Geocache Maps: How to Find Cache Location Without Moving

What is Geocaching?

Geocaching, in the simplest terms, combines recent technology with an old-fashioned treasure hunt. The aim behind geocaching is to find the small boxes containing a collection of a logbook and random items. You have to use geocache maps to find these containers.

Geocache maps can give you a general overview of the area and help you select a geocache that will be nearby. If you want to find caches that are typically hard to find, you may consider a topographical map. It's often provided by the same site listing all the hidden caches.

• To get started with geocaching, all you need to do is create an account on a geocaching website (geocaching.com) and then use either a GPS (or map) or an app to find the hidden caches.
• Next, you'll need to visit the "Hide & Seek a cache" page, enter the postal code, and start searching.
• You can also enter geocache coordinates into the GPS to find hidden geocaches. Once you've successfully found the cache, return it to the original location by signing the logbook.

What Are The Different Geocache Types on Geocache Maps?

There are millions of geocaches worldwide — and the game has become so popular that there are a number of social media boards and websites with information. If you're planning to start finding hidden caches, it's important to know the different cache types that exist on the geocaching maps:

Traditional Geocache

It's one of the most straightforward and original types of geocaches. It has a green color and can typically be found in a container at the given coordinates. The size of traditional geocache may vary — but all of them have a logbook. A larger container typically contains other items for trackables and trade.

Multi-Cache

Orange in color, these multi-caches involve two or more locations. Its final location is a physical container with a logbook. What makes multi-caches different from other types is their different variations. Once you are at the first stage of cache hunting, you'll then receive a clue to the whereabouts of the second cache and so on.

Earth Cache

As the name suggests, the Earth Cache is a unique geological location people can typically visit to learn about Earth and its features. These pages include a complete set of educational notes with their respective coordinates. The Earth Cache helps you see how scientists gather evidence or how our planet has been shaped by geological processes.

Letterbox Hybrid

These geocache types generally contain a stamp that's meant to remain in the box. Instead of coordinates, letterboxing is a popular form of treasure hunting that uses clues.

Mystery or Puzzle Caches

While there are many styles of mystery caches, the puzzle cache is generally the most classic one. Geocachers have to solve a puzzle given on the cache page to check the actual location of the geocache. There's a catch-all geocache type with complicated puzzles to find the correct coordinates.
