Groundspeak has just started publishing the ability to do the same thing through the GC.com site that Andy’s code did from the start. Andy, I hope that you got some royalties out of this.

I’ve been playing with your awesome GC layer for the past week and love the feature - but I’m getting the same error as Sicorius.

I hope it’s not GC blocking your requests again - this is so useful for finding caches along a specific route and for finding caches in very large ZIP codes (i.e. the middle of nowhere!)

As of 9/17 I am getting a parse error with the code on line 3. Any ideas?

I’m having problems getting this to work today. I keep getting a “Parse error: unterminated entity reference at line 3.”

Actually, this script would directly compete with Geocaching.com’s Pocket Queries, which allow you to download geocache searches as GPX files, which can in turn be imported into Google Earth. They are losing $3 a month for every person who uses this script rather than becoming a member and downloading the GPX query results.

SoFlaChris, geocaching.com does benefit. Because people click through to their site to read about the cache before going to look for it. This is advertisment for their site, and they don’t even have to pay for it!

So in other words if geocaching.com cannot capitalize from your efforts, then essentially ist ’screw you’.

Remember when geocaching was free?

Keep up the good work!

Hi,

your skript isn´t working at the moment. I´ve received a parse error.

Look at my site to find out how to show your local data (like images) in google earth dynamicly.

It would be great if this was an actual layer that you could turn on and off in the layers area.

It works for me, but the list is definately partial.

I’m surprised you got a response. I know of a couple of people who didnt.I don’t really see it being any different to a pocket query so I wouldn’t have thought its any different in bandwidth usage….
