+TheGunNut Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) I have on several occassions, gone on a power trail and had to spend hours logging the caches once found. Since my iPhone allows me to log a cache right away, it is handy. However, the battery doesn't last long enough when doing a power trail. There has to be a simple way to log a large anount of caches at once. When I complete say, 100+ caches on a trail in a day, how can I log them quickly instead of doing them one at a time? My last one was over 150 caches and it took me forever to log them as found. I wish I could select them all on a list and then hit one button to update the GPX files to show as found and enter a log entry. Any ideas anyone?

+niraD Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Are you using field notes? Or are you visiting each cache page and selecting the "Log your visit" link? Quote Link to comment
+TheGunNut Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) Are you using field notes? Or are you visiting each cache page and selecting the "Log your visit" link? I use the log your visit link. Don't know any other way right now. I know some cachers use a thrid party program to do it, but there has to be an easier way.

+niraD Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I almost always use field notes. Of course, the most I've ever found in a day is 16. But still, it's a big improvement over using the "Log your visit" links on the cache page. http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=128 Quote Link to comment

+SwineFlew Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Any ideas anyone? GSAK ... publish logs. Yep. I can mark them as found on my GPS and upload it when I get home and use the template log and boom, I am done. Quote Link to comment

+FunnyNose Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Another method in having to deal with logging multiple caches is to not find as many caches. Look for older caches, caches where you have to hike in a few miles and caches with lots of favorite points. I find it refreshing writing a unique log for each cache I find. Quote Link to comment

You do understand that your method and complaint is nothing short of Evil (Big E), right? Quote Link to comment
