After registering a new cache you can, through the edit function, add additional points of coordinates (hereinafter referred to waypoints) that can be helpful or even necessary to find the final container. Such a waypoint may also indicate an interesting place in the area not directly connected to the cache.
There are following types of additional waypoints:
Terms of use waypoints:
- Adding a new waypoint for the cache, select the type (according to the above table).
- If the waypoints are the next stages of our cache, they should be numbered eg 1, 2, etc. If the selected waypoint is not considered a stage as the stage number type value 0.
- Then enter waypoint coordinates. These coordinates can be hidden in the list of waypoints in the cache page when you choose the appropriate status of the waypoint.
- Waypoint description (300 characters).
- The final element to determine the status of waypoint:
- Show all information including the waypoint coordinates- we use to designate parking places, places of interest as well (for some caches and quiz multicache) physical and virtual points in the searching box will be able to gather the information necessary to find the final cache.
- Show all information except waypoint coordinates- we use it to indicate how many steps comprises a Multicache or quiz without revealing the location of the stages.
- Hide this waypoint in the waypoint list boxes- choose this to indicate the final location of the cache. We can also use it for their own notes of that cache will be seen only by the cache owner while editing that cache.
If additional waypoints are defined for the cache and have explicit coordinates, and are visible, they will be attached to the end of the cache's GPX and you can load them into GPS's.
