Yeah. I goofed the link. Sorry, not used to the forum software... Try this: GooleMaps + Geocaching bookmarklets

I wanted to be able to view geocaches with GoogleMaps instead of Mapquest, Yahoo, etc. So, I wrote a pair of javascript bookmarklets to do it. I thought maybe other cachers out there might benefit from them as well. It doesn't look like I'm able to post html links with embedded javascript, so here's a link to a writeup (with links to the bookmarklets) on my blog: GoogleMaps Geocaching Bookmarklets

Hey all, I'm a definite newbie here (1 found), but already I've got a question for the Geocaching community: Is there an established way of greeting other people you find near a cache site that would identify you as a fellow geocacher (assuming the other person was in-the-know)? I'm thinking something like a greeting/response pair that we'd use to recognize each other but not give ourselves away to Muggles. Example: Bob is near the cache site and sees Alice sitting on a nearby rock. "The kangaroo is dead and moldy," says Bob. Alice recognizes this coded phrase and replies "Yes, but it tastes like chicken." Note: these example phrases have been chosen to make a point and are NOT a suggested greeting/response pair. =-) So, does anything like this exist yet, and if not, should we come up with a standard?
