"GC code"

Recommended Posts

I was wondering how does geo caching.com create GC codes????

Each cache is uniquely identified by one of three things:

 

1. GUID : a 128 bit randomly generated number with certain bits fixed.

2. Geocache ID : a unique number that's sequentially given out when a new cache is submitted (even if it is not active / not eventually published)

3. GC Code. It's a direct mapping of the geocache ID to a code. Markwell has a good explanation of this. FizzyCalc can perform the mapping for you.
