Attribute icons

This page provides an overview about all attribute icons used in c:geo. The attribute icons are used by a cache owner to describe the attributes of a cache and are shown on the cache details page.

You can tap on the attribute section in the cache details to view a textual description instead of the icons.

Not all attributes are available for all geocaching services.

Some attributes are grouped into different colors representing different categories of attributes as follows:

Blue Distance / Duration
Green Cache location
Grey Around the cache
Red Equipment
Brown Cache type related
Black Permissions

The following table lists all available attributes and their textual description.

Most of the icons can be negated if they are strike through like this: (e.g. “Available 24/7” would be negated to “Not available 24/7”).
