brdad, your map shows caches on maps 57 and 48. Are they still active and if so, what are the waypoints?

I will have my laptop with me on Saturday, I'll try to answer any questions.
That's innacurracy of the map on such a big scale. the two you see on 57 are on the bottom of 63, and the one you see on 48 should be on 49. Hmmm, I may have to re-check my calibration ;-)Quote:

Actually, the mark on 48 is the now archived Nana's Ladybug Cache. So, my calibration is close as it's gonna get...
Depending on how my day goes tomorrow, I hope to have a cache placed on map 46. Got a heads up from a local of a pretty spot by a waterfall. I'll check it out.
Nice job on the map Dave. Looks as good as my 4' map taking up space in the office!
Remember on the inside cover there is a blue box that states that the map cant be electronically stored or copied
;)
I won't tell if you don't tell . . . and I imagine that the copyright is for those seeking to make copies for a profitable venture. Where's our "legal eagle" TRF when you need him -- he could probably explain it better. ;) :DQuote:

Isn't the Holiday Inn Express great??!!! I stayed there just once mind you!!:D :D :D :D :D
Hmmm . . . maybe I should stop staying at those hotel dives and then maybe I'd learn something besides the going rates in the town I'm staying at. ;) :DQuote:

The fix is simple. :) After downloading the spreadsheet go to the page ME delorme calc, cell AD44, and enter a 10 there. It is in the yellow shaded area to the right of 402. Then save the sheet.
Sorry for the error.
Map 46 is now populated. It should post in a day or two.
Man, that's a lot of driving, but worth it. I found a real pretty spot.
I was tring to see just how accurate my map was calibrated, so I decided to make a track file which drew out all the grids on the Maine Gazateer. It took a lot of hand editing but it works great. The photo below shows how it would show up in USAPhotomaps. It could also be converted to other formats, or even uploaded to your GPS.
The track file in CSV format is here. (Works with USAPhotomaps)
The track file in Mapsource format is here.

Can someone please post the text of a single cache GPX file converted to the Excel Workbook file so that I can see exactly how the data has to be in the file?
Maybe Sabby can help you out as he is the one who sent me that excel sheet that you saw at the event.
We are already working on it
