+fratermus Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I saw many threads about trying to define PQs that contain all locationless caches. That's not what I'm trying to do. I am wondering if there is a mechanism I am overlooking that collects all the posted coords from a particular cache (say the one on lighthouses or something) and makes them available as loc/gpx. I mean, there you have over 700 collected waypoints in the database associated with a particular cache and I don't see a way to download those points. I suppose it could be screen-scraped but judging from other threads/TOS that is not kosher. Suggestions for this newbie? Dope-slaps for overlooking the obvious? Quote Link to comment
+fratermus Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 Sorry to respond to my own post, but I got a couple of backchannel responses that appear to fit the bill (one is the online parser and one is the .xls parser). Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+LSUMonica Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Try this page for a list of locationless caches and some tools to manage them... Locationless caches I like using LocLess2Loc. It is easy and I can create a .loc file to load into MapPoint. Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 The solution for locationless caches will fix this issue. Huzzah! Quote Link to comment

+Hemlock Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 (edited) You can use Boulter's Coordinate Grabber. Then scroll to the bottom of the frame on the left to download a LOC file. Having done that, and mapping them, there are a few such as this one that sure jump out at you (Edit to fix url.) Edited March 29, 2005 by Hemlock Quote Link to comment

+AMH209 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Any idea when the new program for Locationless Caches will be up and running? Quote Link to comment

Well that area was probably near a coast line at some point in the past 50 million years give or take a few thousand. Quote Link to comment

+sTeamTraen Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I gave the owner of this l/l cache a hand a few months back, using the good old Unix hacker's method: extract the log to a text file, and using assorted command line tools and the "vi" editor, reduce it to a structured text file. But I suspect the forthcoming tools on this site will be a tad easier to use Quote Link to comment
