Loading Trig Points into Garmin 650

At an event this morning, a fellow geocacher mentioned that he was having difficulty loading Trig Points into his Garmin 600. I usually use GA Cacher on my phone, so had no experience with this, bus when I got home I tried a few things. I loaded up a GSAK database with a bunch of GCA caches and trie...

Re: Which App to use

Cachly isn't free, but then not many iPhone caching apps are. I don't know why so many people lose sleep about paying $8 or so for a great app which you'll use for years. Also, paying for Premium Membership is so cheap when you look at the many hours of entertainment you get back. When you consider ...

Re: Which App to use

Not an iPhone user myself, but an app calls Cachly seems to currently be the best of breed according to my IOS friends.

Re: Centroid over Time

Is the time period each cache find? Day? Week? Month? Year? That is tricky isn't it. For caches going about their normal business it won't change much after they've found a hundred or so locally so each week would be fine. However an overseas trip with several finds a day would make a big impact to...

Centroid over Time

If one day a faerie had the time and inclination, I thought an interesting addition to the stats graphs might be a map of how your centroid has moved during your caching career. It would start off locked into your home area, but then an interstate or overseas trip would see it dragged off in that di...

Re: Settings for gps in Australia

Last time I looked at this, some years ago, you could tell your GPS roughly where you were, which would speed up the process of locking into a new location, but on my Garmin 650 I can't find this function. Perhaps now that processors and chips have improved they don't think that extra hint is necess...

Re: Places with great cache density

Did this B&W one recently, GA2486, but it had leaked over to GC from GCA, and is now GC45P3F.

Re: Feature Request - mass tagging

I think the terms "power trail" and "series" do not need to be differentiated in this request, but the OP can confirm.
I don't believe that logically there is a absolute difference anyway, any discussion about it results in varying opinion based definitions, none of which are hard coded anywhere.

Re: Is there a point to puzzle caches?

Actually the same thing pretty much applies to other cache types too. Puzzles - it is very easy to think up a puzzle based on some random little known code or something which very few people can solve. Trads - Very easy to hide some nano in a rock pile that will be virtually impossible to find. Trad...

Re: Cache found longest distance from coords

My best is 1130m from the listed GZ, a FTF on a cache at Mt Buller in 2012.

Re: What3Words

There's an API so Groundspeak could easily build this into geocaching.
