When the number exceeds 500 you will receive a random sampling of the caches in the area. To get all the caches in the area you will need to zoom to a level that shows less than 500 listings. If your map is set up to populate geocaches only on request, you will need to right click on "Geocaching Google Earth Viewer" and select 'Refresh' for each map view that you want to populate.Īdditionally, a maximum of 500 cache listings will be shown on the map at any given time. If you only want the map view to populate with geocaches on request, choose 'On Request' from the drop-down menu under "View-Based Refresh" and click 'OK'. Click on the 'Refresh' tab and change your settings. To change the default settings so that panning or inputting another location does not automatically update the map and therefore count as an additional map view, right click on "Geocaching Google Earth Viewer" and select 'Properties'. Premium Members can receive geocache results for up to 250 different map views per day. A "map view" is considered a single view of the map and does not include pans around the view area. The Geocaching Google Earth Viewer allows you to see up to 500 geocaches within a particular map view.
Do not use the coordinates in Google Earth for finding or placing geocaches. The Geocaching Google Earth feature is a tool for viewing geocaches in a general location. Please Note: The coordinates used in Google Earth are only an approximation and can be up to 100 ft from the actual location. The KML data integrated from includes information such geocache name, type, and difficulty/terrain ratings that is easily browsed in the dynamic Google Earth mapping interface. A KML file is a specially formatted file created for Google Earth that contains data that is viewed only when using the Google Earth desktop application.
Google Earth supports custom files, called KML files, for viewing information.
The basic version of the software is freely available on Google's website. To get started, you will need to download Google Earth.
