New cache along a route App

[Lostby7]

If you haven’t done so yet check out the new cache along a route App over at GC. It totally kicks arse. It will save me tons of work for plotting out trips. This is what I’ve been looking for from GC for several years now.

No perhaps App was a bad choise of words. It is a new version of “caches along a route” which can be found on your GC home page. I think it is a members only function?

I will have to check out this new GC feature.

I tried a route from my house to West bend and built a PQ on it and it only showed me 93 caches and I told it to max out at 500 and it only went south about 25 miles and did not plot caches anywhere around West Bend. I guess I will have to play some more to see what I did wrong…

A commercial told me there were more than 500 around west bend 😉

And I find it hard to believe that there are no “unfound” caches of mine in the Fondulac & West Bend areas… I must have messed something up.

There are lots of variables to play with like how far from the road you wash to include plus all the normal Pocket Query options. I tried on last night and it was FANTASTIC. The only drawback I found was that you can’t go further than 500 miles….no biggie though.

I was playing around with last night and I had to break the 375 mile road trip in 6 smaller trips. Initially it put 200 and some caches right around the starting point and not along the entire trip. After I broke it up into 6 smaller trips, it was giving me caches along the entire route. I ended up with about 800 + cache along the entire route. Working with this “caching along a route” was much easier then using Google Earth. I liked this much better.
