+schuetti23 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hello, I've been solving the A-Reihe (GC4DP8W is one of them)near the Steinhuder Meer (that's 90 mysteries with the wrong coordinates put thus that it forms a figure - now I solved the riddles and got all the correct coordinates -is it somehow possible to show the "real" place of a geocache as they all still appear at the old place and thus it is for me difficult to make out the best way to go as I only got a an Iphone to hunt (apart from the computer) and I always have to check lots of caches to find out which is the best route to take - it would be so easy if I could see the real points on the map or on the I-phone and then decide where to go next? Maybe somebody can help me. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 An often asked question that they say they are working on. Quote Link to comment
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 If you save the individual GPX files for the puzzles you've solved, they'll contain your corrected coordinates. You can then open them up in a various applications, for example, Google Earth. I'm in the UK and use Memory Map with Ordnance Survey maps. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 You don't say what device you use or if you have GSAK. If you have GSAK you can use an qpi call to update them and they will map to the corrected coords as well as the possibility of showing a special marker when exported to a Garmin.

+WarNinjas Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 There is a way. What you need to do is go to the puzzle cache page. Next to the fake coords on the page there will be a pencil icon. Click on it and there will be a option to change it. Put in the real GZ coords and click accept the new coords. These will now be the coords you see when you look at it. If you have already saved the caches on your phone or what ever you will have to refresh them to get them to show the new place. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
+WarNinjas Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Re-reading your question I believe this is what you will want to do and will fix the problem. I try and remember to do it for puzzles I solve and my own mystery caches as it helps for maintenance. Quote Link to comment
