* Changed software version number from 6.1 to 6.3.

....

Uhh, thanks for letting us how about the version change, Garmin.

I'm #10

As of this weekend, I broke into the top 10 Geocachers in the Bay Area based on number of cache finds. I don't think it's really about how many caches you've found, but I like the concept of 'collecting' things.

I doubt I'll ever get higher than #10 as the people above me are all more obsessive than me and there are some below me on a much more agressive pace.

Still, it's fun to think with 1612 caches found I'm in the top 75 in the world.

So what does 1612 geocaches look like? I recently wrote some code to see, using GPSBabel and the Tiger Map Service.
