You are correct that we try to welcome anyone with an interest in geocaching and GPS, but at the same time, being new to the sport, people are a bit leary about just sending you money. You are right that deals like that and group purchases are common practice, but since the licensing agreement doesn't specifically allow such a thing, I was concerned about tech support and legal issues. Lew, I saw the actual prices too, and it is a nice deal if you can get some people to go in together. They were quite impressed with the site maps I had created using data obtained with my GPS and manipulated with ExpertGPS.Īs an aside, I used to race Mopar products and my brother works on the race circuit. In fact I just met yesterday with the Soil and Water Conservation District and the NRCS arm of the USDA. Each of us buys our GPS units for different purposes. In my case I bought my GPS to survey my property and plan my wildlife habitat restoration efforts. I assumed this forum was not just for those who were actively geocaching but those who used and appreciated their GPS units and the software that goes with it. Regarding Geocaching, I am hoping that at some point I can participate in that aspect of GPSing. If you had continued in to the form where you make your purchase you can clearly see the volume purchasing options: I too was surprised to see the volume pricing. Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon. We are all just looking out for each other here. The admins do a great job about killing the posts asap, but some have slipped by them for a few days. if you read here often enough, you know that some sort of con or scam gets posted here every few weeks. No offense meant to Vividere, but the fact that such a group purchase was allowed, coupled with the fact your profile shows 0/0 hides/finds, and your business website, it's gonna raise a few eyebrows, as well it should. Nowhere did it state that group purchases such as Vividere suggested were allowed, nor mention of limited support for such purchases. The red flag went up for me after checking out Īnd only seeing licensing info for Personal, Family, Small Business, Corporate, Government, and School purchases. You might want to update your licensing page to reflect this, Dan. TopoGrafix: GPS Software, Waypoints, and Maps (And if your Geocaching club wants to raffle off a copy of ExpertGPS at their next picnic, just ask!)įeel free to contact me if you have any further questions about group purchases of ExpertGPS. There are some very active local Geocaching clubs out there, and I'd be thrilled to arrange group discounts for their members. If you're willing to accept some limits on the technical support you receive, a group purchase is a great way to get the software. The bottom line: I don't want anyone to feel that they can't have access to the tools in ExpertGPS because of the price. I wasn't aware that he was planning to organize a group over the Geocaching forums, but I'll stick by my initial statement to him and honor any group discount he can arrange. In this case, Lew contacted me by email and asked if he could put together a group purchase. If you have a question about the software or need assistance, you need to go to your license contact for support. In addition, the license contact is the person in charge of coordinating technical support for the group. The license contact is responsible for collecting the money, submitting the payment, and distributing the group license. One person is the contact person for the group. There are some restrictions on group license purchases. In some cases, an individual has rounded up a few friends with similar interests to form a group for the singular purpose of buying ExpertGPS. Some are local geocaching, hunting, or 4x4 clubs. Many groups have taken advantage of this pricing to get ExpertGPS at a reduced price for their members. TopoGrafix offers discounts for group purchases of ExpertGPS. Since a number of people asked for my policy on group discounts, here it is.
