I want to start hiding some caches and I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions on where are the best places to find supplies. I have seen the lock and lock containers at Walmart. Is there anyone else that sells them and are there any other containers that are recommended? Where does one b...

Hi there. We're new to this sport and just wanted to say hi. I'm 42 and my son is 6. We found our first Geocache this morning and it was a lot of fun for him (and for me too!). We were thinking of starting our own Geocache. Does anyone have any reccomendations as to what to put inside? I was thinking a f...

We've been paperless caching now for about a month and are enjoying it. We download the GPX files in Pocket Queries and open them with GSAK (a free download with a one time US $20.00 registration fee if you like it). We sort the caches in GSAK and save them both as html pages and also in Streets and Trips for...

we recently purchased an explorist 600 gpsr and have purchased the software, we also became members, so we are able to download our waypoints directly to our gpsr. the problem that i have is that i can not figure out how to manually enter coordinates. when looking for multi-caches we have to enter the 2...

Basically just a quick question. The temperature's dropping like a stone lately, so it looks like winter's a-comin' (as if there's any alternative in Winnipeg :P). So... yeah, are most caches (such as the ground-based ones) all disabled for the winter, or are they left active to be dug out o...

We're attempting our first few hides in the next couple of weeks, but can't seem to figure out how to print off the First to Find Certificates. Is there a precedent for these, or does each cacher make one of their own? Ahem...as you can tell......we've have yet to see one...

Hi there, we've been wanting to spend a day at Birds Hill Park searching for caches. Can someone let me know how we can search just specifically for those caches? Thanks!! Angel

Kimi and I had a great time last night. Thank you grnbrg and your puppies for the another great get together. And it was also great to meet other geocachers last night.

The first question helped us know you have to enter the coordinates into the GPS- we just don't know how to enter the coordinates? Confused!

Lately I have been finding some items that shouldn't be in caches used as trading items. I thought that since some of the new players are coming here to check up on the sport, they could be helped by identifying what is considered inappropriate. There is a blurb on the GC.com...

Anyone have opinions on the best GPSr's to get? I like my Magellan SporTrack, but I've been thinking of getting a better one sometime. Are there some that are more accurate than others? My Dad farms, and he uses a GPS technology on his tractors that claim to be accurate within 3 inches (for covering the w...

I just purchased a Legend Cx on Saturday and am leaving for Vancouver on Tuesday morning. Anyone know where I can pick up a Metro Guide Canada CD on Monday? Seems like everywhere I look it is a special order item.

I have a eTrex Legend and need help on how to set out and find our first cache. I have seen the waypoint coordinates, but am not sure how to input the info into my GPS and start tracking. Do I need to download any more info from the internet in order to use the waypoints? Thanks for...

Lizardo · Lizardo

Am I wrong or does the elevation entry in a waypoint have any bearing on the accuracy of your position? I have noticed since using GSAK for transferring my waypoints into my Meridian, that I need to enter the elevation on site at times in order to get an accurate reading. I used to go to Google Earth...

I've been wondering if the brand of GPSr makes any difference in coordinates. I've read some logs on geocaching.com where one person says, "the coord's were dead-on", and a few logs later another cacher says the cache was 12m off. Is this dependent on conditions or on the different GPSr's? For th...

Before I started caching I planted a geocache with my uncle, the geocache is called Teal's Treasure. Now that I have my own account and use it all the time, I would like to transfer that geocache under my name. Is there any way of doing this?

I just have one simple question, what is the difference between travel bug dog tags and geo coins?
