question on Geocaching features

[+Jester966]

Is there a way to:

Display the geocaches in my area on one map?

Select several caches to download to my GPS together, rather than one at a time?

Display a Bug's travel as a map? (If not then why? I think that would be neat!)

 

Thanks!

All these functions are available.

 

I'm moving your thread from the website feature request and bug report forum, over to the "Getting Started" forum. There, helpful geocachers will provide detailed answers to your questions.

Oops, sorry for posting in the wrong forum. Thanks for moving it.

If you become a Premium Member of this site, you can get Pocket Queries. Each of these can return as many as 500 caches, and you can get five per day . . .

 

Markwell has a great tutorial on Pocket Queries.

 

Once you are getting all that data, you might find that a program like GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife) is helpful for sending the waypoints to your GPS unit, Exporting for your mapping software or for Google Earth, or for Exporting in the correct format for your PDA so you can cache "paperless."

 

I'm sure others will respond to your additional questions.

As a non-premium member you can only download 20 caches at a time using .loc files from the nearest cache page. If you become a Premium member you can download up to 2500/day using 5 Pocket queries of up to 500 caches each. Typically, people start out as non-Premium members and then convert once they find that they really enjoy geocaching.
