Geocaching Australia

Just joined with the sharks.....!

As Dooghan says, the compass is really useful when you're standing still. Using an iPhone to find caches with a "compass" that only helps when you are actually moving really makes you appreciate an electronic compass!

it might be a problem that Garmin have already got a fix for
so possibly doing an update from here just might fix the problem

Hi I have the iphone, like you, and have the 3 main geocaching apps (Geopher lite, igeocacher and geocaching/groundspeak app) The groundspeak one is the most integrated and has a direct navigation from the cache page, but there is no ability to input coordinates manually so you need a proper GPS app...

I am keen as mustard and think its great that you have the drive and the enthusiasm to put this together.

I might book a hotel in Wagga and at this stage its just me but mr red tag and a few little red tags may hopefully come as well.

We also have the backlight on to see the screen clearly. Possibly also due to the fact my eyesight isn't as good as it was 20 years ago :oops: We have the backlight on Full during the day and drop the level of the light at night time and we have the backlight setting to stay on ALL the time. Initial...

Does it count if the word ring is within the cache name but not on its own, ie. keyring? Sorry, but no. The word needs to appear as a word u...

Thats a YES from me RoamingMan.
I am still in favour of the Oregon over the 60CSX

Hi pprass,

my reply wouldn't have had those cool pictures ..... I have only just learnt how to attach 'Emotions' to my comments in the forum

I just tested the 'Field Notes' option through my account in GC and in my opinion I think its great. :D Previously I was opening the Garmin file on my computer and printing the 'geocache_visits text document' which nicely printed my comments in order with date and time of day etc. However the option...

OREGON 300 Here is my 'non technical, just how I see it' review of what I think of the Oregon GPS. I have had the Oregon 300 for just over a week now and I am quite happy to give the 60CSX back to Mr red tag (I did initially buy the CSX for him for his birthday because I wanted it, so it seems only ...
