Geocaching Australia

Kewl!

LOL at SPOT for not having coverage on most of the Himalayas, South Asia/Indonesia, India, Alaska, and the southern half of Africa. I guess no adventure seeker ever goes to these places... http://www.findmespot.com/explorespot/coverage.aspx I do wonder about the statement of probability of getting a...

I did a recent drive to Sydney and back and did a pocket query of all unfound caches within 100m of the road, excluding micros. I was very surprised to only return 7 results.

When it comes to finding caches, I need all the help I can get, which is why nanos and micros in general are out for me.

Even though you've said you would like to stay away from a full content engine (and for good reason too, you should see some of the ones we have at my day job), I'd say blog or wiki, however they can be a bit of a dog to install on a hosted site if the hosting company doesn't offer an express instal...

Well, that was somewhat painful, but mine is now converted.

Coincidentally, they are not sending the right MIME type for the cache page, so the default browser in my phone can't open the cache link

(I wonder what was wrong with the old notifications?!?)

Hmm, sounds like mime encoding.

Yup, I just confirmed, they've switched to quoted-printable from 7-bit. You're going to need to decode the body now.

Arg.

Hmm, his parts list would run you $45-50 in Australia, plus $30+ every time the batteries drained. For $51 you could just go out and get a Fenix L2D Rebel-80, or for $70 a Fenix L2D Rebel-100 torch providing 175 peak lumens and run off plain old AA cells... Not to mention the nice fire hazard of him...

That sounds RFC non-compliant...

edit: I can confirm my notifications were coming in lowercase today as well. Waymarking notifications have been with a lowercase subject line for some time, apparently, although it isn't like many of those are generated.

Thanks for the heads up, regex updated.

Probably best if it avoids peak travel season for air, hotel, and rental car bookings. I don't know how far after Christmas those extend.

Capacitive touch screens, unlike the more common resistive, require the contact to be made using bare skin. This means you can throw it in your pocket without activating the screen. It also means you can't use a stylus, gloves, etc, for control. As an example of a device using a capacitive touch scr...

I wonder how they have implemented their touch screen? Hopefully it is of the skin touch variety, or the higher end models would be a real PITA to use in the field.

Edit: I wonder how many active waypoints it will support?

link for firmware updates: http://www.nextdestination.com.au/Pages/Downloads.aspx?BrandName=Magellan The 2.57 500/600 file at that location is dated 31 May 2007, which leaves me wondering about the mentioned 2.57 update? Maybe some post somewhere caused some confusion on the versioning? Is another ...

Can you please point me to the firmware, and I'll give it a go.

When my Explorist 500 bit the big one, I took it back to Olbis, and they sent it off to Next Destination, who replaced it. Unfortunately, the fault was actually in the charger, which they didn't replace as the policy was to only send the GPSr. The charger had damaged the battery, and in turn the ele...
