+sddarkman619 Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 how can I search for new cahces int he area with out having to widen my search miles? or search specifically for only new cahces? thanks. Quote
SBPhishy Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 Hmm... i think th only way is to become a premium member, and to select only new caches (you can select the time period and everything. its very thorough) for the pocket queries. Dont quote me on this though. Quote
+Touchstone Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 I think you're right SBPhishy. The only way to get that kind of search is with Pocket Queries, and the only way to do PQ's is by ponying up the $3.00/month for Premium Membership. However, another advantage to PM is downloading the GPX files and using a program like Plucker and Spinner to download the cache descriptions to a PDA. Voila! Paperless caching. Quote
+OurWoods Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 If you search by state all the new caches list first. If you are just trying to get some FTF's you could bookmark your home area over at Buxley's Geocaching Waypoint they list all the established caches in red, and all the new caches are blue dots. Click on them and it will take you to the cache page. They also list caches from Nav1cache, and in some areas those are lsited way before GC.com lists new caches. Quote
+Markwell Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 You can also go to the advanced search and hit the California search (I presume that's where you are based on your tag). Or bookmark this page. Admittedly, you have to weed through the entire state (and get past the numerous event caches), but if you're bound and determined to be FTF, you can still do it like that. Somewhere on the forums, someone has recently mentioned a subscription thingy that will e-mail you when there are new caches in the area. I can't remember what it is - nor how it works... Quote

+TeamK-9 Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 Or from your "My Cache Page" you can set it up to send you a weekly cache notification with new caches in your area once a week... Quote
