    Team Vaughan,

    Try this:

    Go to http://www.geocaching.com/seek/

    Enter the zip for the area you are interesed in and you should get a bunch of caches that meet your criteria… Print out the one’s that sound good and give it a shot!!

    Have fun!

    I’d go for an “in-house” type of database… Something that could get sync’d to my palm which is always along caching with us… Sounds like a winner to me..

    Bec,

    Here’s the link for the manual….
    http://www.magellangps.com/assets/manuals/newprod/manual_MapSendStandDest.pdf

    If you’re a premium member at GC.com you can have “pocket querries” email’d to you automatically… You can configure them almost anyway you wish..

    The file that’s sent, loads directly into GSAK(Really pays off to learn it). Then from one screen in GSAK you are able to upload wpts. to your gps and also export a .wpt file which should work for your mapsend problem…

    Any help?

    Maybe you already knew all this?

    Email me direct for more if you need it!!

    All you should have to do is go to the waypoint in question and click on it and then choose to edit it. There you can change the wpt name before you load it to the gps… Also, GSAK will do this for you if you want using “smartnames”… I believe Spinner will do this for you too(It’s been so long since I’ve used it)

    Give GSAK a try first.. http://www.gsak.net

    Good Luck!!

    Ootek and Cathunter,

    I believe(never done it myself),

    that what you’re looking to do is hit any caches within a certain distance from your route, say 10 miles or so.. Right?

    What you do then, is create another set of waypoints which follow your path. this will make up the “arc” you wish to filter from…

    Better yet, read this: http://www.gsak.net/help/hs4800.htm

    in reply to: Ever happen to you?? #1747233

    I wouldn’t say it was a numbers thing for me up to this point..(Although it was a goal to reach 200 at the campout!) Most of all, I just enjoy being out!!

    Today I guess I just didn’t want to… So, I went home, cut the grass(quick! NO RAIN), and kicked back with the kids..

    I agree with FOEFN in that there’s much fun to be had in placing caches as well.. Kind of a good way to “give back”..

    We’ll see if the mood changes in awhile..
