Geocaching Australia

I can only reflect on the 4700 - which I have and will obviously recommend :D The screen quality and detail is GREAT. HP tends to bit a bit pricey, but this is my second iPAQ and I can't fault the brand. <P>The touchpad takes a little getting used to, but it is a great way to quickly check appointme...

appears to work OK at higher level, but is sporadic at a more detailed level. <P>Eg: search for 2900 (Tuggeranong) returns caches in the area across several suburbs, but search for 2906 (specific suburbs of Gordon/Conder) returns "invalid search" message - I assume this is when there are no entries....

One more graph: Finds by Terrain / Difficulty. This should show you just exactly how lazy you are :D Mine's pretty pathetic :oops: <P>no sooner do I see another great piece of work and reply to the forum, on the refresh CAW has added another plot of terrain/difficulty. is there no end to your creat...

pie chart looks great - thanks CAW

<P> one suggestion - can you sort the data in descending order prior to plotting the chart? this would order the pie slices and presumably the legend

working fine on my ppc with Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE) and Windows Mobile 2003 SE - and just in time for my interstate caching , urr... I mean, business trip

<P>THANK-YOU!

<P> what version of activesynch are you using? the earlier ones were quite buggy, ithink 3.8 is the current, but v4 is due soon... what can I say about MS bloatware

My suggestions would be: GpxSonar - free and will record fieldnotes (with timestamp if required) OziExplorerCE - Good mapping software for the PocketPC You could always check the Wiki Section on software. Agsmky <P>everything agmsky said plus consider: <li>VITO Navigator II (trial available @ www.v...

I currently use an iPAQ 4700 ppc with CF GPS card (which goes into bluetooth slipper when in the car). I discovered geocaching after I had the hardware listed (up to that point used mainly for personal info manager functions, synching calendar/contacts/tasks etc, downloading and emailing images from...

Suggestions for Commercial Caches - <p> McDonalds Happy Meal Cache - Just like a cache there is a box containing some paper, toys and nothing edible. <br> K-Mart Multi, but marked as a Traditional Cache - You get to where you think the item is that you want but when you get there, you find it is so...

we've got trig points loaded into the database now (thanks, riblit!) they aren't loggable yet, but if you want to see them, we've set up a google network link at http://geocaching.com.au/points/trigs.kml (you'll need to set it up so it updates when the camera stops) fyi we are also playing around w...

I re-imported the kap file and selected AGD66 @ Shift Datum prompt. Track log displays very similar to original screenshot.

<P>! ! QA: . VER/2.0 CHT/NA=,NU= CHF/ CED/SE=00,RE=00,ED= CHK/1, CGD/0 ORG/ MFR/NTA K01/NA= NU=,TY=BASE,FN=canberra.kap This is the contents of the canberra.bsb file. I have tried opening the canberra.kap file with notepad but it freezes. <P> I will try and post some screenshots of the import proce...

As you can see from screenshot, after saving a tracklog today, it appears not to be a simple alignment/datum/projection issue: http://gallery.geocaching.com.au/albums ... een001.png

<P>The error appears to be variable - pity it was a good looking, if not accurate base map

thanks for suggestions - I have managed to download GPX files by file...get data via email... and entering settings and manually clicking on getmail button.

I have found macros option (including run at start-up) - any chance of posting a working macro script to automate the GPX import on start-up?
