Baitcon Geocaching Map

[skreeky]

In relation to my previous question, I have made a Google Map of caches nearby the new Baitcon site. I do this just as a way to take notes and see the big picture, but I'll share. =)

CACHING MAP

I find clicking "hybrid" to be very informative.

This is NOT an exhaustive list, as I ignored anything over 5 miles away with a difficulty over 3. I included caches farther away if they had a lower difficulty (thus better for group hikes).

If this is wanted as a link to the Baitcon site, feel free to take it. Not all cachers are on LJ!

how you do that? i've made a single "my map" with hand drawn things and bullets, but i suspect you used something a trifle more automated?

as soon as i can convince my dumb-pc to remember it's dvd drive, and i can patch mapsource, i'll get my new gps online... then geocaching.com apparently has a way to mass download caches/info... which i can then load as POI apparently - is that what you did'th?

yar :)

Nah, you'd probably call it "by hand." Geocaching.com has its own little feature now where it supposedly plots caches on a Google map, but it doesn't seem to work very well. Not all the caches show up consistently, and you can't zoom in or out at all to get perspective. You also can't take a copy of it out to your own "My Maps" and add other things, such as the Baitcon site. So I made my own. I'm really bored at work until Monday.

They also don't have a damn thing that will tell you the distance between two points you've marked, let alone directions between them, which seems obvious to me, and a whole lot more helpful than this "Street view" they're spending a fortune on.
