LANMonkey
joins
DarrylW4 to talk over a variety of topics for the one-hundred
sixty-seventh edition of the GeoGearHeads. They started with a
discussion of Pi Day and the
Happy Pi Day Souvenirs. simrebel
emailed about "The Great Norfolk to
Norfolk TB Race 2015." Darryl also requested that GeoGearHeads
wishing to trade Pathtags
email him to set up their trade for his "DarrylW4
10 Years of Podcasting" PathTag (listen to the show for
details). Next up was the release of the new search feature on
Geocaching.com as announced on the
Geocaching Blog, and through their
FAQ.
Cedar & Co. emailed about the efforts to get Cachers out in
the winter – "Atlantic
BattleCache 2015 Event" (GC5GZZ3,
see their web
page) and "Scabblecache."
DuneBuddy emailed about options for caching the GeoGearHeads
YouTube videos for offline use. That's a function YouTube had been
talking about adding to the mobile apps. He also recommended
AlternativasLibres.es;
Routable Maps for Garmin, GPS File Depot, and
garmin.openstreetmap.nl as
sources for Garmin GPSR Owners to get free OpenStreetMap tiles for their
devices. Wet_Coaster
asked whether Challenge Caches have their own icon.
Oh Beep! wanted to know the one feature on your preferred
geocaching site that you wouldn't be without.
