What Does This Site Do?
MyGeocachingProfile.com analyzes your geocaching finds and creates a personalized
profile that displays your geocaching statistics. You can set your Geocaching.com
profile to display this profile so others will see your statistics when viewing
your account. In addition to calculating basic statistics like find counts, the
site can also show your first to finds and progress on various challenges like the
DeLorme Map challenges. You'll even be rewarded special badges for stellar geocaching
achievements. Check out our
profile for an example of what the site can do.
Instructions
First Off!
First off before you begin, you need to be a Premium member of geocaching.com to
use this service. Only Premium members can download the special "My Finds" pocket
query that is needed to create a profile on this site. Sign up for a Premium membership
at
geocaching.com.
Creating a MyGeocachingProfile.com Account
Before you can upload your finds and start customizing your profile, create a MyGeocachingProfile.com
account. The account is free and will be used to hold your uploaded geocaching finds
and statistics. Use the
Create Account
page to getting started.
Getting Your "My Finds" Pocket Query File From Geocaching.com
Each time you want to update your profile with information about new finds, you
need to go to geocaching.com and download your latest "My Finds" pocket query.
This isn't a pocket query that you create yourself. Our site can't use traditional
pocket queries that you customize/build with geocaching.com or other programs. This query
is a special file that can be downloaded by going to the geocaching.com
Build Pocket
Queries page and clicking the "Add to Queue" button from the "My Finds" section
in the Active Pocket Queries tab. That's it. You don't need to create a query. Just
click that button. About 15 minutes later you'll get an email telling you your query
is ready. You can then go to the Build Pocket Queries page again and click into
the "Pocket Queries Ready For Download" tab. Your My Finds query should be there
ready to be downloaded and will have all your finds.
Uploading Your "My Finds" Pocket Query to MyGeocachingProfile.com
Each time you want to update your profile, you'll need to upload your latest "My
Finds" pocket query file. To upload the file, go to the
Upload My Finds Pocket Query page and follow the steps in the "Upload "My
Finds" Pocket Query" section. First, browse for the pocket query zip file on your
computer. Then, click the Upload button and wait for the screen to refresh. Finally,
wait for your file to be analyzed by the site. A green bar will advance to show
you the progress.
Note: If you've already copied HTML for your profile to the geocaching.com site,
then you're finished. Your profile on geocaching.com will automatically be updated.
Building Your Profile
Once your finds have been uploaded and fully analyzed you can go to the
Build My Profile page to look at each profile section and decide if you
want to include it in your profile. Some sections also have further settings you
can customize. For example, you can indicate your FTFs, change the interval used
for generating your milestone list, indicate DeLorme pages for which you've been
granted special credit and much more. Remember to save any changes using the Save
buttons. Your changes will be reflected in your profile the next time you upload
your "My Finds" pocket query.
Previewing Your Profile and Exporting It To Geocaching.com
The final step is copying your profile information into your geocaching.com profile
so that other geocachers can see it. Go to the
Preiew and Export Profile page and highlight the HTML that encodes your
profile. Copy this text (Ctrl+C). Then, go to
http://www.geocaching.com,
sign in and click on the
My Account link on the left-side of the page. Click
the
Change link in the Profile Details section of the page. Paste the HTML
into the Profile Details field. When finished, click the
Save Changes button.
You're done!
Updating Your Profile
To update your geocaching.com profile in the future, all you have to do is upload
your latest pocket query to My Geocaching Profile.com. If you ever want to add or
remove sections of your profile, you'll need to make these changes on the
Build My Profile page and then re-export the HTML and copy it over to your
geocaching.com profile.
FAQs / Troubleshooting

I get an error that it's an invalid file!

is ready. You can then go to the Build Pocket Queries page again and click into
the "Pocket Queries Ready For Download" tab. Your My Finds query should be there
ready to be downloaded and will have all your finds.

to be notified when your state is finished, let us know and we'll add you to the
contact list for that state.
Information About Profile Sections
Most of the profile sections are self-explanatory, but some are generated based
on the specific rules of challenges. This section outlines these rules.
Traveling (Moving) Caches
Location-based sections like My Caching Radius and maps exclude any moving or traveling
caches that you've found. Moving caches change location with each new finder. The
finder takes the cache with them, rehides it and updates the coordinates on the
cache homepage. These caches don't have a unique type on geocaching.com, but the
cache page usually explains their behavior. Since you might have found a moving
cache in your hometown and now it's half way across the world, these caches shouldn't
be factored into your location-based stats. Please see our
bookmark list of moving caches to find out which are excluded.

My AR DeLorme Progress
The "My AR DeLorme Progress" section is based on the challenge described in the
"GC14TRP - DeLorme" cache. Our calculations take into account the requirements
outlined in this cache description including the rules that:
- All caches must be caches with a container and a logbook. Virtuals, locationless,
webcams, events, etc. will not count.

