Pup Patrol Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) How do I download the completed caches from my GPSMAP 62S to the Geocaching website so they add to my existing count? How did you log the 11 finds you have so far? You go to each cache page and log "found it". (If you found the cache. If you didn't find it, then you would post it as a "did not find" log.) Help Center → Finding a Geocache 4. Logging a Geocache Are you using Field Notes? Help Center → Finding a Geocache → Logging a Geocache 4.6. How do I upload field notes? http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=548 B. Edited November 30, 2014 by Pup Patrol Quote Link to comment
+findertwo Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 The 11 geocaches I already have came from using my cellphone/app before I bought the Garmin GPSMAP 60S. Quote Link to comment
+wmpastor Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=X_F7VMvdBYnKOcexgLgF&url=http://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DcbhkImL95pY&ved=0CB8QuAIwAQ&usg=AFQjCNEQD_CbJvfpeji9aQrqwVgw9jSM7Q&sig2=TpzfQabDrKFhrgJQKKGh3A Navigation seems great. Details of logging are sketchy, but covered near the end of the video. Quote Link to comment

+Chief301 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 If I may offer an observation here....I read through some of your logs and they're just a word or two ("Nice cache", "Found it", that sort of thing). Speaking from the viewpoint of a cache owner, I (and many other CO's) truly appreciate a little more comment. What was the weather like today, who were you with, how hard it was to find the cache, etc. For this reason I generally can't get behind the idea of uploading a group of finds to the website (with the accompanying brief logs hastily thumbed out in the field). Personally I prefer to sit down at the computer at home (or even on my iPhone), recollect the day's adventures and at least compose a sentence or two detailing the find. Of course, you can do it however you want...."TFTC" is as valid a log as a full paragraph and a CO can't delete your log for brevity. But again, speaking as a CO, reading a little bit about the finder's experience is really the only "thanks" we get for the effort (sometimes a great deal of it) that went into creating the hide.

+findertwo Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks for the advice regarding the length of message. Being new to the hobby, I wasn't familair with the protocall. I also wasn't aware that you could add comments AFTER the cache was completed in the field and downloaded to the website. Lots to learn. Quote Link to comment
