Geocaching On Vacation

[+davmag]

going on a trip. Is there a way to print a list of caches in an area with coordinants and basic info. don't want to print a different page for each cache.

You could set up a blank document on your computer, then leave it open as you visit each cache page. You'd have to copy/paste the info from each cache page onto your new document, then print the new document.

You can do this with GSAK

Available at www.gsak.net

 

Just select the columns you want to print in the view screen and print the grid.

Listen to webscouter. Or if you are a premium member and can access waypoints, dumping them to your PDA is the way to go.

 

We download the waypoints to GSAK and then upload them to the PDA. All of the hints, coordinates, etc. are listed for your viewing pleasure. Makes our outings and vacations that much easier!

 

Good luck and have a great vacation!

I was going to ask a similar question... so I'll append it here.

 

In the case of UK->Continent (Spain, France) vacation. I ride a motorbike; so taking a PC is unlikely.

 

I was thinking:

• Plan possible caches on Google EarthReview
  
• (in English, etc.)
  
• add them to a book mark page
  
• pocket query download
  
• to PDA
  
• down load to GPS
  
• print ones that deserve it (pic clues, etc.)
  

and off I go... Sound about right?

Yep. I would do this before I had a PDA. You can get about five caches per page. (Obviously the question/answer caches take more)

Please do the sport a favor and do not place any caches while you are on vacation. Its hard to get them listed.

CO Admin,

 

I think people were just asking about caching while on vacation and not placing a cache while on vacation.

 

If this is not what was meant, please pardon me for being out of line.

 

Thanks!
