    Once you are logged in, go to My Account page. On the top is Member Features. Click that, and it has a long list of odds and ends.

    On my part, I would be happy having just PQs. Everything is a bonus.

    If you enjoy “watching” caches, when you are a paid member you have an unlimited number of caches you can watch.

    A warm fuzzy feeling.

    I too would be willing to pay more for just the PQ’s. Using map software for caching, the PQ’s combined with the map software saves $$$ in gas alone.

    Now if they could come out with autorouting that didn’t lead one in silly directions, and I finish that vegetable oil diesel conversion, i’d never go home.

    If you are not already, check out “Watcher” too … http://watcher.clayjar.com/

    You feed your pocket query into it and you have a database of all the caches that you can sort and mark by various options (distance, difficulty, recent success/failure at finding, etc) … then you can click on any of the listings and open that cache listing on your computer.

    I find it helpful for planning a days activity, since your doing it off the Internet, everything is faster and printing is cleaner (without no adds and logos).

    Only two draw backs I’ve found:

    (1) Printing is a little weird, you have to right click on the page you want to print, rather than there being a print button.

    (2) If you print the pages, it does NOT include the decoding key, like a geocaching.com page does.

    Once you’re a paid member you can “zoom in” on the maps, identify a particular cache on a map (along w/ 20 or so others), not mention the fact that you’re also helping to support the Groundspeak site.

    To step on toes here…Once you pay, you’re no longer a free loader!
    (And anyone noting that CB&MB does not hold a premium membership needs to look at Commander Bob and MajorBrat…we thought paying for 2 accounts was enough…didn’t think paying for a third was necessary)
