caches by county

[+dysdera]

Does anyone know where the map to show which caches by county you have done. To the best of my memory it showed a coloured map which had different colours for whether you had cached in that county or not, and also enabled you to insert this into your profile page??

Is it the map in our profile or there is one from its not about the numbers which also shows a number found per county.

It is the map in your profile and the snazzy list, I want one.

The map in your profile and the "snazzy list" does, indeed come from It's not about the numbers

 

It's a great little gadgetty thing, but you do keep having to update it via a Pocket Query!

The maps come from geocacheuk.com, if you are not already you will need to sign up for that site. Its free, and has some good features, alas its a little out of date as GC.com keep changing things so it takes a little time to get back.

 

When you are signed up there you need to enter the following on your profile, the first paragraph is the map with the green and red dots the second is the county one, use either or both its up to you. This is the code for your account if anyone else wants to use it, delete the six digit number and enter your own number (take that from your own profile page and hover over the "See the forum posts for this user" link at the bottom of the page is a link shown its the last six digits you need to enter.

The snazzy list comes from GSAK and there is a macro to download from the gsak forums.

 

Hope that helps.

Another approach to generate automatic county maps:

Log onto geocacheuk and look at your stats. There is an ID number associated with your user name.

enter the following with your own ID in place of c=12345678:

There really needs to be a quick and easy way to generate these map image addresses...

Go for it, until there is I'll stick with the one I use. (all the other ones I have tried are eithe not Mac friendly or requre use of the fine adjustment hammer!)
