http://www.geocaching.com/about/hiding.aspx No such thing as common sense. Because we are all different and what might be common to you will not be common to me. Will it cause unnecessary concern? - Please use common sense when choosing a location for your cache. Do not place your cache in any loca...

Caches on or under Bridges
In the early days one of the placement rules for caches was "Not on or under Bridges". Now of late the rule seems to have been relaxed. Today I saw something that is of a concern, but not to Geocaches, but to Main Roads. We found a cache under a bridge that as a explosives tech I could concievably p...

I used to teach GPS in the Navy and I found it is really a Ford/Holden thing unless you want to pay really big money for commercial and/or Milspec ( which you cant get anyway). Personally I love my Meridian Gold and wont be changing for a while(SWMBO wont let me anyway) One thing I would point out a...

When I did my first Magnavox Transit/GPS course in 1985 the US Navy controlled it. It was designed so the the Boomers- Ballistic Nuclear submarines could get an accurate targeting fix prior to lauching. Altough under Transit the mast had to stay above the surface for at least 40 mins. When GPS as in...

Nope thats the current figure quoted by the US Air Force....which in its self is odd because the US Navy always controled Navstar and Navstar 2. I use the term " Mathimatical Calulations" loosely as the system actully does 50000 Interations a sec which are a combination of receive and process. Given...

The agency that controls The GPS constellation, will only garuntee the accuary of the network to 100m. You have to remember that your GPSr only "guesses " where it is based on 50000 mathimatical calcutions per sec. Mind you these "guesses" usally are very accurate, and EPE does mean "Estimated" posi...

AMG Vs UTM
Not sure this goes here but it is a technical issue of sorts.
I got in to a debate last night with our local Shire ranger. He said that AMG is still used. I had thought that AMG had been dropped in favour of UTM. Any thoughts?
