How can I be notified of new caches in my area?

[+kctoons]

Is there a way to get an email or some other notification about new caches in my area? I see people saying when they get a FTF that this new cache popped up but how did they set it up? Not interested in FTF so much myself as having new places to check out for caches.

Thanks. I did that already when I upgraded to the premium membership but never received any notifications. Thought there might be something else I was supposed to do.

Check any spam folders or filters to see if the emails are being prevented from being delivered to your inbox.

I wonder if there is a way to work around the PM requirement. I suspect someone could work up a way. I don't think PM was always required.

Thanks for the information. Nothing in spam & filters...I guess they are okay. They seem to let everything else in no problem! Maybe I set it up wrong- missed a step? I just said to notify me of Traditional caches and publish listing.

Wouldn't be much point in charging for Premium Membership if the benefits of Premium Membership were available to all members.

 

Pretty sure notifications were always a PM benefit.

It might have been, not sure there.

 

I'd just kinda liked the idea of giving for the sake of giving to the game (way I did at the beginning). Not big on restricting players based on payment.

 

But I was mostly referring to an outside source have the ability based on some sort of algorithm of the site. I find it amazing what people can do for free when provided access. Kinda like Twitter and APIs.
