What data is in the GPX file?

GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an XML-based data format used for tracks, waypoints and routes. XML is a text-based file format that can be read using any text editor, such as Notepad++. Since the file is usually several dozen MB in size, it can take some time to open.

Apart from your geocaching username, the date and time of your finds, and your text log entry, no other personal data is stored. This means no first or last names, email addresses or home base coordinates are stored.

Important: The GPX file contains corrected data from "Unknown Cache", but this is not evaluated or used in any other way. The uploaded GPX file can only be read with direct server access, not via the internet.

Instructions and procedure

The statistics can only be created if the GPX version 1.0.1 is stored in the preferences at Groundspeak.

  1. There is a menu item Build pocket queries in your dashboard.
  2. In the "My finds" area you must now use the "Add to queue" button.
  3. After a few minutes as a ZIP package in the "Pocket Queries Ready for Download".
  4. Download the ZIP file from Groundspeak and upload it here.

Upload and analyze

The uploaded ZIP package is unpacked, checked and processed automatically and immediately, unless there are any issues. If an error occurs, please contact me.

Once you have uploaded your data, your password will be displayed here. You can use this password to delete your data.

Depending on the size of your pocket query, processing and analysis may take between a few seconds and two minutes.

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.
Thank you for your patience!
