+wesleykey Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Been caching 6 years. Now using Garmin Colorado. Premium membership expired. I am now grabbing LOC files one at a time from caches I might want to visit. Somebody help me remember what I am missing on LOC files that I had on GPX files. Is it the past logs?? If it's significant, I may re-up to premium again today. Quote Link to comment

Mr.Yuck Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The LOC file only has the name and the coordinates Yup. Cache name and owners name, if you have enough characters. Sometimes, with a long cache name, you don't even get all that. And the coordinates, of course. If it's any consolation, it's almost all I ever use. A premium member since early 2004, and have about 2100 finds. Quote Link to comment

And there's the little known feature where knowing the GC number, you can send a text message inquiry to get as much of a cache page as 140 characters allow, or text for a decrypted hint; which I definitely remember doing in July, when my brain wasn't working at a relatively easy cache.
