AtLeast3 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I travel a lot in my work and have found geocaching to be a great way to spend weekends and evenings while on the road. Is there a way to map all of the geocaches that I've found? Haven't found a lot but would be interesting to see them on a world map. Thanks AtLeast3 Quote Link to comment
+Knight2000 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) Become a premium member and get the pocket query for all of your geocache finds. Then load that file into Google Earth. Edited August 2, 2009 by Knight2000 Quote Link to comment

savant9 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Drag and drop the gpx file onto GE. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 The getting started forum is for new geocachers with questions about the sport. This will fit better in the general fourm so I am moving it there. Quote Link to comment
+Hrethgir Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Do what I did: get a personal Travel Bug, back-dip it through all your finds in the order you found them, and then when you check your trackables, there will be a map in there showing your finds and the mileage you've covered. Check out my accound to see what I'm talking about. It will cost you a TB to do this, but they aren't too expensive. I got mine when I was in the 40's for finds, like you, and it took a little while to back-log it through all my previous finds, but it wasn't that bad. Quote Link to comment
+Knight2000 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Load a file in to Google Earth...... Open Google Earth. File > Open Make sure you click the drop down to open .gpx files. Select your file and view all the caches you have been to.
