+team turfman Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Is there a preferred method for lining up waypoints for a road trip other than doing a search for caches in each city along the route? Is there a site or a method that, say, lists waypoints along an interstate or major highway? Any hints or tips would be appreciated!! Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Short answer, NO. The way I do it is in a mapping program, get the coords for points along your route, say every 5-10 miles, and do a search, only getting the caches close to your route. Downloading .loc files to a program like MS streets also helps. Quote Link to comment

You're welcome I find the most difficult part is generating the Pocket Queries to cover the route. Markwells link has some tips for that. Quote Link to comment
