+The_Secret_Seven Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Is it possible to email in find details? I can access Email from the middle of no where in the outback but I can't access the website until I return to civilization so this option would speed up the process. 1 Quote Link to comment
+K13 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Email to whom? Do you mean to send answers to Earthcache and Virtual Owners, or are you thinking there is a way to log regular caches from email? The only way to log caches is via an app or through the website, no email will do this. 2 Quote Link to comment
+colleda Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 You could give a friend or family member (by email) your account password and they could log finds for you. By using email do you have a phone and/or using computer wifi? Or are you accessing via satellite? Can you log on to geocaching.com? Need a bit more information on your situation.

Some Apps and some hiking GPSs allow saving logs offline for loading to the site when online. I do that from the Official Geocaching App, and on my GPS. You can send an email to yourself and open it when you return... if having the log text is what “speeds up the process”. Edited September 6, 2019 by kunarion 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I like the idea of kunarion in sending the email to yourself. Curious why you feel there's a need to "speed up the process". Thanks. We've cached since '04 , and still waiting until we get home to log finds. 4 3 Quote Link to comment

Why do you think you need to log "instantly"? There's nothing wrong with logging when you get back home , nobody is pressing F5 every few second to see if you found a cache already. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

How many times in these forums do we see FTF hounds fuss because they ended up STF, merely because the FTF didn't log, or write a Note or otherwise instantly let the world know a cache had been found? I'd say there are lots of folks constantly pressing F5 on caches. Quote Link to comment

The OP was around long enough to remember caching without phones. That's why I'm a bit curious too. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

I'd say there are lots of folks constantly pressing F5 on caches. The TS doesn't mention FTF. The ones playing the FTF game will have to accept not getting there in time anyway even with instant logging they may be minutes to late. Let's have a poll "do you F5 to see instant logs"? I doubt there are "a lot". Quote Link to comment

From the OP: "I can access Email from the middle of no where in the outback but I can't access the website until I return to civilization" I doubt the FTF hounds are too much a problem in this scenario. 2 Quote Link to comment
