    I've been working on a "Google Spy" cache for some time in which I incorporated a European street view but life keeps on interrupting, so it's progressing slowly. But while this is in the open now - how many people would you think have access /use this and the Panoramio photos in GE?

    Please help

    Thanks everyone! Still have to look at the details - think MnCo's gmapcatcher might work.

    To clarify... Yes, I took over Noah's hand held Magellan. Small screen, old maps and not a great battery life but accurate and more than sufficient for caching. What I mean with GC map is...

    All I want is a simple street map with the cache locations on it, which I'd like to print (ye, I'm a hard copy kinda guy...) for general referencing. I do use the GE cache viewer online. My perfect solution would be that cache view functionality in G Maps (what the above actually is). I am a PM and do use pocket queries which works great on the GPS itself but Trev can you down load that info to G Maps or openstreetmaps (which I don't know)? DamhuisClan how do you "drop" something in GE? Could I maybe also "drop" it in G Maps?

    Will let you know when I had time to investigate your suggestions.

    Have a specific question but thought a general topic for help seekers can help manage clutter.

     

    My question - can one somehow download the geocaching maps? Even as an image. Or maybe export to Google maps? There should be something better than screen print...

    (know that some will be puzzled by why I would want to do this if you have a GPS... mostly for places/countries I don't have a base map for and sometimes to safe battery power)

    Looks like Tennis, Cheese and a School Bell by The Sunrise Crew

     

    My magtig, I'm impressed! Went out of my way to keep the photo off our profile but iNokia is one of the 4 cachers that have found this one - FTF nogal! Way off the beaten track and therefore one that we enjoyed very much. Have a look at Tennis, Cheese and a School Bell.

     

    Over to you iNokia.

    Botanically speaking it falls within the grassland biome (but I don't have the foggiest how the Karoo is classified geologically, so it might be Karoo grassland...) - Go east young man.

    Can only be Muratie. My wife hates their "ambiance", so it's pretty much burned into my memory... Had to check the map to see if it's Fine Wine 1 or 2 (which is at Delheim just up the road).

    Jannie comes lately… just to take Henzz’s reference to cache size further: Size does matter… the published cache size is one of the most important pieces of info in the cache description. It usually gives you a clear indication of where to search and/or what to look for.

    E.g. I think 99.9% of all regular caches are hidden “under rocks”, have never seen a nano that’s not magnetic and micros can only fit in so many places (around GZ) – except of cause if they are hanging in Karoo-bossies… :)
