+Team Wendycat Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hello there guys, really need your help. I get the traditional caches and usually do not have a problem with them but with the caches where you have to figure out the coordinates, I can't seem to find the place on a map. I have the coordinates right but is there any type of internet thing where I can just type in the coordinates and the place will pop up on a map for me???? I spent 2 hours today of hiking around trying to get a FTF when I realized that I had been looking at the wrong place completey. Then I found myself wanering around aimlessly through the neighborhood with no luck. I'm so very frustrated! Please help. Quote Link to comment
+Prime Suspect Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Google maps, for one. Just put the coordinates in the search bar. Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 It's hard to beat Google maps, but sometimes you need an aerial photo and Google doesn't have a high-res version available. Or, you need a topographic map. For these cases, an easy interface for entering multiple freehand waypoints is available using the mapping tools at http://www.geocachingadmin.com Quote Link to comment

There are cachers out there that have 60+ finds using only google earth including multi's or you could just buy a GPS Quote Link to comment
