+The Flying Boots Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Sounds like great fun but will the software be available for "Palm" users in the future? I have posted the same question on the "where I go" forum topic for questions. Quote Link to comment
+scottpa100 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I doubt very much (speaking as a Palm user) that it will be available on the Palm OS. Most PDAs are Windows compatible PDAs. You spend your development money there. I think (could be incorrect here) that some of the later Palms used a Windows OS anyhow.... Quote Link to comment
+The Haywood Hornet Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Are there any plans for a demo in the UK, as in the events organised in the US? Quote Link to comment

+goldpot Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 ...whoa, looks like I will be able to lead fellow cachers up the garden path! Will it also mean that there will be many 'Marios' running around? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mario2.png Quote Link to comment
+The Cache Hoppers Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) Wonder who will get the first one out? Rodz already has one out, and its been found, but at the moment it is showing as mystery cache with a blue question mark. I just tried a dummy run setting up a new listing and it shows the new Wherigo icon, so maybe Rodz just needs to change his listing to show the new icon and for finders to have the new icon in their finds list.

+The Other Stu Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I was wondering what the commercial viability was with this..... It appears that some of these are going to cost!!! http://www.Wherigo.com/cartridge/details.a...ce-4333dd34db04 Look down the left hand side: Price=Free for this one! Quote Link to comment

Maybe that is why Groundspeak have been getting fussy with the commercial aspect of cache listings recently (I'm thinking off all the fuss over a menu link). Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) Wonder who will get the first one out? Rodz already has one out, and its been found, I set one up a year ago and it was found a couple of times, but it was in the "old" Wherigo format. I'll try to convert it to the new version - look out for it soon! Edited February 22, 2008 by Happy Humphrey Quote Link to comment

markandlynn Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Im converting one of our caches into one at the moment. Its workable as it stands but we dont want to release for the sake of releasing. Quote Link to comment

Well get on and get it sorted Now I've got the software downloaded and GPS connected to the right port I'm itching to try it out in the field. P Quote Link to comment
+purple_pineapple Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Out of interest, I believe this requires downloading additional software? I thought such caches were not allowed? I understand that caches requiring music playing software, Java -support, and so on were not publishable? Are we allowed these caches now? Just causing trouble! [] Dave Quote Link to comment
+Moote Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 What I can't understand is why the new Wherigo game allows you a smiley, but Waymarking does not! Quote Link to comment
+Alibags Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 What I can't understand is why the new Wherigo game allows you a smiley, but Waymarking does not! That's because you are finding a physical cache box at the end of it, whereas with Waymarking you are not. I suspect you would be able to set up virtual Wherigo packages (what do they call them? 'cassettes'?) as waymarks. Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I suspect you would be able to set up virtual Wherigo packages (what do they call them? 'cassettes'?) as waymarks. "Cartridges": but the icon is only for a Wherigo Geocache. I don't see why you can't set up a combined Wherigo /waymark but I don't quite see the point either. What I can't understand is why the new Wherigo game allows you a smiley, but Waymarking does not! See here: we'll have a profile covering both games; "I will say that the most common complaint about Waymarking is that it is a "different site." "I don't have enough time to visit 2 sites" is a common response. Well, the new architecture will support both Geocaches and Waymarks together. What does this mean? After Phoenix launches you will be able to see caches on both Geocaching.com and Waymarking.com and choose whether you want to be a Geocacher or a Waymarker or both (or neither. You can be a Historical Marker-er if you want)" Quote Link to comment

That's because you are finding a physical cache box at the end of it, whereas with Waymarking you are not. I accept your answer to a point, but Earthcaches are settable, loggable and they give you a smiley, but there is never a box at the end of them,so I think Groundspeak just have duel standards. I know that It would only take a small bit of code for them to add the Waymarking totals to a players Caching / Wherigo stats. Quote Link to comment

+The Cache Hoppers Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I think the majority of us just are not interested in Waymarking which IMHO is a load of bunkum, but this new thing looks great fun and I can't wait to get started! *dons fire suit* Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I think the majority of us just are not interested in Waymarking which IMHO is a load of bunkum, Virtual / locationless caches are never going to be everyone's cup of tea, so I respect your choice to ignore these types. There's no rule that if you like one GPS-based game that you have to like them all! I suppose that we'll soon get people complaining that Wherigo caches are impossible for those without the required equipment. At least this cache type can be excluded from Pocket Query results.

+mongoose39uk Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Not this old nugget of trying to flog Waymarking as vicruals and locationless. There is a Waymarking forum for Waymarking! What this thread is about is a Wherigo hybrid!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please if you want to discuss how Waymarking is a virtual/locationless cache open a thread for that so I can bung it on an ignore Quote Link to comment

Please if you want to discuss how Waymarking is a virtual/locationless cache open a thread for that so I can bung it on an ignore I merely answered the points raised by Moote and Cache Hoppers about virtual/locationless/waymark (whatever you like to call them) caches in relation to the new Wherigo type: and went on to speculate that there will soon be threads complaining about Wherigo just like there are threads complaining about virtuals, locationless, and/or waymarks.

+The Other Stu Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 The way I see it is that there are 2 types of Wherigo. The ones with a cache at the end (in which case you get a number and a smiley) and the ones without (most of these are like virtuals and/or offline puzzles). Quote Link to comment
