Phew… Finally I received a PQ via another email address… I feel better now..

I’ve sent off a few emails myself, haven’t seen any change.. Although, I must admit, I don’t know too much about the “nuts and bolts” of what’s really going on…

What are the odds that this thing eventually gets worked out?

Were you talking about something like this?

Or, was it supposed to be updated in real time…?

All we can say around here is “HOLY MOLEY”!!!

It’s also rare for us to not find a Pharm Team logo in the log book by the time we make it there!!!

WTG!

If this is turning into an informal vote….

Team Flushingrouse gives the thumbs up to Hartman Creek!! Never been there before, looks really nice!!!

That’s our $.02

It would be nice if we could all copy/paste the text from our spinner.ini files in this thread.

By changing a few lines, you can really change quite a few things in the output….

I’m not sure I really want all the “gcxxxx” numbers to be changed to “mcxxxx” etc.. But now that I think about it, I bet you guys are loading the spinner.gpx file into your gpsr’s. Then it would all make sense… Comparing what I see on the map page of my Plat….

Besides, I may be able to pick up a couple of tricks the rest of you are using….

Here’s a portion of the way I have it now……

#**********************************************************
#
# This section tells Spinner how to spin your GPX file(s).
#
# The following Format Specifiers can be used below in
# the Waypoint_Format and Desc_Format :
#
# %C Code (as specified in the table below)
# %Y Cache type, spelled out.
# %I ID – the xxxx part of GCxxxx.
# %N Name of cache, smart truncated.
# %O Owner.
# %P Placed by.
# %D Difficulty, in original x.x format.
# %d Difficulty, shortened to 1 character, according to
# the following equation: %d = (%D – 0.5) * 2
# Thus, 1=1, 1.5=2, 2=3 … 4.5=8, 5=9
# %T Terrain, in original x.x format.
# %t Terrain, shortened to 1 character, like %d above.
# All other characters used literally.
#
# First is the table defining the %C code:

Traditional_Prefix = GC
Multi_Prefix = GC
Virtual_Prefix = GC
Locationless_Prefix = GC
Letterbox_Prefix = GC
Event_Prefix = GC
CITO_Event_Prefix = GC
Webcam_Prefix = GC
Unknown_Prefix = GC

# The following prefix will override the above cache
# prefixes if the cache size is Micro.
# (The default is no change – use prefix from above.)

Micro_Prefix =

# The following prefix will override the above cache
# prefixes if the cache contains any travel bugs.
# (The default is no change – use prefix from above.)

TB_Prefix =

# Waypoint is the name for waypoints in your GPS receiver.
# Historically, this has been the equivalent of %C%I
# But you may find it more useful too show the actual
# name of the cache instead. You could also include the
# placer and/or the difficulty/terrain ratings if you
# desire. See the table of Format Specifiers above for
# more information.

Waypoint_Format = %N
Waypoint_Max_Length = 15
Waypoint_Allowed_Chars = +-
# (use s for space)

# Description is the description of the waypoint in your
# GPS receiver. This is usually shown on the waypoint
# information screen, but not all receivers support it.

Desc_Format = %Y %N %D-%T
Desc_Max_Length = 36
Desc_Allowed_Chars = +-s
# use s for space

#Desc_Allowed_Chars = !”#$&'()*+,-./:;?s # Garmin GPS V

# You can determine the set of allowable characters by
# entering a waypoint manually into your GPS receiver.
# The on-screen keyboard will show which characters are
# allowed. On some models there is also a ‘shift’ key
# that enables even more characters. Letters and numbers
# are assumed. Do not include them here.

# Note there is a bug in EasyGPS and ExpertGPS that strips
# off some of these characters when uploading waypoints to
# certain models of GPS receivers.
# If you experience this problem, contact TopoGrafix at
# [email protected] or [email protected]
# Include the model of GPS receiver and the full list of
# allowable characters in your email.

#**********************************************************
#
# This section defines how GPX Spinner will change the
# icon for the various cache types.
#
# The types are evaluated in the order shown here
# (but changing the order here will NOT change the
# order of evaluation.)
#
# Leave a definition blank if you don’t want any change
# to take place for that type (e.g. Micro_Not_Found =

Traditional_Not_Found = Geocache
Multi_Not_Found =
Virtual_Not_Found =
Locationless_Not_Found =
Letterbox_Not_Found =
Event_Not_Found =
CITO_Event_Not_Found =
Webcam_Not_Found =
Unknown_Not_Found =

# The following symbols will override the above cache
# symbols if the cache contains any travel bugs.

TB_Not_Found = Hunting Area
TB_Found = Zoo

# The following symbols will override the above cache
# symbols if there are (DNF_Limit) or more ‘Not Found’
# log entries.

DNF_Limit = 3
DNF_Not_Found = Cemetery
DNF_Found = Cemetery

What do you have setup for yours?

A couple of things come to mind right away…

Start up Easygps and click file/prefs./my gps receivers/…. See that your gpsr is listed there… If not, add yours….

Second, with everything hooked up…Try Clicking on GPS at the top menu bar..Then click “test my serial connection” See what that tells you…

Just a couple thoughts…

Well Beast,

It was just a matter of time… Truely an amazing effort on your part to date!!

So, with that, I say to you “Kudos, Accolades, and Great Thunderous Applause”…

Does that have the same effect when someone else says it??

A job well done!! A big thumbs-up to you!!

Thanks!

Thanks to all for the congrats!!

It was Bill’s goal to at least, get to 100 by our one year anniv… Think we did it!! Can’t wait to do some more!

Mrs. Flushingrouse and I have already talked it over and both feel it would be a great reason to get out of town!!

Team Flushingrouse

[Snoshu]

Love the stats page!! Too bad we cant seem to get our totals up… Life’s been getting in the way lately…

One question though… Our total finds/hides are correct. But, if you go to the right where everything is broken down per the type of cache… Our numbers don’t add up. I’ve always assumed that we have been logging our Event finds incorrectly, and this is where the problem seems to come from.. Can anybody help us understand this?

Thanks!
