+tonydenson Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I have read the FAQ and user instructions for a Travel Bug but I still don't understand the difference between "grabbing" and "picking up" a TB. Can someone please explain in words of .5 syllables please. Quote Link to comment
+IV_Warrior Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Generally, "retrieved" if for when you get it from the cache it's listed as being in. "Grabbed" is when you get it from a fellow cacher, or some location other than where it's "listed" as being. I don't know if there's any difference, in reality, other than the way it's worded.

I believe the difference is that "Retrieving" results in calculating the mileage as there are coordinates associated with the cache it is retrieved from, where "Grabbing" does not cause mileage calculations, even if it is "grabbed" from a cache. As I said, I believe vs know for sure. Cache Well Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Retrieve: to take from a cache, thus adding miles to the travel bug. Grab: to take from another cacher, no miles added. Write note: to add details without an action being performed, bug does not move. Quote Link to comment
