Re: Maps - What do you want?

How come when I quote someone it doesn't come up in a cute little box? I click "quote" and sure enough, it quotes, but no cute little box. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight wondering why my quotes are un-boxed! 8-[

Re: Maps - What do you want?

Sounds just like one of the old Production Incident Review meetings. I can relate to that! I sympathise with caughtatwork. I'm in the business of fixing things and I'm always telling my clients not to bother me until they've broken it properly. None of this "it gave trouble yesterday but it's perfe...

Re: Maps - What do you want?

Thanks for that Craig. I'll experiment a bit, with your description in mind, and see how I go.

Re: Maps - What do you want?

OK, I believe you now as it's still doing it. I was logging a couple of recent caches in Tassie. I logged one in the North, then zoomed out and panned south to pick up another. After a while I simply ran out of caches. Left it sit in case the connection was dragging it's heels but after five minutes...

Re: Most GCA Finds in One Day -- A New Record Set!

Thanks for that. As you say, most remarkable, especially at this time of the year with the short days.
Caching trails sounds like cheating to me. That's more like a sporting activity than caching

Re: Most GCA Finds in One Day -- A New Record Set!

I'm impressed! What's the rules for this, do they have to be new caches that this cacher has not logged before? If so I'm doubly impressed.

Re: Who can help us with our honeymoon planning?

Sad to see the whole West of the country has been disregarded! Seriously though, I've driven the route being discussed here and there's an awful lot of Australian GBA (Great Bugger All). Day's of driving through scenery that doesn't look all that different to yesterdays. Mind you, for a once in a li...

Re: Maps - What do you want?

What browser and version are you using? This is not something I can replicate, so something is astray, but what I can't be sure.[/quote]

Firefox 4.0.1
Interestingly, I just tried a test run and it's now working fine. Refreshes perfectly. Have you tweaked something?

Re: Maps - What do you want?

I think it's pretty "by our lady" good as it is. The only hitch I've found is the same as samwalkers. Pan away from the original area and you can have an absolutely clear map, no caches shown at all. This only appears to happen if the original view showed the full 250. If it only showed 200, it'll k...

Bulk downloading to a Dakota 20

I hope this isn't a silly question but I'm wondering if it's possible to bulk download Geocaches to my GPS. I occasionally travel to parts of the country I'm not overly familiar with. It'd be nice if before I went I could bulk download every geocache for the area I'm going. I could then use the "Nea...

Re: Geocaching and private property

A vacant piece of derelict land through which people regularly take short cuts would probably be OK for a cache No. That's trespassing >> there shouldn't be a cache. Hmm, I see your point, but further back GhostGums made some excellent points about intent. Places we are free to access are not neces...

Re: Geocaching and private property

I understand the points being made but still remain slightly confused as to correct etiquette. It seems that the situation between Geocacher and land owner is slightly rubbery. A vacant piece of derelict land through which people regularly take short cuts would probably be OK for a cache but if the ...

Re: Geocaching and private property

but then I recently logged a cache (GCN6V3) that was the wrong side of a locked gate with Private Property written on it. Given I hid this I thought I should chme in: I'd say the the Private Property sign and gate(?) are new.....or the cache has suffered a massive amount of creep....either way I'll...
