen fälschlicher Beschreibung. Wenn du aber ein solides Gerät haben willst und kein Problem damit hast, selbst Caches per PQ aufzuspielen (das ist kinderleicht, wenn man es ein paar Mal gemacht hat), dann fährst du mit einem Etrex sicher ziemlich gut! Herzliche Grüße Jochen

Your list is missing a virtual Are those other event types not available on August 13th when you could get the giga and theoretically get 16+lab? 13 + lab is the highest that has been possible in Finland so around 200 cachers have that. A handful have done 14 + lab somewhere abroad.

A friend of mine is having problems with his GPSMAP62ST. He went on a hike up around Bumping Lake (Washington State) and had between 20-200 feet difference on his track. The 62 is set to true north. I can see 10-20 feet difference but 200 plus feet on a hike. This is on a road or improved path and not bushwacking. The path is on the base map that came with the 62. It is up to date and the compass is always calibrated. The compass is set to auto so I don't know if that would cause that much of a difference. Any ideas?

I've been seeing this a few times recently ... still. I try to avoid it by reloading an refreshing a couple of times and seeing if the results are different, but that sometimes doesn't catch it. Again, I just composed a bunch of drafts, reloaded the page, and 4 more for that date I just completed appeared. Now my logging order is messed up again. Why must drafts be a lazy load? Why can't they just all all the items on one page load to ensure none are 'missing'? It's not a complex query, and how often do users have say more than 1-200 drafts to compose? (I know it happens, as I do occasionally, but in the grand scheme, that page has got to be far from a heavy server load) It's quite annoying "missing" drafts while composing sequentially.

How do I find a specific cache? One of the puzzles in my area asks that I find the latitude of the 200,000the hidden cache according to this web site and another being the coords for the 500,000th. I don't know the name of these caches or who hid them. I've tried searching for the number but it's not listed as a number - I suppose it had an actual name - I checked the history of geocaching in the learning section and found nothing there either. Is there anywhere where this could be listed or where I could find the info on the web page - I searched the forums but it's not listed there either - how can I find this?

I have had this same discussion with Garmin. It Starts getting so slow since SW version 2.7. With introducing the 4. digit after the dash. It was also suggested to use smaler files with less waypoints. (max 200 waypoints.) only one file. Start using GGZ while this is not handy especially on events where GPX files are exchanged. Garmin says it is not facing that problem (They do not use so many waypoints for testing. This same occurs at the GPSMAP 65 and GPSMAP 66 and those are newer models. The problem still persists. Garmnin [ Edited for profanity: "cares little" ] about it. Moderator note: Please review the forum rules about family friendly language. Continued infractions can lead to a ban.

A rose by any other name... Cantons, departments, parishes, governorates, etc. are the administrative equivalents of states or provinces, so no problem there. Officers of the proposed category only need to be aware of the administrative level of the entity submitted in order to ascertain its admissibility. Again, no problem, beyond a category officer's obligation to become intimately familiar with the administrative structure of some 200+ countries. No problem... ... BUT I understand there's more than one Wiki for that. EX: Wiki1 - - - Wiki2 Then there's the wind, or lack thereof. Keith

Hi, I'm taking a 4 day cycle tour. I want to be able to save trip data from my garmin each day for a daily record. However, I also want a cummalitive total of data for all the days, as well, to upload to Garmin Connect at the end. Is this possible ? I can't get my head round how to do it. Any ideas? May thanks Martyn

I have a Bushnell Onix 200 Color that I would like to sell or Trade for a Maggellan or Garmin Etrex. I know these Bushnells got a bad wrap but once I studied the books, it worked OK for me. I found it at first to be a bit confusing but after I got used to it, the software worked ok for me. With todays technology and simplicity of newer GPSs, the old timer Handhelds are a bit cumbersome. I downloaded GPSBabel and found it easy to work with the software that came with the Bushnell. Having the GC site up and downloading the caches, then using GPSBabel to convert into the Busnell software, It downloadeds right into the unit. The accuracy I have to say I found very good once in the field. I had my iphone app up in one hand and the onix in the other (paint that picture in your head) and both were right on. One thing I noticed right out of the box is the Onix found satilites right from my couch in me house. That impressed me. Anyway, please do not consider buying or trading if you are not one for digging in and really figuring these out. At first I fumbled over the menus and software but stuck with it and had good luck with this. Why am I getting rid of this? I use mostly my iphone now and want to trade for a simple unit so I can teach my grandchild the hobby. This Onix is above her head in learning I do have to admit. It comes with the software, book, and USB cable interface. The unit is in great condition cosmetically. I can send pictures if you are interested. I would rather trade this than sell it. Thanks for reading and if you are interesated and have any questions, please ask. I would like a clean and friendly exchange.

