Change Driving Directions

[+Carol&Stuart]

Hello, I've just listed my first cache but the driving directions suggest a different route and starting point than I had in mind. Is it possible to change the driving directions or are they just created automatically? Thanks

It's automatic.

Feel free to include something you feel is more appropriate in your description.

I forgot to point out that the 'Driving Directions' are based on the user's home location...that is to say that there can be no driving directions for me (from Tempe, AZ to your cache(s))!

You can add additional waypoints for a trailhead (starting point) or parking. See the Help Center article:

Thanks for the feedback. Ironically the distance to the waypoint from my home location is much closer than the cache yet it still bypasses it. Never mind, I have included the preferred route in the description

|I've never seen a cache with driving directions. I have seen some saying for example; It's easier if you come from the south. I honestly wouldn't bother with it, I'm sure if cachers aren't familiar with the area the could figure it out by looking at the cache map. Also remember that you cant have effetive driving directions because you don't know where everyone will start. I might start in a another city, but someone else might start from a cache 3 block to the north or I could start from my house across the street.

Driving directions are "click-able" on the cache page - I just did that on your new cache

 

Step 22. Take the Douglas, Isle of Man - Heysham, UK ferry (Entering Isle of Man)

It's in the box underneath the coordinates:
