+sedo5760 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Dear friends, I'm now a geocacher for several moths. Until now i've logged 38 caches. For me, it's great fun. I enjoy doing this. But logging through the official website isn't easy. Why can't there be a menuitem for a page where you can directly search for a cache? Just add this menuitem in the menu 'My Profile'. This is much easier tehn the way i have to log now. I hope this can be done. best regards sedo5760 Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 What GPS? Do you log by phone, if so, what App? Do you have the ability to use Field Notes from you GPS/phone via the computer? Let us know a bit more, we may have the solution! Quote Link to comment

Let us know a bit more, we may have the solution! Hi Bear and Ragged Thanks for responding. I do have a Garmin GPSmap 62st. I'm not caching with a phone. I'm not sure what you mean by 'Field Notes'? Can you explain? I'm curious to hear your solution Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) Field Notes > http://www.geocaching.com/my/fieldnotes.aspx From that page > http://www.geocaching.com/my/uploadfieldnotes.aspx and click on the Garmin tab. As you cache, mark as 'Found'on the GPS. include a few words so you can remember the cache. (Making a 'proper log' on the GPS is tedious! Easier to do it at home on the computer) Get home and connect your GPS to the computer and go the the Fild Notes page, and follow the instructions. Caches will be listed in the order you Found or DNF'd them ready to Compose Log with your proper written log based on the notes you made.. Welcome to the World of Paperless Caching!

+Gitchee-Gummee Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Utilizing the fieldnotes feature capabilities of your GPSr will finally make you truly "paperless". Quote Link to comment
+McBack Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 But there is a search also. In the top menu, Play > Hide and Seek. Or did I misunderstand something agin. Quote Link to comment
