searching for by number

[davenjulie]

Hi

 

I have been reading the forums and I notice people writing about a cache like GC13RXE, GCZFK4 and so on how do I search for those, to see where and what they are,

 

TIA

 

Dave

These are waypoints, so on the main GC page down the bottom, you can search via waypoint.

Also, on your Profile page, from the links on the left side - Go to "Hide & Seek a cache", then green section "Seek a cache", near the bottom > "Search by Waypoint".

 

Have a look here for other useful information for new geocachers.

[+hiho9]

Originally Waypoints, now I've no idea

[+Bear and Ragged]

If you use Firefox as your browser, you can get "Geocaching Waypoint" in the search engine bit at the top of the page!

[+Bear and Ragged]

Not only, but also

 

http://gmscripts.locusprime.net/Add_Waypoint_Finder.html

 

Add Waypoint Finder

 

This script replicates the handy waypoint search box that you see on the Geocaching.com home page, to every other page on the site (except pages that already have a search box). And it goes the home page search box one better - you can also enter Travel Bug TBxxxxx IDs, and it will take you to that Travel Bug page (note, this ID is not the same as the tracking code).

How do you do that please?

Someone has to ask the difficult question!

 

I'm looking for it... Can't remember where I found it, I've had it so long!

[+Bear and Ragged]

AHA!!!

You need

1. Firefox

2. Greasemonkey

3. Then go to the above link.

 

Also goodies here

http://gmscripts.locusprime.net/Seek_Logging.html

 

And, if it's still there, there was a 'pinned' topic in the threads up top...

These are waypoints, so on the main GC page down the bottom, you can search via waypoint.

 

I've always thought it's in a stupid place. It should be right at the top, I think.

I use an Add-On called OpenSearchFox that allows you to add any search box from any page you want.....very useful

Yea, OK...

 

But you DO need it for the other bits, if you install them!

[bikermel76]

Or to save yourself even going to GC.com > search> scroll down page to Waypoint search box...

 

...instead use: http://coord.info/GCXXXXX

 

GENIUS, nice one Groundspeak

This is the best search page (for my needs anyway): Geocaching Portal

and you can add shortcuts to GAGB forums, PQ page etc.
