+LeadMagnet Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I was wondering if anyone knew of any tourism / travel websites that cater to geocachers? I.e. coordinates of tourist attractions, suggested routes for download, etc. I'm prepararing for an upcoming trip to England & France I'm taking in July, and have begun to plug a few waypoints of must-see tourist attractions into my GPSr to create my own personalized tourist route. This got me to thinking that maybe someone has already collected this information and put it online somewhere. Quote Link to comment
+Cushag Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 For the UK go to www.geocacheuk.com. Go to Stats, Caches and then Search. You can either put in a town or co-ord and you will then get all the local caches near to that location. Cannot help with France. Quote Link to comment
spexmaniac Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 The UK geocache website allows you to upload all or some of the caches in various formats -including Garmin Masource format, really useful as it will display them n the mapsource maps on the pc then. France is a bit of a geoghost town, there are are few in tourist areas, mostly planted by english tourist, and not much else, ther4e was a thread about it in the geocacheUK forum (or possible this forum UK section) have a look for it. cheers John Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I know Idaho is kicking it around for a tourist oriented website they are developing. It's not ready to go yet. However if there is interest Terracacher will probably look at exporting the concept to other states. That doesn't help you now but it does let you know that the idea is out there.

+Blaidd-Drwg Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I have several waypoints for England, if you want to email me, and I'll send them to you. Or an alternative is to go to my cachepage and look at the points found in November 03. Most were virtuals. Before I took my trip over, I did a lot of searching and found several that were close to where tour buses stop. Quote Link to comment
