+Warturtle Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 I'm a sucker for maps, I don't know what it is about them, but I seem to get addicted to any hobby that involves them. WheresGeorge, and now this. However, I also like to see other's maps. So post a picture of your local area as seen by the geocaching map! Quote
+Coldgears Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 However, this has been done before by yours truly. Feel free to browse through that. Quote
+Ambient_Skater Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Love your map Coldgears Aww man now I can't resist clicking on "View it anyway" to see what you're talking about. Quote
+Coldgears Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) Love your map Coldgears Aww man now I can't resist clicking on "View it anyway" to see what you're talking about. Haha, very funny. Edited June 26, 2011 by Coldgears Quote
+Ambient_Skater Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Haha, very funny. I'm serious. The ignore feature is useless if it's always too tempting to override it. Someone needs to make a Greasemonkey script... My area: Quote
+Coldgears Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Haha, very funny. Someone needs to make a Greasemonkey script... There already is. At least there was before they updated the forums. I just knew you didn't ignore me. Quote

Steinninn Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 I guess in depends on the zoom level of Google Maps. Here's my area. Quote
Steinninn Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 After posting a pic of my area, I thought why not post one of my country 250 caches in total. Quote
+skraeling Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 While this was done before, the old maps limited how far out you could go before hitting the 500 cache limit... worth doing again with the new maps. Here is east valley area of Phoenix. Quote

+Warturtle Posted June 26, 2011 Author Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) How do you get a pic off the maps? Go to the maps, and then press the button that says "Print Screen" or "PrntScrn" or something to that effect on your keyboard. Then open up MS Paint, or some other art program, right click and press paste, and crop and save it. Then upload the image somehow (I used tinypic.com) and post it here with img tags.

Victoria is close, and home is just south and west of the lower border of the Vic map. Quote
+Ike 13 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) I should know how to do that by now. Most the unfound are water caches and Whereigos Edited June 27, 2011 by IkeHurley13 Quote
+Fjordi Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Oh my god - I am green with envy when I look at some of those maps No I know why it is so hard for me to get towards my 500 finds... I will add a map of my hometown in the evening. Quote
benji55545 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Here's my map. and for fun, a megamap of my old stomping grounds Edited June 27, 2011 by benji55545 Quote
benji55545 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) I thought I was cache deprived here in Columbia. I feel sorry for some of you other folks. Edited June 27, 2011 by benji55545 Quote
MisterEFQ Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Here it is. Most of the caches in my general area are uninspired urban caches, but there are some gems. Quote

7rxc Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) I love to see about the many cache poor people on the thread. I tried to get a fair representation of what we have here. To be fair it's not quite as bad as it looks and is improving slowly. I zoomed out a bit to show a roughly 10mi w x 25mi h zone. One thing that is missing is the my finds (all of them) in this zoom. Also several are two or more caches compressed by the range. To be fair there are a few further north up the valley, some on mountain tops, several that are less than 16km away, IF you can fly. Otherwise you need to drive around about hundreds of km. or use a ATV of some sort or walk. Some you can't do that, the mining companies close out most of the east side to access most of the time. You have to start in Alberta and walk in. Still researching ways to eliminate that. Of course the mines are tame compared to the 'residents' as in Grizzly Bears etc. South is better with a few dozen caches within an hour drive, same East to the Crowsnest Pass. To the Southwest there are even more as you get closer to Cranbrook. Seems there are hundreds there, in fact I'm getting a trip ready soon. Anyway, I thought I'd represent the cachers in the remoter, less cache dense places. I know there are more. This shows 16 by my count including the multiples. 5 in town so far. edit: fixed my goof not enough km in the area. used miles instead. Doug 7rxc Edited June 28, 2011 by 7rxc Quote

Mr.Yuck Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 As you can see, I don't have too much to do locally. Of course I'll bet there's 100 ignored caches hidden in this picture. Quote
+jennkarita Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 A guess a happy medium of caches here...? Had to zoom about halfway out otherwise it looked sad to me lol Quote
+briansnat Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) Looks like a lot of them are mine. Edited June 28, 2011 by briansnat Quote
+MontyFam Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Where we live: Where we work The Mystery caches in the lake are part of a smiley series we took part in recently. Placed a few, found a few, still working on puzzles for a few Can you guess what I like to do on my lunch break? Quote

+AbbieK Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) My area: I'm in awe of the above posts, that is some awesome caching! I'm a relative newbie, as my map shows, although almost all have been done on foot or by public transport. I've got a few more scattered around the place - London, Cheshire, Staffordshire. There are a few smily faces in there, honest! Edited June 28, 2011 by AbbieK Quote
+Fjordi Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Well, now that's the area I live in (Lower Austria) And a bit zoomed away *lol* Quote