Morning, yesterday i visited a graveyard. I noticed that only a few gravestones were older than ap. 200 years. 1300 graves -> only about 5 older than 200 years. It would make sense to waymark them because often the really old ones decompose within time, so pictures and names are away. I'm doing genealogical researches for my family, so having dates from old graves online would be great. Perhaps there is a category for them yet? Cheers lumbricus

I am considering purchasing an Oregon 200. I have searched and read the threads here, the wiki faq on the Oregon, and the Garmin Oregon manual pdf. I've read the difference between the 200 and the 300 is the 200 doesn't have the electronic compass, altimeter, audio tones, wireless communication, NMEA serial communication, or alarm clock. And the 200 has the 24MB internal compared to the much larger of the 300 or 400 series. I have a few remaining questions on the 200: 1. Is there tide info on the 200? If so, is it using the tidal charts from the map "GPSMAP 16/168 Tide Points" from the dowloaded "RecommendedMapSourceUSTidesSoftware.exe" file? Does it show the same info as in Mapsource using this map (Tide Prediction window)? Does it show the tidal graph? 2. With Topo 2008 loaded on to a 200 does the 3-D view work (using DEM I believe it's called)? Does it look as good as the 400T, or the 300 loaded with Topo 2008? 3. Is there shaded relief of terrain using the 2-D looking-straight-down-from-above view on the 200 (standard map view)? 4. For the gps compass (non electric compass that it doesn't have), how much do I need to be moving for it to give me a compass reading? Is walking 5-10 feet (2-4 steps) enough to get a useful reading? Is walking a fast enough rate of movement to get quick and useful readings? I understand the advantage of the electric compass is it works when you aren't moving, but if the gps compass works by just moving a short distance on foot then it's probably adequate. (I realize this has been covered a lot and people have differing opinions) 5. Even though there is no altimeter on the 200, does it have the "Elevation Plot" page using the gps readings (instead of altimeter readings)? If not, is there a way to review a track/route's elevation changes over time/distance (like the track profile, or vertical profile of routes on the 60csx)? 6. Using the altimeter as a barometer to predict the weather. Has anyone done this? Does it work well? Seems like it could be neat and fun if it worked. 7. For the sun/moon page, does it give the location of the sun/moon in the sky, or where it will rise on the horizon the way the 60csx does (like the "Celestial Information" window in Mapsource)? Does the 200 do the "animate moon phases" like the 60csx? Thanks in advance for the help!

Today, we released another set of small improvements to the Search Results experience: Players can now add 1000 caches to Lists Without any sub-selection applied, the default button now shows “Add 1000 to List” With the select-all box checked, the button reflects the total results of the page, e.g. "Add 200 to List" With a sub-selection checked, the button reflects the number of selected items, e.g "Add 1 to List" We’ve updated the cache type icon size and overall padding on the page. This reduces row height and prevents the checkboxes from bleeding into the background. We’ve updated some page styles to better reflect default, hover, focused, and disabled element states: Filter button "Learn more" links Add to List button Map geocaches button Column headers Cache Title Favorite point numbers Trackable numbers Part of a GeoTour icon

Hi all, i am looking for one bed/bench/whatever for sleeping and not to be staying outside during nights. I will land the 6.8. in Seattle. Perhaps someone has a tipp for me, where to search for it. The 2 hostels i found on hostelworld are fully booked And Booking.com started around 200$ the night. The 8. my plan is to go to Vancover via Greyhoundbus 12.8. back to Seattle. Many thanks in advance. Michael/Mikkky from Germany.

Hi Kveldulfir, hätte ja auf ein evtl. lokales Problem am Rechner (Browser, Browser-Plugin, Security Suite etc.) getippt, aber da es ja scheinbar geräteübergreifend auch Deine Smartphone-Apps betrifft, hört es sich eher nach einem Netz-Problem (Router oder Provider) an . Treten die Probleme Smartphone nur bei Nutzung Deines WLAN oder auf auch über einen Mobilfunkbetreiber auf? Gruß Hendrik PS: Dein tracert sagt aus, dass innerhalb von 170 Millisekunden eine Verbindung zur www.geocaching.com unter der IP-Adresse 63.251.163.200 aufgebaut werden konnte.
