Mapping a series that spans a few miles, Can it be done?

Posted: Sat May 15, 2010 9:45 pm

I am wondering if there is a way to bring up a map like the one I get when I search caches on gc (google maps) when I am looking for specific caches, like a bookmark list that has over a dozen caches that are placed many miles apart. Can it be done, and how? (please remember I am technologically challenged, so to technical and you will lose me Smile

)

if you use GSAK there is a macro that will put what ever caches you have in your current database on a google earth map

here is a link to the macro

You can create a pocket query with a bookmark list as well.

Create a new bookmark ("My Series").

Then visit the detail page of each cache you want on the map and click "bookmark listing" in the upper right menu (near where the "log your visit" menu option is).

Select the bookmark you just created and clikc ok/add whatever.

Repeat this for each cache you want on your map.

When you're done with that part, click "Your Profile" in the main site menu on the left.

Somehere along the right side of your profile page (Under "Premium Featuers") is "Manage Bookmarks" Click that... yes you have to be a premium member to do this.

Find your bookmark listing for the series ("My Series") in the list and click "Create Pocket Query". Click "Submit Information"

Now you can preview the pocket query and it will show only the bookmarked caches on the map just like on the normal map search page.
