A Geocacher’s Firefox

Most people these days use Firefox as their main web browser. Firefox has an interesting aspect that I didn’t even realize until recently…the ability to be customized. There are lots of options for customizing small aspects of how Firefox performs. Today, I thought I would provide a resource one some of these customizations that are designed for the geocacher in you.

Cache Stats Update

For those who have been following my blog for a while, you may remember I did a three part feature on a program called Cache Stats last summer. For those who didn’t read about them, and you’d like my review of the different features, then just pop into the Software category you see to the right and you’ll see the posts. So why bring this up again? Logicweave, the small software company (okay, a single person) that built the program has released an update.

Projecting a Waypoint

Soon after I started geocaching, I purchased a Garmin eTrex Legend so that I could have a GPSr of my own. I had used one before and it seemed easy to use. Plus, the price was more affordable at the time considering the options it had. But, even a year and a half later, I’m still learning new things about it. Today, I learned how to project a waypoint, a feature I hadn’t really thought about as an option in the past even though I could have used it.

Cache Stats Part 3

Okay. I know I’m a bit late getting this up. It’s been busy for me. I would have had this up last week but I was in Lincoln and the image files I needed were back here at home. So it had to wait. Today’s post will finish my overview of the features of Cache Stats. Here we go.

Cache Stats – Part 2

In the last post, I introduced a piece of software called Cache Stats, a simple program you can run on your computer to keep track of your caching statistics. We gave a basic overview of the main screen. Let’s start today by giving a simple rundown of those basic stats before we examine some of the additional options it provides. If you’re a premium member and would like to follow along, you need to go to the “Cache Stats” link to the right and download the program along with requesting a “My Finds” pocket query.  If you aren’t a premium member, you will need to sign up to be able to use this program.
