What does your geocaching map look like?

[+scottmcblane]

As I get more and more finds I love seeing the smileys start to eliminate the cache symbols. But what I want to see more it other peoples maps - what do they look like? Take a screen shot and put it up (especially if you live a bit north of Sydney I'll upload mine (when I figure out how) I'd love help with that haha

 

Thanks!!

[+niraD]

How's this?

[+KRON family]

Yea, "bit" north .

As far as help, do you use windows? And what version?

[+St.Matthew]

You guys are so lucky. In my area, at that zoom level, there are only about 1/3 the amount of geocaches.

 

Thankfully many of them are quality.

[+lefr]

A bit north of Sydney...

 

[+outdoorsaddix]

I am in Toronto and have about 260 finds so far (not all within this map, but this is my home area)

 

[+wimseyguy]

This is part of my home turf near Raleigh NC. Look at all of those unfound ?'s to work on.

 

[+Straight-Cache-Homey]

What are the stars on some of your maps?

[+wimseyguy]

The caches we own. It's just like grade school-hide a cache and get a gold star!

I figured that was the case about ten seconds after I posted it. Thanks.

[+spotter/g]

Here is my area today, just east of Akron, Ohio. Gotta lot of work to do!

 

here is my image from 2010 when the same question came up, note the different map look.

Windows-use the print screen button. Right side of the keyboard, near the top. It may be labeled print screen, print source, or like mine PrtSc or some other variation. It's on the right side of the

keyboard. You must then open up paint or photoshop or something like that and paste it(Ctrl+V or go to the top menu, select edit then click paste) In order to post a photo on the forums it must be on the internet, so you can upload the picture to facebook, tumblr, or even a page here. right click the picture and select view image. Copy the url in the address bar. select insert image on here(Between the chain and the envelope) and paste the image url in the box.

I used to be a radius slave. Now, I just find what I think will be fun when I have the time (and not buisy with Ingress).

[+T.D.M.22]

Here's my screen caps. Bottom left is the zoomed out view. Top is zoomed in area of the city(The main cluster). Bottom right is zoomed in area of the town(North West trail) There's a thousand caches give or take.

 

[+ByronForestPreserve]

Holy cow, you guys, now I get the complaints about cache saturation.

We're really fortunate in our area. We've got almost 600 finds and there are still a lot of little green box icons within a 15 minute drive of our house.

 

[+Don_J]

Here's my playground. As you can see, we have a lot to work with and a lot to be ignored, or at least not highly prioritized. The second is one screen south. Probably all but 20 smileys on that map are on foot. We have the perfect caching world. One could finds thousands in their street shoes while another could find just as many with his feet never touching pavement.

 

 

[+Astro_D]

 

Most of the city is cleaned out for now.

 

A 1.5 hour drive south and we're in the "Geocaching Capital of the Midwest"......thankfully that hasn't migrated this way.

[+BAIN!]

Looks like someone has been on the Tobacco Trail.

[+mdplayers]

not much around here...

 

[+Kacher82]

This is the area southwest of my place.

Northwest.

Northeast.

Southeast.

Farther west.

Austin, MN (my main shopping town).

Rochester, MN.

As you can see, I range quite a bit in my caching expeditions. I wanted to get it all (at least right around home) in one shot, but if I zoom out further the smilies disappear.

[+TheMasses]

here's Boca Raton, FL (minus the GRIMS which are all on ignore) - huge wildlife refuge about 3 miles west of me ... no caches allowed there ... and of course the Atlantic Ocean about 5 miles east of me

[+Condorito]

Here is my local map, of Townsville, Nth QLD Australia. It is only a few thousand kms north of Sydney

 

My really local area is on the bottom left hand corner of the screen...

We have three PTs(I'm pretty sure) the most notable being the RRPT (Ross River PT). It winds through the city as you can see, following the river.

 

[+The A-Team]

Here's mine, the same area as The_Incredibles:

...plus many more finds to the northwest.

[+Kacher82]

@A-team:

It will be a long time, if ever, before I have the map painted yellow like that .

[+BlackRose67]

We have a few caches around here

 

 

That area is about 46 km x 24 kms. There is more to the north on the Quebec side of the river.

[+The Leprechauns]

Here's a map with downtown Pittsburgh at the lower right, and my home area at the upper left. Note the many unfound caches. More than 50% of my finds are greater than 100 miles away from home.

 

 

For comparison, here is a map of the entire greater Pittsburgh area from 2005, back when I was a radius slave. There's been a lot of change, both in the caches themselves and in the mapping tools!

 

[tttedzeins]

Mine is a little sparser than most already posted

My map

[+supertbone]

[+Jojogirl]

My map looks a bit different from most of the maps here. I live in the Netherlands and we have a lot of multis and mysteries around here.

[+Andromeda321]

Indeed there are lots of multis and mysteries- here's my view in the city of Amsterdam-

 

 

Also let the record state that moving abroad and lots of traveling means something like only 10% of my finds are within 10 miles of my home coords... and over 85% of those finds are over 100 miles away. I think a good part of this just has to deal with the fact that I rely on cycling and public transportation in general, so I'm more likely to hop on the train to a new town or city for the day and then go caching while there.

[+hurleyanne]

Here's mine:

 

[+simpjkee]

This is most of what I consider 'my area'. A few puzzles are on ignore so they don't show up.

 

[+GMartinTX]

My map, in Wichita Falls TX. I've switched my OCD to the FEDY grid is the only reason there is any green...

Edited April 21, 2013 by GMartinTX

[+TheWeatherWarrior]

A throw back map.....late 2002

 

 

Keep in mind, most of the icons within the DC limits are virtual caches (many still exist) on The Mall. One of the ones (toward the middle of the group) is a Project APE cache. Snagged it as only my second find. The red circles were my finds after a few months of caching (I started in March 2002).

Edited April 21, 2013 by TheWeatherWarrior

[+redwoodkestrel]

I have two "home" areas that I geocache in - one that is pretty well saturated, and one that is not. Though in both of these areas I'll often travel to go geocaching - to get out on a hike, usually - so a lot of my finds don't show up on these two maps. Hence half of San Francisco that I pretty much have not cached in at all.

We can only see this if we're on your computer... that "C:" refers to your own C drive, not ours. You'll have to upload the picture to a photo-hosting site, or to your geocaching gallery, and link to it that way.

Yes, you need to upload your photo to a site like flickr, then copy the image location into your forum post.

I use imageshack instead of flickr because I it provides a URL with a ".jpg" file extension and (although I haven't checked recently) the forum software would allow linking to an image if it did not have a valid image file extension (.jpg, .gif, .png...)

Flikr really doesn't like you to know that you need the url with the word "staticflckr" in it to post the photo on the web. I think they highly discourage doing so, and make it difficult to figure out on purpose. That being said, here is mine, hosted on Flikr. Even though I live in suburbia, and ignore parking lot micros, so there are dozens, if not 100+ caches not shown on this map.

 

[+tweetiepy]

This is what my area looks like - I suck at puzzles - do you see what I have to work with??? We've found almost 60 so far but too many puzzles around here

[Alvater]

 

I've only found 52 caches. 4 of them are not on the map since thewy are about 150 km away.

[+FunnyNose]

Here's my map

 

[+JL_HSTRE]

Stuart, FL, USA

 

The two Mystery caches near the middle are Challenge Caches; I'll be qualified for one of them soon.
