Map of my locations only

[+P@je]

As newbie I wonder if geocaching.com could provide me with a map of my found locations ONLY.

Appartently I can filter a search in the 'hide&seek' - 'find a location' - 'by username'

And the report indeed shows me al my found cachees.

However, if I request to show me them on a map, there is no difference between my found locations and all non-found.

Suggestions anyone please ?

Hi!

 

Welcome!

 

Becoming Premium Member allows to create Pocket Queries with a lot of given conditions... one of them, to show only the caches you already Found.

 

If you want, you can ask for a Premium Member free month, just to try all the benefits, not only PQs.

You can see you found caches in other ways. I'd say the quickest is to go to your profile page

 

http://www.geocaching.com/profile/

 

and click Geocaches Found

 

The specific link for you is http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?ul=pat0363

 

Even for Premium Members, there's no (easy) site mapping of "caches I've found"

 

What a Premium Member can do is download a MyFinds pocket query, and then view it Google Earth or Google Maps, or other mapping software

 

What you can do is download those 4 pages of caches, 20 at time, and then find some way to drop those Loc file coords into some mapping.

There used to be. They took that feature away. I really liked that feature. I miss it.

If you have less than 1,000 finds (as the OP does), you can do it with a Pocket Query (and then view the Pocket Query on the map).

 

Guess there's an advantage to having < 1k finds. Perhaps people will start deleting smileys to use this feature.

Sorry / whoops ...

 

<1k finds, and all finds either 1) within a 500 mile radius 2) within the list of PQ countries or 3) within the list of PQ states / provinces.

Premium Members have the special MyFinds Pocket Query.

ALL finds, all areas (no distance limit!), including Archived caches.

You can do this, by country at least, at project gc.

 

You need to link your account to here (which seems to be harmless as far as I can tell) and then do a Map Compare from the Tools tab.

 

Put your user name in one box and leave the other blank, choose the country and then tick the "one found" box and hit the Filter button.

 

There are all sorts of options to play with - for example the show disabled/archived caches option. You can only do it by country though I'm afraid - but other than that it's simple, doesn't involve pocket queries and is free :-)

Is this new? I've heard of the limited free membership when you register a new Garmin GPS, but hadn't heard you could simply ask for a free month!!

thanks Palmetto to try to find a way around it. But it sounds rather complicated neh ?

If there IS an option 'find a geocache found by username'....why doesn't it work ? Is this a bug in the search program ?

To my opinion it does not do what it's suppose to do - it does not meet my expectations

I find it rather usefull. Moreover, I would say it is a necessity....

Pitty they took it away.

Well in fact they didn't. It just don't work (anymore)

That's not complicated at all and both fast and efficient.

If you run a PQ you need to check some boxes too.

Any volunteer? I'm a volunteer translator, but I don't know how I can do this.

The link will take you to your Belgium map. You might have to click a button or two to authorise access to your GC account. From what I've seen it's quicker and easier than a Pocket query.

Project-gc seems to be the go to online place for all the things people have wanted gs to do. A premium membership their allows a few more tricks including custom filters. You can even look up archived caches.

Project-gc seems to be the go to online place for all the things people have wanted gs to do.

 

And the amazing thing is that the essential part of the coding is done by a single person (he has meanwhile help for

replying to user request).

 

The advantage of project-gc and other third party tools is that the really focus on functionality and not on changing the interface, layout, the colours and whatever regularly. Moreover, these people have chosen an appropriate design and appropriate data structures right from the beginning while some of the big troubles gc.com is experiences are coming from bad decisions when they started off (of course it was not so easy to foresee back when to which size geocaching will grow).

[+hzoi]

I have enjoyed project-gc and find it a useful enough tool that I donated to the site. (My favorite aspect is that it covers archived caches.)

 

I don't find that the one country at a time approach is a substitute for a good my finds pocket query and the google map macro in GSAK, though, since our finds are more widespread. I imagine many European finders would be in the same boat.

[cezanne]

I don't find that the one country at a time approach is a substitute for a good my finds pocket query and the google map macro in GSAK,

 

But you once again use a third party service. One big drawback of GSAK is its restricted availability with respect to operating systems.

 

What gc.com provides directly, seems quite weak to me when to comes to real functionality and not colourful layouts.

This is because many third parties are willing to provide the much-needed functionality. Why should they bother?
