+Jeep4two Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Yep - need to be a premium member. Sometimes $30 for a year sounds like a lot of $$ to lay out if you aren't sure you'll stick with it. Here's what you get that I find very valuable: First, notifications of new caches based on criteria that you specifiy - I have mine set on new within 50 miles. Next, Pocket Queries. These allow you to get up to 500 caches in a single search e-mailed to you in GPX format ready to send to your GPS using one of many tools out there (GSAK, EasyGPS, Mapsource, etc.). Finally the satisfaction that you are supporting the game and website. Just in case you recently purchased a Garmin unit, you can get a free 30 day trial premium membership. Just go to www.geocaching.com/garmin/freetrial.aspx I used the 30 day trial (with my new Oregon) and then found that I could also use it with my older Legend as well. When those expired I gladly ponied up the $30 to continue having access to the notifications and pocket queries. It will be hard to get a FTF in a high population area without notifications. Quote
