Geocaching Australia

I saw another warning today on facebook where you get an email from the Australian Federal Police saying you have a traffic infringement notice and giving you a link to click on. Needless to say, don't. In Canberra the AFP don't run the camera detection devices so the infringement wont come from th...

I have heard that if you randomly press numbers on your phone before hanging up (at least 20 numbers) the machine thinks it has dialed a fax or data line and deletes your number. I have been doing this for a few years now, especially on the numbers that identify as 'overseas' and don't seem to get t...

I agree, the lack of a defined track does not make a Trig un-accessable. Private property or the trig not actually there would be about the limit of the reasons for archiving i would think.

Actually I like that idea. The device itself is way too big and heavy, but I could pull parts from it and have multiple moveables from the old machine.

That would be really cool to find and move a 'piece' of GCA history

I have the Montana 650T and purchased it from Johhny Appleseed (just google them). I love the screen size and the window mount that converts it to an in-car navigator, as well as recharges the internal battery. As for it being replaced by a newer model I can't comment however Garmin seem to support ...

There are a couple of 650's. Does it have another name included like Montana or Oregon?

FYI: Not quite true, as long as your 'Cacher' name is set exactly the same in http://geocaching.com.au/my/settings then it'll be good.
Forum/Site username can be different to the one used in your logs.

Sorry, I meant Cacher name

Just as long as your username is the same on both sites.

I use Garmin Basecamp, which is downloadable from the Garmin website, with my Montana. It produces the elevation graph from the GPS for me.

jusojara What is GSAK? It is a database that can manage your PQ's, even downloading them directly, and then you can filter, sort and upload (as well as many more things that I haven't figured out yet :stabby ). You can also manage your finds PQ's in there as well. You can get it to try from http://...

Another way is to use GSAK

It just means that I don't get to that side of town often!

(In all honesty, I was just attempting to use my wonky statistical probability knowledge - Bad cache has had 57 finders but only 20 of those have gone on to find the good cache- ](*,) OT - I have your 'good' cache in the GPSr with all intentions of getting it when the stars aling, the conditions ar...

I use the different filename method on my Montana when I travel so that I can then delete the file for the caches that are not in my local area when I return and it doesn't affect my usual upload.
