Only the “Routeable” Maps have Unlock Codes

There are ways around this though……

If you need any assistance, send me a message.

Blue charts also has the unlock procedure, as do some of the topo mapsets for other country’s.

I also found a program that unlocks all installed mapsets on your PC, then you can install on as many devices as your want just like the unlocked map products.
I am in no way promoting software piracy, but if one knows where to look there are options available.

Bad company policy is what leads to actions like that. Granted it does not make it right.

After finding a whole 2-3 I still use my foot. 🙂

I did try to seriously look for 1 bench mark that should be there, but needed some of AstroD-Team tools like

1. A metal detector
2. A trowel or two
3. A shovel

This was for a benchmark that was located under a very old DNR fire lookout station. From past experience most of the benchmarks were located right under the tower. In this case it was obvious that several years of growth and dirt covered the spot. This was easy to tell from the 5-6 year old tree that was growing there and the fact that the cement footings used for tower were also covered.

Why isn’t there a choice of “NO” for the poll? For us, the “goal” is to have fun, enjoy nature, and find interesting caches.

This what I found, hope it helps.

1- Turn off unit.
2- press and hold the bottom right corner of the screen.
3- While still pressing and holding bottom right corner, press and hold power button and continue holding both until a white screen appears with a black dot.
4- follow the on screen directions and your unit will be back to the day you first got it.

As long as we are venting on this issue. My problem with my GPS (eXplorist 210…I know, but it still finds caches) is that if two or more caches have basically the same name (for example, another walk in the park 1 through 4327), then it automatically deletes all but one, because it thinks it is a duplicate.

that is funny…

When doing cache on a trip I’m very strict since there more than likely there won’t be a chance to return to look again and I don’t really want to waste my time looking around a tree for a cache that is not there so this what I do.

Once I get a full PQ from GC.com I use GSAK and filter out the following.
No Puzzles
No Multi (not risking missing stages)
Filter out any cache that have 2 DNF in the last 4 logs
Any already found
Any already not active
No web cams
No mystery caches

We’re attaching object to coins now? Have I been away from finding caches that long? Why not encase your coin in a larger container? You can write whatever you want on the larger container. I know that Hobby Lobby sells some really nice coin collecting stuff.

I used to do that and my coins disappeared even faster being in a nice protective case that prevented damage. Now I drill a nice size hole, stops the thief’s, and put one of the dog tag items on it, makes sure new folks know what to do.

Well that was my 1st time to the place that is not about the numbers.

at what point do folks decide that what they’re doing is crossing the line from a fun replacement behavior to a new problem?

I would say to the point that other things, family, friends, and other commitments fall the way side to the point of neglect. This can been seen in almost any addiction regardless of type from people who get addicted to video games, having a new love affair, or picking up a hobby.

However, an addiction while technically not good can be a blessing. Take for instance if a person who was a serious couch potato, to the point of being overweight, eating poorly, and lacking a social life except those who enable the person to be a couch potato. If this person was to start on gecaching and become addicted to it and started to think and live caching, this would not be that bad of a thing compared to their previous activity. Getting out and exercising and being part of a social network like geocaching is far better than that of a couch potato.

Going into a new activity strong is fine but it is important to return to a proper balance. What ever that might be. 🙂

If you would like to get away from the lights and inner city go check out RED ROCK CANYON for some good old outdoors. Be sure to hunt for the caches in late afternoon so you will be there near sunset.

Here is a close cache to start GCVZDC

Coming off the Puzzle Tour thread and relating to the Lonely Cache Game thread is a re-occurring theme that in areas of high cache saturation, particularly in urban areas, the caching community would benefit from a voluntary cache review and archive commitment from its members, to make space for new and/or better caches.
