Had a conversation with the Minister for Finance on Friday night. We have full approval to upgrade

I had a Garmin device (StreetPilot c510) that 'lost' its maps at one stage. I called Garmin (sadly had to wait online for a LONG time) and they emailed me a very small file (<1mb) to put into a directory, and all was restored. Hopefully your story is just as favourable!

yes theoretically unlimited amount, although I haven't (obviously) tested it out, but perhaps I will try to dump my whole GSAK DB next week and see how that goes... I've got a database of nearly 50,000 (we don't really know where we want to go yet, so I am preparing for all eventualities!) for our ...

Did I read somewhere that these units can store data for over 2,000,000 geocaches, ie every active GC.com cache on the planet (and the one above it)?

Does anyone have a good Andriod app that they use for offline routable maps? I know that Tom Tom has such a app. I have always used Garmin and was therefore hoping to use their app, however it does not seem to exist. I was hoping that someone would know of an app that you can upload a GPX file as PO...

Glad I could finally teach you something

How do you even find archived caches? Is there a pocket query you can run to see what's nearby? There is a bloke in QLD that has bookmark lists of just about every cache ever archived in Australia. I think his name is Crew153 (or something along those lines). You can run a pocket query based on the...

I find the odd cache between meetings when on the road, if I have time to spare. But for the most part I try to keep caching out of work time.

I logged an archived cache yesterday, and a couple of hours later, the reviewer brought down the hammer, locking the page. It had been archived for over 2 years and had several finds and DNFs logged over that period. Why now? If it is the cache that I suspect that it is, then 'why now' is because e...

you know there are over 100,000 caches in Canada right? Only 31,000 in British Columbia though http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?state_id=64 That's less than a week's worth of pocket queries! If you know where you are going to be, you can use GSAK's "Geocaching.com access/Get geocaches......

I was hoping to 'easily' download all of the caches into a GSAK database, and then be able to transfer them to my unit as necessary.

Does anybody know if any other website supplies the 'Cache Hidden Ranges' like this site does? I am trying to prepare a database for a trip to Canada soon. All help appreciated.

Thanks!

The 2 Dogs first find: Sydney Cache by 'Peter Sturart' 27/5/01

Peter Stuart is aka Iryshe, the admin account for Jeremy Irish, with no finds recorded.

I also trace myself back to here. I suspect that Jeremy actually adopted the cache from Peter Stuart, but I stand to be corrected.
