Note vs DNF

So I spent $80 and bought a bluetooth GPS receiver puck to work with my 8830 BB.  I was noticing a couple of things yesterday.

When I go to see previous logs, if someone has left a "Write Note" for a cache, it shows up on GN as "Didn't Find It."  I just proved that again by writing a note on a new cache that I have not found, and it shows up on the screen that i Didn't Find it.  That may be discouraging to people, thinking there are a lot of DNF's on a cache. 

In the cache listings I have found that the icon next to Earth caches show up with the "Event" (quotation bubble) icon.  Not the traditional little earth looking icon.  Someone may think they are seeing an event cache that is coming up, or already passed but not archived.

Re: Note vs DNF
Excellent bug reports.

I had also noticed the "Didn't Find It." bug.  Anything that is not marked as found shows up as a DNF.  We'll see if we can get that fixed in the near future.

I hadn't noticed the icon  issue though.  I'll log that bug in our system.

BTW: how does it work with your bluetooth?  I haven't tried it with a bluetooth myself.

Thanks!

Seems to work just fine.  I have noticed that there are a couple of times that I have to start GN, shut it down, and start it up again to get it to make connection to the puck.  That just may be the puck itself though.  For reference, I am using the iTrek M5+ Bluetooth receiver.
