+2BCCers Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I have two ideas. One is to be able to make a list of future caches that you want to visit similar to your found caches list. Then after you visit a cache, you can easily go back and find the one you want to log without searching the webpage for it again. My second suggestion is to have the ability to save multiple "home" locations. (The link that says Find Caches near my Home Coordinates.) For me, I sometimes want to find caches near my home, but sometimes near my work. Sorry if others have made these comments before. If so, then count these as my vote to add these features.

+CYBret Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I suggested the multiple "home" locations about a year ago. I work in another state about once a week and find myself searching for any new caches near the office. It would be great if I could have multiple home areas to check. As for the list of future caches, have you thought about just putting them on your watch list so they're handier for you to go back to? It also might help you prepare better for your eventual visit if you can see the logs that are coming in now. Bret "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.

For me, I sometimes want to find caches near my home, but sometimes near my work. If you're able to get GPX files, you can do all of this with Utopia. You can bookmark caches for later reference (and add text notes to them), and set up an unlimited number named reference points ("home" locations). "Don't mess with a geocacher.

+mcdefjef Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Or just create a bookmark/favorite of the cache pages. Put them all in one bookmark/favorite folder. Link to comment
+2BCCers Posted October 14, 2003 Author Share Posted October 14, 2003 To answer my own question, a workaround I do for the multiple locations is to click on a cache I've previously found, (that I know is near work,) and click on Nearby caches. Link to comment
+ClayJar Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 As long as we're mentioning the software that already does this, take a look at Watcher. It's been doing multiple center (i.e. "home") locations for quite some time now (including sorting, distances, and directions), and it has the ability to have a "todo" list (and also the ability to stick notes on caches... so if you start a multi, for example, or if you need to remember something about a cache you did, you can do that in Watcher). Anyway, feel free to try Watcher out and tell me about anything you see that you like or don't like (or even that you don't see). It may be getting near a year old, but it's not really slowing down much yet.
