+HaLiJuSaPa Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Maybe we're thinking of different things, but isn't it still there? If you're thinking of the Zip Code lookup on the upper right corner of the GC.com home page, it's still there I just used it. Link to comment
+ma&pa kettle Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 sorry. what i mean is, when you go to find the zip code for a town...not just the zip code. there used to be a link to a zip code lookup feature that disappeared when the changes took place. Link to comment
+Sunrayers Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 We used to use that Zip Code Lookup feature ALL the time and really miss it!! I hope the powers that be decide to bring it back!! PLEASE !!! Link to comment
+Stunod Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 (edited) Just bookmark THIS WEB PAGE http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown.jsp Edited June 17, 2007 by Stunod Link to comment
iryshe Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 You can look up a location by address, city, whatever now. Why would you need to look up a zipcode? http://www.geocaching.com/seek First option. We could put it back but it seems redundant to me. Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Jeremy, you are the man. And I completely respect that, but I'm wondering if perhaps it's not clear to people that you can put the city in the "Address" field and search directly by the city in that box. So, they are looking to search for the zip code. Maybe an additional instruction on that page would help them. Link to comment
+Trucker Lee Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 When using the "Search with Google Maps" option, you can input the zip code number into the search box. It will take you there, although zoomed a bit much to be really useful. You can then back the zoom out to locate caches. The only problem I have with this is that I cannot easily do a data search for the caches to download as a PQ. Instead, it seems one must first click each cache to put them into the box above the map, open the cache page, bookmark, then run PQ on the bookmark list. Is there an easier way? Link to comment
+lostlookingforyou Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 It would be nice to have the option of finding a location by address,city in the advance search options. We used the postal codes, then have it exclude hidden/found caches. Now we just do a PQ. Thanks to Stunod for the bookmark. Link to comment
