+Roelwin Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I accidentally stumbled across a shared list by someone else on the GS website. It was usefull to see a list of multis with a certain characteristic. But I can't seem to find how I got to those shared lists on the website. If someone knows what I'm talking about, could you please explain where to find those lists? Quote Link to comment
+TriciaG Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I don't know that there's a master list of shared bookmark lists. How I usually find them is go to a cache page; the shared lists (if there are any) with that cache in it will be listed on the right side of the page. Generally if I'm trying to find a shared list, I'll go to one of the caches that have the characteristic I'm looking for, and I hope I find a shared list on the cache page. Quote Link to comment

Thanks, that was indeed the way how I found it. It would be great if GS optimized this feature regarding the abilitie to search or browse through them. Quote Link to comment
+palmetto Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 A bit of nomenclature: on Geocaching.com a bookmark list that shows up on a cache page is shared and PUBLIC. So the list you saw on the cache page was a PUBLIC list. It shows on the cache page, and it appears on the profile of the list owner, under their lists tab. A bookmark list can be shared, but not PUBLIC. To see it, you need the specific URL of the list. It does not show up on the list owner's profile. This is a handy way to create lists that you only wish to share with friends, say a group of caches to find together. And no, there's no way to search for public bookmarks. Quote Link to comment
+henning.jakobsen Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 And no, there's no way to search for public bookmarks. There should be a function to search for public bookmark lists. Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 And no, there's no way to search for public bookmarks. There should be a function to search for public bookmark lists. While its not a site function, there is an easy way to find public bookmark lists: if you have good search terms, you can do a site specific search on Google and it will return bookmark lists. For example, if I wanted to, say, find a public bookmark list that had caches near airports, I could go to Google and type in "airport bookmark site:geocaching.com" and it would give me these results. Like any search, the relevance decreases over time, but the first few results clearly are lists made up of caches near or in airports. Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) I use a similar url which gives less false positives: keyword site:geocaching.com/bookmarks/view There is also a small GSAK macro snippet to do that: Search Bookmark List Frohes Jagen Hans Edit: typo Edited February 2, 2017 by HHL Quote Link to comment
+Team_Langston Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Once you find these shared bookmarks is there a way to copy it to your lists without having to create your own bookmark and go to each cache individually to add them to your newly created bookmark?? 1 Quote Link to comment

It would be very useful if you could select the ones you want and copy them to a list of your own ... something like the checkboxes for delting them, but with the option to copy them to your own list. Although, making a pocket query from a bookmark list then add the ones you want to a new list of your own does work. Edited January 3, 2018 by Auld Pharrrt Addendum Quote Link to comment

Combine this core url: https://www.geocaching.com/play/search?ot=4&bm= With the BM Code: BM3Q2VX and this items: &sort=GeocacheName&asc=True to this url: https://www.geocaching.com/play/search?ot=4&bm=BM3Q2VX&sort=GeocacheName&asc=True Now sort, filter, map and select caches to your needs. You may now also copy select caches to another Bookmark list. There is also a GSAK macro for more convenience building this new view: SortMapFilterBMList.gsk Hans Quote Link to comment
