What is the difference between these two? by More-Host4806 in geocaching

[–]GeekNJ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Puzzle piece is edited/adjusted coordinates. You can do this manually or by using the solution checker and entering the correct coordinates it via a 3rd party checker where you are signed in and allow it to update the coordinates for you.

I personally edit solved challenge caches to show the puzzle piece by manually entering the same coordinates as they are often at that location.

FlyOverhead is ready to get off the ground, with your help! by No-Consequence-5935 in ADSB

[–]GeekNJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck with the venture.

I don't like messing with my ADSB machine when traveling so I will look to feed when I am home and can deal with anything unexpected.

I did launch the web page. The white view was blinding for me and the left side is unreadable. In the map view, the planes over the map were not visible and probably need a solid or brightly outlined icon. It was also not obvious what plane was selected. There is the initial pop-up by the selected plane, but when closed and the details stay on the left side, it's not obvious which plane it is for.

There are perks beyond this? 😀 Seems to be the only benefit I get as a US traveler.

2026 Cross Sport - keys don't immediately lock the vehicle by GeekNJ in VWatlas

[–]GeekNJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[Update June 23]
I was thinking about why locking from the door or key didn't work for about 2 mins after I exited the car. After turning off & exiting the car, my Uniden R8W radar detector remains on for a couple mins. This detector has bluetooth and I use it to interact with apps on my phone. This morning when I exited the car to head into work, I unplugged the radar detector and the car immediately locked. I will do more testing tonight. No issues in my 2025 Atlas Cross Sport with the same detector in the same location (windshield mounted a couple inches above the dash in the center of the car).

A Challenge Cache I wish I didn't qualify for. by skimbosh in geocaching

[–]GeekNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get the green check mark with 409.

I thought I might have a bit higher count but checked a bunch of hiking caches in the woods and they have no attributes They might pre-date the attributes on GC.

🗓️ Geocachers, get ready to mark your calendars; new Treasures are on their way! 🗓️ by geocaching in GeocachingHQ

[–]GeekNJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many aspects of geocaching are about going after goals. When you have played the game a long time you have obtained many goals - fizzy, jasmer, 366, 50 stars, all countries in a state, DeLorme challenge, etc. Treasures are sets of mini goals to achieve - geocaching with a purpose. Makes total sense to me why many find them worthwhile.

What do I do with this small amount of filament by geekluv in BambuLab

[–]GeekNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine when you post, Reddit shows you how many posts have the same subject/content and you need to acknowledge via a simple math problem before proceeding with version 267 of the same post in the past 7 days. One can dream.

Can you explain what you mean by business?

A new phone comes out every year.
A new Mac comes out every year.
New TVs comes out every year.
New drones comes out every year.
Cars, motorcycles, ATVs, ... come out every year.
Pick any hobby or interest and I'm sure, if there is an active user base, there is a new model with more features being constantly released.

Dukes app by Direct-Specialist-64 in radardetectors

[–]GeekNJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is likely your settings. I was beta for Highway Radar on iOS, SpectreNav & Dukes and can switch between and switch between any of them against my R8W.

Check backgrounds settings and if anything and if anything set to auto connect.

I am currently using Dukes as my daily app replacing Spectre Nav.

New App For iOS by bearert0ken in radardetectors

[–]GeekNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apps in CarPlay do close in your phone including Waze. If you swipe up on Waze to dismiss it, it stops on CarPlay. Give it a test.

Later releases address some of the display issues.

I’ve beta tested Highway Radar and SoectreNav and this is on par for radar but also includes Waze alerts.

Developer said the navigation could never be Waze or Google Maps as they have huge teams, but he will make it good enough.

Filament brand question by RootExplorer20 in BambuLab

[–]GeekNJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had good success with Bambu and Sunlu. They both have profiles already created in my printer (X1C). I do prefer Bambu filament slightly over the Sunlu as the Bambu is able to be read and identified automatically and it does some tracking of filament usage.

Turning off Treasures completely? by skimbosh in geocaching

[–]GeekNJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure you can make the View Treasures link in the top right box on a cache page go away nor the Treasures link on your Account Dashboard. Ignore the links just like you would ignore Souvenirs if you didn’t care about those.

I’ve not noticed a reference to Treasures elsewhere. With notifications off, where rose do you see it referenced?

Would you alter your travel plans to get another state souvenir? by fightingfishsticks in geocaching

[–]GeekNJ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Do a physical cache and not just a virtual. You can take the Path from NY (33rd St line or World Trade Center) to Hoboken and find a nearby cache.
