+the Seagnoid Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 I am working on a new puzzle geocache, and I am after the code identifiers that geocaching uses. These can be used to construct a URL directly to a particular item (eg by using https://coord.info/xxxxxxx). Another clue is that these are the codes that tracking IDs may not start with (you will never see a tracking id that starts with GC) For example: GC - GeoCache - a geocache description GL - Geocache log - an individual geocache log TB - Travel Bug - a trackable's description TL - Trackable Log - an individual log of a trackable retrieve, visit, etc. PR - Profile - a player profile (mine is PR5DMHT) BM - BookMark - an individual list GT - GeoTour There are also common travelbug tracking codes, such as OC - Oak Coins - I do not need these. Are there any others? Do drafts have one? Quote
+mustakorppi Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 Benchmarks’ codes start with two letters and can be used in an url, if you want to count those. Quote
+thebruce0 Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) You can also use travelbug tracking codes and they will redirect to the TB's main page. ETA: No sorry, that's my own url hack. Tracking codes don't work on coord.info. Edited January 8, 2020 by thebruce0 Quote

+elyob Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Depending on where you were in the USA, I could share examples of the first two letters in local benchmarks. However, that does not apply to you. Quote
+hzoi Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Benchmark prefixes appear to vary by location. KN in central Utah, HW in central Virginia, NA and LY in upstate New York...I'm sure there's a pattern, but I don't know it. 1 Quote
