they added a mapping feature also. Looks decent enough but it only goes from home cords to cache. I figure since i dont want to come home between each cache I will keep using my Nuvi and listening to “recalculating”

Just spend the extra time changing where your home is, each and every time.

Cool, the WAP back door is still functioning too.

I like the upgrade. So far no problems. I also like seeing my avatar when I get to my home page.

Has anyone had luck getting the site to work in a Palm-based browser? I’m using WebPro on a Zire 72 but the log-in screen doesn’t actually log me in, which makes it pretty useless. I’m guessing it’s because the log in feature is looking to put a cookie on the device that the Palm can’t handle.

You have to know the secret knock & handshake to access the secret back door.(Which I do know 😉 )

This little secret has been hinted at a few times throughout the past few years, but I have yet to learn anything about it….Is this some sort of Cult secret?

WAP websites are typically used for access by PDA or mobile phone.

Oooh! That solves the Palm clunky-browser problem too. I am forever grateful….

Looks like it’s not working again. **sigh** every zip code or city name I put in come up with nothing.

WAP “Back door”

I wanted to get in the WAP door too so I clicked on it, but… I don’t get it??? 🙁 I use a Palm so what is this for?

[gotta run]

WAP=wireless application protocol. The WAP site is for the palm or I assume a palm type device. I did not know this existed so I was trying to use the regular gc site thru the palm WebPro broswer which was a bit clunky to say the least.

The WAP site is perfect. The main benefit is that if you are w/in range of a hotspot you can quick check on cache updates. Very helpful if you are running on a pq that is a few days (or weeks 😳 ) old only to find out the cache is disabled or coords have been updated.

Of course, you have to find a hotspot, but those are easier and easier to come by. Heck, most people that put in wireless networking in their homes don’t use wep keys so you can just borrow a connection for a bit… 😈
