        Saw something almost exactly like this today, but with a few more points, and a full body……….on the ground about XX feet away from a cache.

        Did not appear to have been there very long, and suspect it was ‘one that got away.’ 😯

          Twice now, have found that ‘Granny Squares’ is a great way to drift into a nice slumber at 35000 ft. :LOL: :LOL:

              That’s what we use as a gpx file intermediary between GSAK and c:geo, though it sounds like there are a lot more capabilities we’ve overlooked. Thanks for the info! 🙂

                Yes. This is on my list of grumbles about the Oregon, but thought perhaps something on my part was being done wrong. Seems that once the cache is completed, or another selected, the WPs are gone. But while navigating to the ‘next stages’, pretty sure the cache details will still be pulled up. Best we’ve found with keeping info on subsequent stages is to just record the coords in the cache’s notes……or on a piece of paper. 🙂

                Would like to see the Oregon do what the App on our phone does: it allows the addition of new WPs, and incorporates them into the associated cache info, allowing you to switch and navigate among the various WPs, without then ever becoming disassociated with that cache. And when you’re done, all the WPs are stored, so you can come back and ref or use them again, as needed.

                  Can’t you send this as a gpx file to your phone now, and then import that file into c:geo’s stored caches? I do this now, but first store it into GDAK, and then import to c:geo.

                    Seems like the frog will slowly take on many of the prize features of GSAK, while GSAK fights to stay relevant.

                    My wish right now is that GSAK was cloud-based, accessible through an App on a ‘Pad or my phone.

                      I also used the notes section the same way, and like the ability to now make the coord change directly on the cache page, where it remains in place during downloads, and on the dynamic map. It seems as long as you are logged into GC.com, these personalization features will be intact.

                      Regarding how they show up on the ‘beta maps’, other features being requested and in the works, as well as a spot to join in on the improvements discussion, please see this thread: http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=285051&st=0&p=4888356&hl=corrected%20coordinates&fromsearch=1&#entry4888356

                        GSAK 8 will now let you download the last 30 logs, which might be of some help.

                          We’re sold! Appreciate all the guidance and details! Was $15, for us, and have already taken advantage of a few of the features you’ve noted. Have been wishing for the ‘refresh’ feature for a long time, and like how the API simplifies operations between GSAK and GC.com.

                          Thanks again! 🙂 🙂

                            Seems like I’ve seen it before, but I came up with the same dead-ends as CJ looking through GSAK (but did not know about GSAK 8X….and wonder why I have to pay more???????) No help here. 🙁

                            But, you can always do it ‘by hand’…….that’ll keep you busy for the winter 😈

                              Congratulations on each of your great achievements! Loved your logs! Looks like you finished with a doubly great crescendo of caching days, miles, and Chants! Missions Accomplished! 🙂 🙂

                                I’ve noticed ammo can prices have skyrocketed recently. Today’s Fleet Farm flyer advertises them “on sale” (until Nov. 12) at $9.99 for a 50 cal, $7.49 for a 30 caliber. Not too long ago these were normal prices… glad I have a couple of spares.

                                And did the FF flyer have fine print stating “Not available in Waupaca, …….?” Always hated that! 😡

                                Thanks for getting the word out. The 9.99 actually appears a bit down from the $11 they seemed to be charging over the past 1-2 years. Could be their sales on these stalled when they jacked up the prices by a good 30-50% a few months ago…………hmmmmmm, about the time reports of missing ammo cans went up? At least some thieves are nice, and leave the contents for the next finder 😕
