Geocoin/TB tracking suggestions


Uncopyrighted

Recommended Posts

I think if I'm holding on to a TB or Geocoin for a couple days then it should automatically be placed/recovered from every cache I visit from the time I pick it up to the time I place it... that way, if I'm on a long road trip then it doesn't just jump from one place to the other, but you can actually see where I took it.

 

Also, the "cache found" entry form should also let me log any TBs/coins right there, with a blank for the tracking code. I hate having to log all the caches, then go back and log all of the trackables afterwards... or, if I pick up a trackable and say "Retrieved from xxx" then it should automatically log a visit to that cache.

 

Also, it should be easier to say that a TB/coin is not in a certian cache. I like to let people know that their cache does not contain the trackables that it claims to, but when I do so then it is added to my "discovered TB/coins" list. I think when I log a cache entry there should be a list of checkboxes for each TB that is supposed to be in the cache and I can uncheck the ones that I did not find in the cache.

Also... I'd like to see a google map route created to show all of the caches that a trackable has visited. I know there is a map and you can jump from one spot to the next, but it's hard to follow, and I often don't know what area the map is showing. A line showing the bugs movement from cache to cache would be pretty cool... and maybe a datestamp on each waypoint on the course.

There is this already. It's under Trackable Item Options called View in Google Earth.

I don't know if this feature exists somewhere I haven't found yet, but I have a bunch of coins at large and I'd really like to be able to pull up a map that shows where they all are at that point in time.

It would be really cool to be able to get a kml file that would put my coins in Google Earth.
