Is there a tool to dip a Geo Coin in all previous finds?

[+Lazy Swimmer]

I would like to 'dip' a new geocoin in all my previous finds, 1244 at present, and wondered if there was a tool to do this?  I want to be able to see all my finds together on one map, not bothered about the miles.

I've googled and searched this forum but cant see any way to do it

 

Thanks

You could certainly do it with GSAK.  If you need the steps and macros and tips to pull it off, ask here:  https://gsak.net/board/

 

Other such software may work, too.

Another vote for GSAK.  The macro you need is perhaps unsurprisingly call DipTB!

I last used it a year ago.  I’m guessing that’s something to do with changes to the Groundspeak API.  I’d ask for help on the GSAK forums.  If you’re on Facebook there’s a ‘GSAK Geocaching Help’ group; worth trying there too.  Good luck!

Good!

 

Dipping in 1244 caches would send out thousands of emails to people watching those caches.  Emails that benefit nobody, who cares about a TB dip?

I'd tend to agree with Viajero Perdido on this one. While making new logs for each cache would be the easiest way of doing things, it's also the most disruptive. While it would be more work, the ideal way to do this is to edit each previous log and log the visit using the existing log. Yep, you can do that. It's more tedious, but it wouldn't re-email every cache owner and anyone else watching each cache.

Actually, no.  The macro simply adds a log to the trackable, not the cache.

I too have to ask why? What's the benefit to you?

It’s nice to be able to see your Geocaching travels mapped out.  I have a few trackables that I use in this way, for example this one is dipped into the Earthcaches I visit:

That's something I would like to be able to do but after almost 7 years I fear it's a little too late to start

Ah thanks for the clarification. I do the same thing https://coord.info/TB6R3X9 Though I started from the date I acquired the TB. 

 

 

As you can see it get congested pretty fast. Can't really decree much except a few of the road trips over the years. But it's fun to look back and remember things.

The ‘View in Google Earth’ option is good - the website map is a little too small.
