That's an interesting point @Bear and Ragged.

It would be great if they began to support Wherigo again, in particular. You mention other things being on the back burner, do you have any examples? Can't think of any  :D

Think, with Ranger Fox's plans for wherIgo, Garmin aren't needed... But it would be nice if Garmin GPSs would lay wherIgos.

GS did have "Nano" as an official size on the back burner, but the new apps seem to rename the sizes anyway.

GS seem/seemed to blame 'Third Party's' for the reason they don't progress things, when requested by the users...
eg "We can do it, but need third party users to agree to the changes, which may require them to change/update their software/hardware to be able to use the changes we make..."

Today.
I have made a cache I found recently into a Waymark...

Just waiting for one of the other officers to approve it.
(Not the done thing to approve your own Waymark, especially as I'm the leader of the category!  :D)

Wonder if they will 'make up' with Groundspeak?

And then take a look at WherIGo and getting 'Micro' added to the GPX files for caches, and all the other things GS have 'put on the back burner' over the years?

Sunday - sneaked in a virtual during a walk round Bolton Abbey whilst there with the wife's side of the family celebrating her father's 70th birthday. 

Two Trees... By any chance? On my list!

Did Under Water? ( Cleveland ) http://coord.info/GCAB1B recently, and one of the nearby Church Micros (Yarm Methodist Church).
Interesting that the other caches in the area have been Found since, but not the Virtual.

Do wonder if a lot of cachers these days are on free phone apps, and basic members, and don't see the older caches/non-standard caches..?
Or dont want to do them.  :o

Always make a point of looking for any Virtuals, or older caches (2000 to 2004) whilst out.

Trackables / Re: Is it possible to put travel bugs on a watch list?
« on: August 15, 2015, 02:55:17 pm »
Unless your ISP is blocking the emails as Spam, as the owner you should get notifications for:
Retrieved
Dropped
Grabbed logs

You don't get notified for Visits (Took it To)

I'm not sure about Discovered...

As the owner, there is no 'Watchlist' to add a TB to, you already get notifications.

Are they YOUR TBs?  ???

You will get notification of logs as the TB owner.*
Otherwise, you can add to your watchlist any TB/Geocoin that has a page you can see.

* Unless the log is 'Visit' (Took It To)

Our surveyors are carrying 47 travel bugs around with them right now.

As Groundspeak 'sell' the codes in blocks of 50, I wonder what's happened to the other 3 codes?  ???

This week...

Think I've managed to get one of the suveneer thingies...
Logged YOSM in Southampton on Monday. YOSM has 496 Favourites, so I think it qualifies for a suvvy!  :D
All I need to do is log it, and send the email with the required info...

Thursday saw me in Inverness, managed to find the SideTracked cache, and that will make my 'Furthest North' cache so far this year.  ;D

And found a cache today on the way back home from Inverness, three days in a week with a cache find!  :o

Just need to find time to log this large backlog of finds...  ::)

Got the Garmin app on the phone...

Things tend to be, if I get a chance, Groundspeak caches (helps that I have them on the sat-nav), then Munzees.

Do have an app for the OpenCaching.Org site, but they seem 'few and far between' so rarely look at the app.
(Have logged one, that happened to be local...)

Some units have different settings for different types of battery...
Is yours set correctly, for the type of battery you are using?

]If you find a difficulty 5 cache in July you get one of the new souvenirs. A cache came out in May with a difficulty 5. Here is the first log on that cache


Write note

FTF Found the cache on this very nice sunny day. Will only log it for the souvenir on July 17. Very well hidden. Will give you a Favorite when it will be logged. Thanks Michel for the cache. [/quote]

Sometimes!

Carry a pen for work, always use my own pen when signing the log.

(Mind you, most of the caches I've been finding recently have been micro/nano's, writing implement NOT included!  :D)
