A list of caches found by another player to convert to a bookmark list or GPX

[+Skyhawker]

I know it is possible to view a list of caches found by another player, but is there a way to convert that list into a bookmark list or GPX file?

You've still got the answer (click here) on November 27, 2024.

I guess I wasn't specific enough. The problem is NOT getting a GPX file into a bookmark list. I know how to do that using GSAK.

 

This is the problem. I get a list of caches for a player by using geocaching.com/play/search and filtering for "Found Status" = All and "Found by" = Username.  Now I have a list.

 

I'm looking for a way to get that list into a GPX file (to import into GSAK and then export into a Bookmark list), OR alternatively, directly into a bookmark list.

 

OR - is there any other way (using geocaching.com or Project - GC or some other way) to generate such a list without entering them one at a time?

I can see no way of doing this using geocaching.com and don't know enough about Project-GC to answer that bit.

 

If I was going to do this I would just use GSAK for the list of caches in the first place with the GetAllLogsforUser macro

The website doesn't allow caches found by a specific player to be added to a list (or mapped), citing privacy and stalker concerns. Curiously, though, you can map their hides and add them to a list, even though a map or list of their hides probably gives a much better indication of where they hang out than their finds.

Thanks. That solution looks like it will work. I'll review that Macro thread.

Just copy that entire webpage that holds the codes (the search site) to the clipboard. Then use the GSAK macro GrabByCode.gsk (click here)

This macro works with every file or website that hold codes.
