Difference In Pages For Caches

[+Team Ballibeg]

I'm stumbling along through the new world of geocaching. I've been using the interactive map here http://stats.guk2.com/caches/flash_map.php to find caches in my neck of the woods. I've noticed that if I click on a cache from the interactive map the page it brings up at geocache.com has a link from the OS Grid Ref to Streetmap. I am finding this very useful to give me a rough reckoning to the area its in.

 

However when I search geocache.com and bring up a page for a cache this link isnt there.......

 

Do geocache.com have 2 versions of each cache page? Or am I missing something!!!

 

Also can Mapsource import Loc or GPX files? At the minute i load them onto easygps, send to GPS, then from GPS to Mapsource. Seems clunky??

 

Thanks folks,

 

Dave

Look in the top right hand corner and you will see you are logged in as geocacheuk this gives you the helpfull stuff but its only available clicking from the GUK site.

You will also see better UK mapping options farther down the page.

Try the tools section on GUK as well its great.

You can "Drag & Drop" your Unzipped PQ straight into MapSource

 

Edited to add

Make sure you have the latest version 6.7.

Thanks for the tips.

 

I thought link to Streetmap was just a link to their homepage, great to see map of location.

 

Updating Mapsource now.

 

Cheers,
