Remove Found caches from search list


acachebox

Recommended Posts

When I search on Geocaching.com for a list of caches close by I would like to exclude those caches I have already found. Can this be done.

 

Also what is the small check box to the left of each cache listing for? That ws what I thought would give the option to remove a cache.

The check box is for downloading them in batches of 20 as LOC files (suitable for direct upload via cable to your GPS).

 

Any search can filter out caches you own or have found by adding "&f=1" to the end of the website address.

 

For example here's the codes for searching around N 41° 30.000 W 088° 30.000 - first with all caches, then with the caches I've found or hidden removed:

 

start with geocaching.com then add:

/seek/nearest.aspx?lat=41.5&lng=-88.5

/seek/nearest.aspx?lat=41.5&lng=-88.5&f=1

 

You also might want to check out Pocket Queries - a feature of Premium Membership (markwell.us/pq.htm is a good "how to")

Go to your Profile page and look for the box on the right side that has "Search Options" as the header. Then you can click on the "search for nearest geocaches" button. Use the one that has (filter out finds). This will give you all the caches closest to you that you haven't found.

Hi

 

I could not follow your illustration but took the info and did this. I removed everything after the Ampersand http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?lat=40.326444& lng=-74.63545999999997&dist=25 in the web address and add "F=1"

 

But just doing an advanced search gives the option to Exclude my finds

 

That worked

 

Thanks another problem solved
