That truly is a bonus. I just wish that I could get the waypoints to sort in 
alphabetical order too. It would make it nice when your just driving along and 
you do a get nearest waypoint on your GPS. Now, I have to wade through screen 
after screen to find the correct mileage from my search. On the Palm you don't 
have many listed on one screen and if you customize your reports with several 
hundred miles from your location, then that's a lot of scrolling and looking at 
every page until you find that waypoint.

Other than that, I love it too. It is well worth 30.00 a year!

  I don't know what I would do without Geocaching.com. I gladly pay the meager 
yearly fee to get the additional perks. Before I joined the premium membership, 
I didn't think much about it, but after I became a premium member about 4 
months ago, I don't know what I would do without it. I love it that I can put 
the cache pages on my palm, and that they will email me customized cache 
searches numerous times a week to add to my palm. That is just awesome. I don't 
think that there are any premium member only caches around here, but that is 
ok. The palm pilot thing is worth it.

  something. Keeping a low profile might be a good idea.

Eric,

I think that's pretty normal. When I look through the logs on my caches,
there's always some entries that weren't posted on GC.com. Most seem to be
legitimate finds, not accidental, so they are trying to find them with a GPS
or compass. They might just be concerned about having to signup on GC.com
and getting SPAM or whatever. It gives them a chance to take the hike and
enjoy the hunt without any feedback about how or why they should have done
something. Keeping a low profile might be a good idea.
