but this is where it kinda went south.
the gps in the n810 were not able to guide us any more precise than that. even standing still the co-ords and distance to cache kept changing with up to 50-60 feet in any direction.
we spent a good 30 mins trying to poke around the area but were unable to find anything.

the rating od this cache was 1/1

thanks again...
Like i said last night do not get discouraged by DNFs, they happen. You may have to try 2 or 3 caches before you get the eye for the game. Also Public Area Urban caches get muggled quite often. If you are having trouble getting to within 20 or so (20 feet is close enough to hunt the container but the closer the better) feet try holding the n810 away from your body to allow for a better signal. Also make sure you did not lock the compass by tapping on it inside of GPXviewer. A 1/1 micro has even outsmarted me before. Also do not forget to read the cache page there is almost always some useful info on there.

You will get a smiley some day soon
