It's something we inherited.

We have you to thank for some of the interesting level descriptions though!

Is it important, as long as the cache is findable? Wendy It's important because seekers will "follow the arrow" to the location of the listed cache and expect it to be within a reasonable distance of that. If the listed coordinates are in a dangerous location that the cache placer isn't aware of be...

Love your work!

Nice work!

I often wonder why the Garmin 60CSx and others take seemingly ages to lock on to four sats when you switch on but the car GPS seems to have them almost immediately most of the time. The car GPS doesn't need to be accurate under 30m though I guess. Perhaps because the car gps is always a "warm" star...

Was just reading his last thread from Jan '09. We sure don't get threads derailed by trolls like we used to!

By the way, the NSW, SA and QLD feeds are wonky at the moment, but should rectify themselves in due course.

Just installed geosphere and followed murf's instructions for setting up a bookmark with the GCA gpx URL as I am not a GSAK fan. At first it did not work and "timed out" but restarting the iPhone made it work like a charm. Looks like a good program and will make finding GCA caches a lot easier. =D> ...

Bought geosphere today to enable me to more easily seek GCA caches. Dick Smith Electronics are selling $50 iTunes cards for $40 at the moment so effectively it was at a 20% discount! Followed murf's instructions for loading the gpx files from here: http://forum.geocaching.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=12&t...
