Well, doing a search for caches with the name “Honey” in them netted me the cache I needed, hidden by Taxman1. Seems so simple now 😯

There is also a bookmark list of all of the caches one the main page and mine for sure, at least I remember making one…. 😕

i think it was limited to certain styles of palm. i have an older palm centro phone, and didn’t even need a fix for it. before that i had a palm m series that i connected with just a quick patch.

That could be. This Palm V is getting up there in years, but it works so good for what I use it for. I may give it a try again tomorrow. It works well on my main computer that uses XP. I have a USB to serial connection that I bought in hopes of using it on my Dell Laptop while at the cabin.

Isn’t there still one in Clintonville?

I think I found another macro that will make things permanent. you say that it is not a good thing to lock names in GSAK, but perhaps this would save me from running the macro a lot? What problems would this create and could they be easily reversed? I delete the old database every time I reload a fresh PQ.
ShortenSeriesName.gsk

I thought about editing the macro you showed me to do what I want without having to reenter the long and short names each time, but I couldn’t figure a simple edit. For now it is fantastic!

Thanks Team Deejay! I just updated to GSAK version 7 a couple of weeks ago after Clyde helped me out with Windows Vista compatibility problems with the older version……and didn’t know about converting phrases. I currently screen out the non letter type things.

I figured there must have been some sort of a macro to do the same type of thing and I will look into the link you have provided. I never cared so much how the smart names came out, but I can see how this would make things a lot nicer. I have my smart names limited at 6 letters due to the limitations of my GPSIII and GPSV, but now that I have the GPSmap 60CSx I could probably go higher.

I am guessing that a macro to “rename” the actual cache names is what it will take to clean up Cachemate. Note: This macro renamed all of the caches perfectly and will make Cachemate a dream now! PERFECT!

Anyone know off the top of their heads how long the waypoint names can be in the GPSmap 60CSx? Note: I fired up my GPS and answered my question…it is 14! Much better too!

Thanks again!! 😀

I just read Tood300’s answer about adding the waypoint to the name, and that looks better but i don’t have the GC numbers in the waypoint info yet. I think I can do that with a macro to add it to the notes field.

I just stopped at a Wisconsin Spirit Quest – … cache today on the way back from the cabin. Cachemate has a field of 27 spaces. 24 spaces are used for the name of the series.

The cache was clearly on my GPS and in a Cemetery at St John’s Lutheran Church if I remember right. I had 4 pages of them to wade through. I found it tonight under “Wisconsin Spirit Quest – S…” (one of 8 or 9 just like it).

I have as many WSQ caches in that packet and almost every one makes some sense. I will not avoid these caches as I find many of them to be very enjoyable.

I can’t believe it!

After spending the past year occasionally firing up the old computer with XP I had a break-through! Thanks to everyone on the forums and a link sent to me from One Paddle Short which I will share with you, I am now able to hotsync my PALM and get files loaded to it. I am ecstatic! It doesn’t load automatically, I need to drop the file to the “add a file” on hotsync but it works!!! Thanks OPS and everyone else for the help.

Link hotsync help for Palm

I will have to try this some day. It sucks that Palm doesn’t care that users with Vista can’t Hotsync.

Ummm, since the Summer of 2000 I have owned a Mazda Miata. I had no idea this hobby would stick and was using the name Miata for almost every sign in at the time.

[Miata]

Was the cache still there and intact or was it all over the ground in pieces? I have to assume that the cache was still in place and that the trash on the ground was unrelated to your cache.

I agree with Ralph that a note to the cacher explaining that the cache is still there would be the route to go. Maybe ask them to edit their log, but I myself would probably not delete it.

I have deleted double logs in the past with no complaints, but I sent a message explaining why. Oh, there was one virtual cache I owned that I deleted a log from a college professor that couldn’t follow logging instructions…. 😈 🙄

Dah… do we dare ask why? :>

Sure, why not ……

On a botany expedition, and we were browsing different manuals looking up what species we were finding along the road.

I can just imagine how that went: “Hmmmm….And this species is the Fibbus Maximius….normally found between here and Door County, usually on weekends”. 😆
