+codeandsam Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Hi! I am new to caching and would like to know if there is an easier way to find caches in a certain area. When I enter an area code it gives me too many and they are farther away than the area I am interested in. Is there a map you can zoom in on and then select your area of interest and have all the caches within the selected parameters come up? I am still learning my GPS but I am getting too much information and its getting frustrating. Looking forward to an answer. Thank you. Quote Link to comment
+geckoee Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 (edited) Welcome From the main page select "Hide and Seek a Cache" from the left hand bar. Enter your home location in Latitude and Longitude (second search from type) That should give you the ones nearest your home. If you don't know your lat and log, go out side, turn the GPS on, and find out what it is. On each cache page there are several maps you can use to orient yourself (found below the description and above the logs) I like the "geocaching.com maps" because they show all the caches near the one selected, and the "MapQuest Maps" because I am familiar with that format, and you can pan around, or get driving directions. here are some examples of a cache near my zip of 01851: cache list "State Forest Cache" Geocaching.com map mapquest map Edited March 13, 2004 by geckoee Quote Link to comment
