| Is there a way to download all the geocahing coordinates for a ZIP code from
Geocaching.com into a file like excel or word?
for example, if I enter 48183, can I download the all the coordinates for
that ZIP?

I do it every Friday night. You need to be a premium member and run a
pocket query (PQ), then I use GSAK (free at http://gsak.net/) to
import the query results. Then you can export it to virtually any
format you can imagine.

| Yes, you do not have to be a premium member to do this.
Simply search your zip code & click all the check boxes and download. It
might take several pages of scrolling through if your zip code has a lot
of geocaches.
Then open the .loc files using a program called g7towin which will merge
them together, then save as a .scv file. Then Excel can open the text
file and format the data for a spreadsheet.
just google g7towin to find the url to download that fine program. It's
free.

| Thanks you!
One more question:
I have 58 pages in my zip. Is there a way to download all 58 pages at once?
or to give a radious (i.e. 5 miles) ?
Thanks,
mac

| Yes,
You can do a radius search. Just go to advanced search and enter a
lat/long of the radius you want to search.
