=== Caches Hidden === Lists the total number of caches hidden by the cacher in question, with a month-by-month break down of hides, in reverse chronological order. === Swaggies Owned === A list of swaggies owned by the cacher, with links to the swaggie page for each.

=== Swaggies Held === A list of swaggies currently in the posession of the cacher, with links to the swaggie page for each.

=== Planned Caches === A list of caches that the cacher plans to do at some future date.

=== Recommended Caches === Caches which the geocacher feels have some special quality and/or merit over and above other geocaches. Limited to 15 geocaches per cacher/team.

=== Watchlist === Allows the cacher to watch the activity of a list of geocaches, for whatever reason they desire.
