  1. Hi all.

    I'm new to geocaching. i'm still trying to figure the app out as well as using compass and all the other premium features. My question is is there a way to organize a caching outing to get the most caching. What I mean is I don't want to be driving back and forth doing a bunch of backtracking. Is there a tool or something that will help to organize caches so I can save as much time and gas as possible while getting more caches in the process.

     

    Thanks in advance

    Sorry if I posted in wrong area or if question has already been answered

    What I've always done is go to the area I'm interested in on the geocaching map.

     

    I make up a list of caches to hunt for, and put them in order that will take the least amount of backtracking.

     

    I print out the map, zoomed in as much as possible while still showing the targeted caches. I will actually write on the map printout "1", "2", "3", etc.

     

    But some times the driver likes to do his own thing, eventually asking me "where's the next cache?" At that point, I'm confused and will say "I have no idea! Where are we???" :laughing:

     

    Another idea is to make a bookmark list. The caches will be ordered by distance.

    And there's the "Caches along a route" option, which I haven't used for years. I forget how it works, or if it really was that helpful. I don't think that we look for enough caches in one go to make this helpful for us.

    How do you make the list? By hand from looking at the map? Or is there a way to sort and print a bookmark list? Do you just do a screen shot? Thanks.
