Hello All
Apologies if this has been asked already, but does anyone know how to view your cache finds in Google Earth (not just all geocaches). I'm sure I was able to do this a few weeks ago but can't find the facility anymore.
Any pointers would be much appreciated!
Thanks

I think that if you click on the link on a cache page to:
Geocaching.com Google Map
you will see all caches nearby according to their type and whether you have found them or own them, etc.
And you can click on the bar there to change it to a satellite photo. _________________ Utterly smitten by a Captain

Found it! You do need to be a premium member (i think). Go to Pocket Queries, My Finds. Create a query with a radius that will encompass all of your cache finds, then submit it. Unzip the resultant file to reveal the .gpx file. Open Google Earth then open the .gpx file from Google Earth. If you see nothing but one cache, look at the timeline on the top right of the screen, it shows when all the caches were placed! Just stretch it to the right and everything should appear.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction FoF.
Happy Caching!
P.S. - Totally unrelated, but UK Geocachers do personalised cache stamps for under £10. I was very impressed! |