"GC1AHJN - Arizona DeLorme Challenge" cache. Our calculations take into
account the requirements outlined in this cache description including the rules
that:

(CITO included) and locationless caches.
- The following pages are exempt: Pages 19, 20, 21, 27, 28, and 29. These pages are
wholly Indian Reservation lands where caching is generally not allowed. Update:
Due to some confusion, we're adding the eastern block of page 64 to the exempt list.
You will still need a cache from the west block of page 64.
My CA DeLorme Progress
The "My CA DeLorme Progress" section is based on the challenge described in the
"GC1M0M0 - Golden State DeLorme Challenge" cache. Our calculations take
into account the requirements outlined in this cache description including the rules
that:
- The only caches that count are Regular, Virtual, Webcam, Letterbox, & Earthcaches.
Event/CITO caches, Locationless & Mystery/Puzzle caches do NOT count.
- If a page covers two different areas (such as Pg 69, 99 & 148) you only need to
find ONE cache per page. Exception being Pg 139 which includes Catalina Island –
you MUST find a cache on the mainland AND Catalina Island.
- Pages 79, 136 and 137 are exempt and are therefore awarded automatically.
My CA DeLorme Progress (Northern)
The "My CA DeLorme Progress (Northern)" section is based on the challenge described
in the
"GCHANH - California DeLorme Challenge (Northern)" cache. Our calculations
take into account the requirements outlined in this cache description including
the rules that:
- You must find or place a cache within each PAGE of the California Northern DeLorme
Map (not necessarily each page subsection)
My CA DeLorme Progress (Southern/Central)
The "My CA DeLorme Progress (Southern/Central)" section is based on the challenge
described in the
"GC18M1N - California DeLorme Challenge (Southern & Central)" cache. Our
calculations take into account the requirements outlined in this cache description
including the rules that:

"GCZ8XQ - Georgia DeLorme Challenge" cache. Our calculations take into account
the requirements outlined in this cache description including the rules that:
- Only caches with physical containers and logbooks will count in the Georgia DeLorme
Challenge. The listed coordinates on the cache page will be the coordinates used
in determining the page that the cache counts toward. The final stage of multi-caches,
mystery caches, and letterbox hybrids must also fall on the same page as the listed
coordinates. This guideline is based on the honor system.
- On pages consisting of multiple map blocks a cache must be found for each block,
not just one for the page. A total of 63 cache finds will be required to complete
the Georgia Challenge.
My KY DeLorme Progress
The "My KY DeLorme Progress" section is based on the challenge described in the
"GC177MT - Kentucky DeLorme Challenge" cache. Our calculations take into
account the requirements outlined in this cache description including the rules

January 1, 2008 will be eligible.
- All cache types count as finds for the DeLorme Challenge with the exception of events
(CITO included), locationless caches, temporary event caches and grandfathered "moving

this cache page as determined by the reviewer's note of publication. This date is
10/4/2006.

on each of those pages, it does mater which section it is in.
- All active physical cache types (including Earth caches and Letterbox Hybrid caches)
count as finds or hides for the Massachusetts DeLorme Challenge. Events (CITO included),
Virtuals, Locationless and Traveling caches WILL NOT be allowed. For Multis and
Mysteries, the posted coordinates determine which page the cache counts on for finds
and where the final is located for hides.
My MD/DE DeLorme Progress

"GCR7CH - The
Maryland and Delaware DeLorme Challenge" cache. Our calculations take into

on map pages 54, 62 and 65, a cache in either of the two maps on that page (excluding
caches that fall outside of Maryland and Delaware) will satisfy that page.

"GCTVMK - The
DeLorme Challenge -- Minnesota Style" cache. Our calculations take into
account the requirements outlined in this cache description including the rules

"GCQA2X - The
Missouri Delorme Challenge" cache.
My NC DeLorme Progress
The "My NC DeLorme Progress" section is based on the challenge described in the
"GCTYE6 - The North Carolina DeLorme Challenge" cache. Since edition 8 of
the NC DeLorme map differs from editions 1-7, we calculate your progress on both
maps. Our calculations also take into account the requirements outlined in this
cache description including the rules that:
- For editions 1 - 7, a cache must be found in both map blocks of pages #30, #70,
and #71 to receive credit. We give half credit for each map block which is why your
profile might say you have .5 of a page.

