gopogo120 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I was just wondering if there are any geocaches that can be seen from google maps street view. I just thought it would be cool to be able to see the physical container from your computer. If you know of any, please post a picture or a link. ~Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+SwineFlew Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 And sign your name on the pic and claim it as a find!!!!! Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 You mean, like this? Quote Link to comment
GOF and Bacall Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I used to know of a cache you could see from the car. I just checked, though, and the street view picture is new enough that the bench is gone. No bench in the picture=no cache in the picture. Sorry. Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) You're looking at one of mine in this shot, although you can't see it. Try looking about 20-25 feet up that pole (the one with the lights). http://maps.google.com/maps?q=N+44%C2%B0+5...285.54,,0,-0.25 Edited September 27, 2010 by knowschad Quote Link to comment
+Team Peredox Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Here's one that I had found in California last year. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source...,277.08,,1,6.27. It's the green trunk by the side of the house. The owner lived there and had this nice large trunk chained up outside. Unfortunately in January of this year, someone stole the whole darn cache right from his house. It has since been archived. When I zoom in on the picture, it looks like there's a watermark that says 2009, so I think the picture was taken last year. I've been careful not to name the cache here so that someone can't log a false find on it. Plus, it's been archived so it's unsearchable on the website. Quote Link to comment

OK, you're right... since its been archived, it would take some work to figure it out. Quote Link to comment
+kleetus Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 This is a cache of mine called Pete's Fine Camo. GCVJ9Z. It looks like the wood post but it's a box with a full size cache on a dreaded guard rail http://img.geocaching.com/cache/8c812ba3-0...75337a07eef.jpg Quote Link to comment

You should put picture that in the CCC thread as well. Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Although you probably can't seen the cache using Google Street View (it's not close enough to a road) I just solved a puzzle this morning that used Google maps, and a set of coordinates to point to digits that are clearly visible with a satellite view without zooming into a street view.

I'm curious if you are referring to my Seattle Street View cache or if there is another that uses Street View in a similar way? cheers - fish Quote Link to comment

The numbers are clearly visible using the "basic" satellite view (the numbers are quite large). When entering coordinates into google maps it places a pointer right at the edge of the number required. Since it's a new puzzle I didn't want to describe what you're looking for and give away the solution (although anyone with basic research skills should be able to figure it out). You can send me email through my profile if you want to know what cache I'm talking about and how it works. Quote Link to comment

A silver bison tube. I don't think you will be able to see it. But its there. Quote Link to comment
+scaramedic Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I wish I could remember which one it was, but one of the cache I looked at with Google maps had a trail right up to the little red marker that shows where the cache is. Quote Link to comment

+Flintstone5611 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 GC10EVA This one can be seen in street view, but I don't wanna mess with the COs gag. Quote Link to comment
