c:geo uses dedicated icons for the different types of Geocaches available. The following table provides an overview of the used icons, the corresponding cache type and a basic description of the characteristic features of this cache type.
Icon | Cache Type | Basic description |
---|---|---|
Traditional Cache | This is the oldest type of geocaches. The geocache can be found at the given coordinates. | |
Multi Cache | A multi cache uses at least two locations. The geocache itself is located at the final location, but you need to visit several locations (and possibly solve questions/riddles at each stage to find out the final location). | |
Earth Cache | The location of an earth cache is a location of special geological interest. The aim of these geocaches is to educate the geocachers about the geology of the earth. At the location questions need to be answered to be able to log the geocache. There is no physical geocache at the location. More information can be found at earthcache.org. | |
Mystery Cache | This is the catch-all type of geocache, where the geocache is typically not located at the given coordinates but the real location has to be investigated. This can be as easy as answering some questions on the internet to obtain the coordinates or as hard as solving complicated mathematical problems. | |
Wherigo Cache | Wherigo is a way to make and play GPS-enabled adventures in the real world. Using the Wherigo, the geocacher can use physical as well as virtual elements, objects or persons, to find the geocache. More information at wherigo.com | |
