+Tavisman Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) I have two questions... (1) Are Groundspeak going to introduce QR codes on their travel bug tags (will greatly help at Geocaching meets!), and, (2) Are there QR Code reader software available for Garmin Oregon's?

+BlueDeuce Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Function questions are best addressed in the Geocaching.com Web Site forum. You won't get the tech responses here. Link to comment

+Kalkendotters Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I have two questions... (1) Are Groundspeak going to introduce QR codes on their travel bug tags (will greatly help at Geocaching meets!), and, Probably not, z\since a TB code only has 6 chraracters, it will be more work to get your QC reader out, than to just jot it down with a pen (or even take a photo) (2) Are there QR Code reader software available for Garmin Oregon's? No; since none of the current GPSrs currently have a camera the changes of getting a QC decoder for them will be very close to zero. Link to comment
+ShowStop Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 (1) Are Groundspeak going to introduce QR codes on their travel bug tags (will greatly help at Geocaching meets!) Wow, just when I thought the horde of people writing down every TB number in sight at events couldn't get any worse, you propose this fancy solution? The whole point of events is for people to meet other geocachers, chat, have a good time, and exchange TBs. Not for somebody to camp out at the TB table and write down every TB number that passes by.

knowschad Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 (2) Are there QR Code reader software available for Garmin Oregon's? The Oregon doesn't have a camera. How is it going to read the barcode? Aside from that, I think it isn't a bad idea. I understand that the iPhone has readers for them that will translate the code to a URL and browse right to it. Link to comment
+Red 07Z Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 QR code is quite powerful, nearly every windows mobile device and many other devices can do QR code. I would love to see a QR code cache in my area... QR would be actually quite useful on travel bugs. Link to comment
