+Marg886 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Can anyone tell me how to put caches along a route into a list so that I can access it on my phone. Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 That depends on how long your route will be and how much caches the bookmark list should hold. Please give examples on from and to locations to get an idea what you're trying to achieve. Hans Quote Link to comment
+Jayeffel Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 If all you want are cache numbers (GC .....) and/or names of the caches you can simply use a word-processing app or spreadsheet to enter the info and print it off. You can out them into an order such as starting point first and finaLcache last. As long as your phone has the app also you are set. Anything more than that I cannot help. Quote Link to comment
+IceColdUK Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Have you checked out User Routes on the website? https://www.geocaching.com/my/userroutes.aspx Help Center: https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=7&pgid=53 Quote Link to comment
+Marg886 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'm wanting to load caches on I-79 which goes from Erie, Pa to Charleston, WV. I want to load them on my Drive 50 gps. The best way to load them is with Garmin Express but I need to have them in a list to do this. Quote Link to comment

What do you really want to do? Phone or Garmin. Decide first. 1. Create and save a GPX file of the route. There are several ways to do that. This is one of it: 2. Open the downloaded GPX file with the GSAK macro "GetCachesOnOSMRoute.gsk". Download the caches to GSAK's database: 3a. Add the downloaded caches to a Bookmark list (there is macro for doing it). 3b. Export the caches to your Drive50 unit. Hans Edited March 5, 2020 by HHL Quote Link to comment
+Marg886 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Many thanks Hans I'll try that. Marg Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I've just dowloaded caches along your route. Given that you may only want Trads and Virtuals with D3/T2 and a corridor of 5 kms each side - the result is 2361 caches along the route: As a BM list only holds 1000 caches we have to either split the result into three branches for three list, or narrow (filter) the result down by making the corridor smaller or reduce the D/T values. You name it. Hans Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 And refined to a corridor of 500 mtrs with 385 caches: Quote Link to comment
+Marg886 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Yay!!!! it worked. Many thanks. Marg 1 Quote Link to comment
