Marking Cache as found/not found
Is there a way to edit the actual log from the field when marking as found/not found? This would be helpful in writing about the "experience" while you are actually "experiencing it" . Its not too hard to remember when you find one or two at a time, but during the times you rack up 20-30 it becomes difficult. Just a thought...

Re: Marking Cache as found/not found
i am also interested in this, not too excited about still having to log in to the site to actually mark caches as found/not found.  cant this integrate better with the existing wap site?

Your right.  you can mark them as found/not found.  At this point though you do need to go into geocaching.com and push a button to tell it to make that turn that log on. 

They do this to encourage more meaningful logs than a simple "found" or "not found"  :-)

I guess on blackberry it would be cool if the application allowed you to enter your full log (since you have a keyboard).  But on older phones it would be horrible to enter a meaningful log from the phone :-) 

Does anyone think we should have this feature for normal phones also?

We'll see if we can add this feature to the list.  Thanks for the suggestion!

Re: Marking Cache as found/not found

I can see both points of view. I use the N95 and while i'm only doing one cache in a weekend, it's no problem to remember events around the find once we are home. But if i am on holiday visiting several caches in one day, it can be a bit frustrating having to remember events around every cache find.

I vote for getting the feature on all devices if that is ok? It would help me when i'm out and about.

Thanks for taking the time to consider adding it as a feature.

Gus.

Re: Marking Cache as found/not found
I'm a new GN user (downloaded the 30 day free trial) and was getting online to see if I missed something where it would allow you to write a short note. Without it, I need to either keep a note in my BB for each cache or use the wap geocaching site to log it. Otherwise, I would need to keep paper/pen handy to log the finds if you're doing more then a small number.
