Finds don't show up on geocaching.com

Recommended Posts

I use a Garmin Oregon 600 handheld GPS-device to find caches. When I find them I choose 'found'. A smiley then shows up for that cache (on the GPS-device). However, the 'found' caches do not show on the geocaching.com website. They still show as caches I have not found yet. I am logged in with my account and am a premium member. I would like to look at the map on geocaching.com and see all the caches I have found so far. Can anyone help?

Could it be you have not uploaded these to geocaching.com?

After you mark them as found you have to upload them to geocaching.com and write a log for your founds for them to show up.

 

For more information on how to upload drafts:

thank you Simon. I managed to upload a file called 'geocache_visits.txt' in the way described in the link you shared. However, I still see no changes

After uploading them to the drafts you have to write your log and post them.

On the site go to "Play - Drafts".

There you should find al your drafts, these still need to be posted.

Click them one by one, write some text for the owner/other geocachers about your experience and then hit post.

Once your drafts list is empy you should see all af them on the map.
