geocaching statistics for premium members

Primary objective of this website

Free and automated geocaching statistics for everyone

My project offers a modern way to follow the geocaching hobby. You can get free, automated statistics to monitor your progress through this simple and reliable tool. I designed it specifically to enhance the overall geocaching experience.

One-click stats without any hassle

Say goodbye to complex setups and manual work. With my easy one-click upload feature, you can achieve instant results. No technical skills or costly subscriptions are required. The platform handles everything for you. This means you can focus on hunting.

Track your geocaching achievements

This project empowers geocachers to recognise their achievements by making it easy to track individual milestones and activity history. Each upload triggers an automated process I developed to ensure personalised statistics are updated in seconds.

Fast, scalable, and ready for mobile

This solution is quick and compatible with all modern devices. Whether you use a desktop computer or a smartphone, you can enjoy a smooth experience. Enjoy clear, professional and engaging geocaching stats free of charge.

It works in just a few simple steps

  1. The data source for these statistics is the My Finds Pocket Query, which includes all geocaches found by the user. Premium members can run this query every three days and receive a zipped GPX file containing detailed information about their finds. This file is ready for use in tools like the statistics platform.
  2. Once the original ZIP file has been uploaded, it is automatically unpacked and validated. If no issues are found, it is seamlessly processed and integrated into the system.
  3. The uploaded file is processed on the geocachers site, and the geocacher's name is promptly displayed. Additionally, a direct link is provided for easy access to detailed personal statistics (see Example).
All submitted geocaching data is analysed statistically. The results can be found on the Statistics page.

Notes

  1. Information on the data included in a GPX file, and what to consider before uploading, can be found on the upload page.
  2. Upon completion of the upload, altitude and state data for each new geocache are retrieved via external APIs. To comply with rate limits, this process runs at second intervals, with the total duration depending on the volume of caches.
