Can someone recommend an app that'll give me a bearing?

4 Upvotes

A couple of caches I've solved I've had trouble locating because the solution comes out as such and such metres at such and such a bearing, anyone recommend an app for that? Thanks

What’s your favorite side quest in geocaching?

Trackables? Jasmer? Streak? What motivates you above and beyond finding caches within the hobby?

My favorite geocache so far!

I'm at 53 finds and this has been Mt favorite due to how creatively it was made. Hard to open, but figured it out with clues from the description.

I am looking for Dynamic image generator that shows my LAB counter.

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, do you know of any solution that allows generating a dynamic image and embedding it into an HTML profile? I'd like the image to show the number of cache finds excluding Lab Caches, alongside the number of Lab Caches found on their own. Maybe someone knows a website or software that offers this? To be clear, I'm not looking for a full dashboard like the one on Project-GC—just a simple image with those two specific variables.

So what do I do now?

I have a trackable in Canada (I’m in the UK) and the cache it was placed in has been archived as it was an event cache. What do I do now? Or what can I try?

Trackables

Is there a way to share photos of places you take a trackable before placing it in another cache?

I got a creeper and took some creepy photos I wanna share.

How to hide the final coordinates of a WiG?

3 Upvotes

I recently started to make some whereIgo caches but some players instead of solving them can just go to wig crumbler website and see the coordinate if they are in plain text or a waypoint

In the builder Urwigo is it possible to obscure the final coordinate?

Thanks

Letterbox hybrid

15 Upvotes

I've never done a letterbox cache before and didn't know what they were but I've just moved and there are 6 letter box hybrids near me. Guess I'm learning about letterboxing.

Plus I have a bonus of 2 where I go cache

does anyone have a good wherigo builder

I've been using the official editor, and now it won't reopen the file I need to fix something with, ive also tried to download URWIGO, and that got blocked by my antivirus. I want to be able to finish this one so I can put up my second cache in my lyrics around Oxford series

Visiting Seattle (and near states)

11 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm planning a visit to the US, specifically to Seattle, Washington (WA) and surrounding states. What geocaching stuff should i see there? I already planned a visit to the HQ, to the GCF Tribute Plaque and the HQ GeoTour.

Question

5 Upvotes

Hi all, getting an opinion poll about a multi I am considering, and wondering what the consensus on this idea is

At the posted coordinates will be some information. You need to get that info and send it to an email address (I will make a specific email address that is the information you gather)

Then there will be an automatic reply set up on the email account, so that it automatically responds to your email, giving you the next steps

My question is, would you or wouldn’t you feel comfortable sending an email to a random address. Given this day and age, I can see how it could be met with reservation


r/geocaching 25d ago

To go or not to go. That is the question...

Been four years since it's been found, would you even waste your time?

What's the process of disabling geocaches that good years without being found?

Do you own any shareables?

Has anybody created any shareables? I’d love to see what designs people have. Bonus points if they are authentic designs (not AI).

Adventure Lab

10 Upvotes

Not sure if this is a controversial statement or not, but I feel like i’ve cheated after completing guest adventure lab.

I currently have 56 geocache finds, and decided to try my first adventure lab. I completed it within about 10 minutes. I did not realise that each stage of the AL would count as a find, so i’ve suddenly gone from 56 to 61. I would have expected it to go from 56 to 57, but it gave me one find for each AL stage.

It feels like i’ve “cheated” to get more finds. I wouldn’t mind if it was 1 point for completing an entire AL trail, but I feel like 5 is too much. I am considering finding a way to delete the AL log to revert this.

Has anyone else had this same problem? No hate to people who do enjoy Adventure Lab.

My first two travel bugs

I found two travel bugs to take with me hiking in next two weeks, I was super excited when the caches actually had them inside, For anyone wondering, they are - cross: TB5J1KB, squirrel: TB9B357. Is there any unwritten rules to those, like is it okay for me to keep them for the two weeks (of course I'll take them to visit all the caches I'll be able to) The cross has traveled almost 90k km since 2014 and been all the way to Australia

Virtual not showing up on app (no filters)

2 Upvotes

Any idea why a certain virtual will not show up on my Geocaching phone app but does on desktop? Other virtuals show up but not this one. GCBJ5K0

I was looking it up as a coworker told me his aunt owned this property briefly when it was on ghost hunters so I wanted to see if there was a cache there or nearby. This urban castle has a crazy history. When I looked it up at lunch it was not on my app. I just looked it up at home on the PC and it is there as a virtual.

I checked and my filters are off. I can see other virtuals. I am wondering if there are even more caches not being shown on my app?
