lyndony Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 on each cache page is use waypoint code. example: use gc5dc. i still cant figure this out. is this something you enter into your gps instead of lat and long and it converts to lat and lon.? Quote Link to comment
+Ranz Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 The GC code is the assigned designation for a cache. It is 'GC' followed by the number assigned to the cache when it was approved. The number is in Hexidecimal to keep the character count within the range of most GPS's. When you use EasyGPS to download the coords, it uses this as the waypoint name. It is the best way to tie the cache to the right cache page on Geocaching.com. When you find a cache and go to post your find, it is much easier to pop the GC code into the seek page to bring up the cache than to page through the listings. I hope this helps.
