My Route is a function developed by Geocaching Australia to show you caches within a defined distance from a route you have chosen.
Creating a kml file to load as your route
- Go to [Google Maps].
- Go to the page of the geocache that contained the swaggie you have collected
- Click on the swaggie
- Click on "Grab this Swaggie"
- If it says that you are not signed in or don't have a cacher name, then follow these instructions to get a cacher name
- Enter the swaggie's password (this should be attached to the swaggie)
- Fill in the details of your find (date, log, etc) and press "Grab"
this will place the swaggie in your inventory (you MUST grab a swaggie and have it in your inventory before you can drop it in to a cache)
Dropping a swaggie (Australian/NZ caches)
- Log in to Geocaching Australia.
- Go to the listing for the cache you have dropped the swaggie in (type that caches waypoint code into the Search box). This applies to caches listed on geocaching.com as well as GCA caches.
- Click on the link on the cache page in the Actions that says 'Drop a swaggie'
- Fill in the details of your drop (date, log, etc) and select the correct swaggie from the 'Swaggie' box and press "Drop"
