I discovered on the weekend that Anaconda caries a container similar to Lock n' Lock which looks to have some good weight to it and also look to have a fairly good seal. The price wasn't too bad either. I saw those but thought the price was on the higher side for plastic. That said once my supply o...

I am gradually replacing all my caches with either ammo boxes or pipe caches. They cost more initially but you may never have to replace them. Mmmm, bush fire? Fire damages and can stuff an ammo box and I am sure will take out a pipe cache. I haven't had too much trouble with well placed plastic. N...

Or just keep the T3 and re-allocate something harmless to the voice-memo button (i.e. something that turns itself off) Looked at turning it off, but couldn't find anything. Not sure it can be re-allocated either. I think so... preferences/buttons should allow you to. Okay, I will reinvestigate. The...

G'day Well I am going to comment on the negative. I found their service last time I bothered to be well missing in action. They where rude, inconsiderate, considered me as a geocaching client to be a nuisance and on it goes. I had to follow-up up with them at least twice to get the product I paid fo...

Pocket PC Specification

G'day Having had the Palm T3 "die" on me again whilst on the road [plus no Palm Vista software] I am looking at giving it the flick for a pocket PC PDA. The damn thing didn't switch off properly and killed the battery. Got it recharged but it had wiped off Plucker and Cachemate in the process so no ...

i'm asking in particular about the 'order of accuracy' of the position of any waypoint that is shown on screen, rather than the accuracy of the actual unit. Whoops :oops: I misunderstood you. I am not 100% sure (don't have the unit with me) but I am pretty sure it does what you want, i.e., show the...