and locationless caches.
My NE DeLorme Progress

"GCR57E - Nebraska
Delorme Challenge" cache. The cache description outlines two versions of
the challenge: a Fresh Start challenge and a Retroactive challenge. We track your
progress on each challenge separately with two maps. Our calculations also take
into account the requirements outlined in this cache description including the rules
that:
- For the Retroactive level you may count every cache you have ever found or placed.
For the Fresh Start level count only caches found or placed after October 31,2005,
the date this cache was published.
- All caches must be caches with a container and a logbook. Virtuals,locationless,
webcams, events, will not count.
- Page 68 has two separate maps for sections of Nebraska at opposite ends of the state:
the Nebraska City/Plattsmouth strip in the east and the far southwest corner of
the state in Dundy and Chase Counties. You must log a cache in the eastern Nebraska
section shown at the left of the page but I decided to allow the western Nebraska
portion, at the right of the page, to be treated as part of page 69.
- Page 56 has three strip maps for adjacent areas along the southern edge of the panhandle.
You may consider these to be one map and log a cache in ANY of the three.
- The insert at the upper right of page 27 is considered a part of page 27.
My NV DeLorme Progress
The "My NV DeLorme Progress" section is based on the challenge described in the
"GCQ51E - Nevada DeLorme Challenge" cache. Our calculations take into account
the requirements outlined in this cache description including the rules that:
- You will be allowed to log Virtual caches as finds. Locationless caches, Event caches
and CITO caches will not be allowed. Multis and Puzzles, yes, but only if the initial
geocaching.com waypoint appears in Nevada (conceivably it could end in another state).
- Due to the layout of the Nevada DeLorme book some quads overlap slightly. If a cache
is in that “shared space” between quads, a cacher my log it in one quad or the other,
not both. Of course a different cacher may choose to do the opposite. This also
includes the small subsection of Quad 50 covering the Lake Tahoe area.

(CITO included), locationless caches and grandfathered "moving caches".
My NY DeLorme Progress
The "My NY DeLorme Progress" section is based on the challenge described in the
"GC102CP - New York's DeLorme Challenge" cache. Our calculations take into
account the requirements outlined in this cache description including the rules
that:
- Page #38 is a freebie since none of the page is in NY state
- A cache must be found in both map blocks of page #34 to receive credit. We give
half credit for each map block which is why your profile might say you have .5 of
a page.
- A cache must be found on or after January 1st, 2006 to be counted towards the challenge.
- A cache must be a physical cache to be counted (i.e., no virtuals, CITO, event caches,
web cams, or earthcaches allowed)

and grandfathered "moving caches" are not eligible.
- Atlas page 41 is all in New York, and Atlas page 69 is all in New Jersey. You do
not need to find caches on these two pages.
- While the various editions and versions of the DeLorme Atlas do not seem to have
changed much in terms of page boundaries, the 2001 Edition will be considered definitive.
My RI DeLorme Progress
The "My RI DeLorme Progress" section is based on the challenge described in the
"GCZK7D - Little Rhody DeLorme Challenge" cache. Our calculations take into
account the requirements outlined in this cache description including the rules

outlined in this cache description including the rules that:
- Only caches with physical containers and logbooks will count in the Tennessee DeLorme

just one for the page.
My VA DeLorme Progress
The "My VA DeLorme Progress" section is based on the challenge described in the
"GCVYD4 - The Virginia DeLorme Challenge" cache. Our calculations take into
account the requirements outlined in this cache description including the rules
that:
- All cache types count as finds or hides for the DeLorme Challenge with the exception

Atlas lies within Oregon, it is not necessary to complete this page for the Challenge.
(Similarly, since Page 106 in the pre-2007 editions of the Atlas lies within British
Columbia, it is not necessary to complete this page for that version of the Challenge.)
Extras
MyGeocachingProfile.com has a few features that don't directly affect your profile
but are very useful as a geocacher.
My Well Rounded Cacher Challenge
There are many "Well-Rounded Cacher" challenges available that require the cacher
to find some combination of different cache types, container types, and difficulty/terrain
rankings. The
Well Rounded
Cacher Challenge feature allows you to specify the exact requirements of
the cache you're working on and then generate an image showing your progress.
Follow the instructions on the page to specify your challenge and then click the
Save Changes button. Then upload your pocket query file and return to the Well Rounded
Cacher Challenge page. At the bottom of the page, you'll see an image displaying
your progress. You can include the image in your profile by copying the provided
HTML to your geocaching.com profile. Or copy and send a link of the image to the
cache owner to show them your progress.

information to identify your account and reply to your information requests. We
do not share this information with outside parties.
We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are
not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.
We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and
to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number
of individuals visited a certain area on our website, but we would not disclose
anything that could be used to identify those individuals.
Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided
to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing
you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
Our Commitment to Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use
of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
How You Can Access Or Correct Your Information
You can access all your personally identifiable information that we collect online
and maintain by visiting the My Account page.

About Us
This site was created and designed by Jan Kleinert and Cameron Kleinert, two Brooklyn,
NY geocachers who jointly cache under the handle of
Brainzane & Yossface. We've been caching since 2006 and love to dig
into our geocaching stats with our family and friends. TFVTS! (Thanks for visiting
the site!)
