mcms860 Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 I have a question. Is there someplace I can d/l waypoints for places OTHER than Geocaching locations??? Such as cities or recreation areas. We recently bought our first GPS unit, and are planning to look for a few caches this weekend. But we were hoping to find waypoints for locations near where we will be, but not listed within the waypoints files. Any suggestions??? Quote Link to comment

mcms860 Posted April 3, 2002 Author Share Posted April 3, 2002 I searched on this site by the zip code, and it gives me the list of caches nearby. Unfortunately the closest cache is 6 miles away, which I had already checked, and it doesn't have waypoints for the area I'm staying in. Any other sites/suggestions? Quote Link to comment

jfitzpat Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 You can search the USGS GNIS database at http://www.lostoutdoors.com Just pick "Map Maker", then enter a partial name in the GNIS search field. You can print out a map and coordinates, or download the waypoints directly to your GPS. Good Luck, -jjf Quote Link to comment
