+Tidalflame Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Some people buy a "personal TB" and log it at every cache they visit to track their mileage. I think it would be a neat feature, but it wouldn't be terribly accurate and to be honest there's really not much point to it either. Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 No, they're not very accurate. The value, at least to me, is that by using a personal TB, I have a rough idea how far I've traveled while searching for tupperware. Right now, I'm up to 16,099 miles in 15 months. I'm tired.

+1stimestar Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 How about using a guest map. They are pretty cool. Quote Link to comment
+GeoLobo Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 It would never be accurrate. It would only be a estimate at greatest. When driving to a cache (most caches I visit anyways), you are constantly looking for the correct entry. Sometimes you drive miles out of the way. In order to compute distance travelled from cache to cache, you would need to use the grid coordinates of each cache - which are straight line (point a to point calculations. Therefore the actual milage you travelled from cache a to cache b - or from your home coords to a cache, would not compare to the milage from your GPS or from that calculated from GeoCaching.com - if they were to ever invoke such a concept on their website. You would be best suited to keep track of milage on your own. sholmes Quote Link to comment
The Junkyard Dogs Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Its just novel. Just kind of fun to track the mileage if you were to walk directly from cache to cache. Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 (edited) Many of us usa Microsoft Streets & Trips or MapPoint to create maps which show all of the caches that we have found. From this, it would be relatively simple to create a route to all of the caches, in order, thereby giving you that which you seek. Edited May 23, 2005 by sbell111 Quote Link to comment
+AtoZ Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Every TB has it's own travelling map. Why can't hunter have his own hunting map shows where he has visited? You can with Pocket Queries, just make a PQ that list cache you have FOUND and down load it then you can load it into you mapping software. Seems simple to me. cheers Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Every TB has it's own travelling map. Why can't hunter have his own hunting map shows where he has visited? Check out this map tool. This is what my map looks like so far: Registration at the Keen site is free. Quote Link to comment
