[Tadpole]

I am a bit new to this forum. What does Tadpole mean under my avitar?

[SCREEN NAME IS MORE THAN AN ALIAS]

Just a goofy name I made up... Sniffing the Globe, looking for caches.

[SCREEN NAME IS MORE THAN AN ALIAS]

Does anyone know how to find out a geocachers ID#?

 

In the forums, hold your cursor over their name.

Now if they do not use the forums then you have to do a pocket query of caches that they have hidden.

Now if they have no hidden caches, I'm not sure how you find their super secret probationary number, I don't think GSAK shows id's of loggers of others cachers.

 

Also, if in the forum, you can click on their name and it will appear in the end of the URL. I just found this out. Thanks for the other suggestions, though.

[Is there an address to coordinates web page?]

I know of web sites like map quest which will map a coordinate, but is there a free site which will do the opposite?

 

Like after you have mapped an address, there would be a button to get that address's coordinates.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

That is all.

GlobeSniffer Writes: I have used this site before to grab coordinates for just about anywhere in the U.S.

You cannot type in an address, but you can seach by city, state or zip, and you can mark a spot anywhere on the map and get coordinates, or visa-versa.
