Re: The Reverse Cache not working in WheriGeooh
Reply #4 –
Here are the steps I took to get the "distance to cache" readings (assuming WheriGeooh is open, the cartridge loaded and a new game has been started)...
1. Open "Inventory" and select "Reverse Cache Box".
2. Click on "Display Distance".
3. The Reverse Cache Box displays the distance to the cache. Click "OK".
4. Move to the next location.
5. Repeat steps 2 - 4.
I found the cache yesterday, so I know the final coordinates. Today I did some testing. I set a waypoint in my GPSr matching the location of the cache. Next I went to a arbitrary location, "A", and, using my GPSr, determined the correct distance to the cache to be 0.9 miles. I then got a distance reading using WheriGeooh of 0.6 miles. I immediately took another reading and saw a distance of 1.7 miles. I continued taking readings and over about a 90 second period the WheriGeooh readings gradually got closer the the actual distance until it held steady at the correct distance. I then moved to location "B", which was 0.6 miles from the cache. My first reading from WheriGeooh was 0.9 miles (same as the last reading at location "A"). The second reading was 1.2 miles, and subsequent readings gradually got closer to the actual distance until I finally got the correct distance. I moved twice more between locations "A" and "B" with similar results.
I then moved to location "A" and, before getting the distance from WheriGeooh, I opened Google Maps and watched the blue location symbol quickly (less than 10 seconds) move to my location on the map. I then took a reading with WheriGeooh and got the correct result. I repeated this a location "B" with the same results. This is how I was able to work around the problem with WheriGeooh not giving the correct distance on the initial readings.
You mentioned I could create waypoints in Geooh Live. I'm sure it is simple, but I can not find how to create a waypoint. Could you please explain or point me to an article that explains how to create a waypoint? Also, you said I could display circles around points. Is this done by using the "Show Geocache Radius" setting or can I set different radii for different waypoints?
