+Bolling Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I'm sure this has probably been discussed before, but I didn't see it in a search. I found myself out in an area I didn't anticipate yesterday, and I didn't have any caches loaded in my GPSr (it only holds 500). I thought, gee, I know where I am, and I have a cell phone. Wouldn't it be convenient to send a text message to geocaching.com and get an automatic response with nearby caches and descriptions. This would be a great premium member feature.

djstretch Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 you can have notifications setup up if your a premium member go to my account on right hand side you will see Set Up Notifications there you can set up a notification for new listings most cell phones have an email address for them, check with your carrier right now i get a notification for each new cache within 5 miles of my house be careful because in my case for each new cache i get 4 text messages if you have to pay for incoming messages you may not want to do this if you have alot of new caches all the time, it could be costly to your cell bill if you have a blackberry, treo, q, or other data device then just have it go to your email I do wish that it would send the coordinates so i could go ahead and load them Hope this helps Quote Link to comment
+Bolling Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 you can have notifications setup up if your a premium member go to my account on right hand side you will see Set Up Notifications there you can set up a notification for new listings Thanks. I'm not referring to notifications for new caches. I meant finding out about existing caches in an area without requiring web access. Quote Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 The WAP site is the answer. Caches by text message are not likely to happen. TPTB want you to get all the information from the cache page. Quote Link to comment
