+Lawtechie Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 On my local group boards, someone implied they can "search the new caches in my area"... feature on gc.com. Is there such a thing? Other than using PQ are we able to search exclusively for new caches in our area? Quote Link to comment
+caderoux Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 There is a caches by state listing which shows them in descending order by date hidden. I find that useful, but its usefulness depends how many caches are hidden in your state and where. Premium members can preview their PQs and it's pretty easy to get only new caches using that technique, too. Quote Link to comment
+Colorado Cacher Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 There is. And everytime I find the damned thing its by pure luck and no memory on my part. I can nevef get back into it! Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Go the the advanced search page from the main. Click on the State of choice from there, and the search results will show the most recently placed caches on top. Quote Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Another simple way is to go to the Hide and Seek a Cache page. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/ You can search from your zip code or go down further and enter the coordinates for your house or office or hotel or whatever. Quote Link to comment
+LSUMonica Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Try... Click on "My Account" Look to the upper right hand side of the page. There is a link to search for nearest caches from home coordinates. (Assuming you entered these.) Right underneath there is a link for "List Newest in" your state name Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 On my local group boards, someone implied they can "search the new caches in my area"... feature on gc.com. Is there such a thing? Other than using PQ are we able to search exclusively for new caches in our area? Have you signed up to recieve the weekly email notification? They are all new caches hidden within the past week (sometimes two) within 100 miles of you. It's been so long I can't remember where it is, but I think it's from "my account" page.

+CYBret Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 You can also set up a pocket query like this to do the same thing for you. Bret Quote Link to comment
+Lawtechie Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) Knew about those suggestions, but it doesn't really help overall. Being in Philly, I really don't want to wade through Pittsburgh caches. Wouldn't call that 'my area'. Suggestion for change in the future, perhaps? And yes, I signed up for the email, but the person was looking for on-the-fly access to the latest and greatest caches nearby. Thanks for the responses.
