Receive Cords in Notification Text

[+Wolfpack414]

I currently receive notifications on my Blackberry. It does not have enough memory to open geocaching.com. It would be ideal if the cache cords could be sent in the notification text. Then I could just plug them in and go. Is it possible to have the cords sent in the notification?

Better be a traditional cache .... wouldn't want people running off after Unknown, Wherigo or Multicaches without seeing the listing.

True. Maybe we need more information in the notification.

This has been asked for, including by myself, before. The response that I received was that they want people to visit the site to see the information about the cache and it's possible special needs. I don't think this is coming soon even though they said they might implement it on new cahe listings.

well, the subject line of the email already contains this information, and the email body as well.

So what happens when the cache is retracted minutes after it was published by mistake or when it is published after dark and you don't know the cache is only available during daylight hours. The cache page details need to be looked at before you hunt for the cache, anything else is irresponsible.

Seems like including a .gpx would address all of these issues.

Not enough memory on a blackberry? Really? Surprised, but you could always try the wap site at wap.geocaching.com

Not all .gpx software displays the attributes (again sometimes very important cache restriction information). The .gpx file doesn't contain the disclaimer. Yes most only read it once but it covers Groundspeaks &%@.
