Geocaching - send to calendar

Roland Vogler shared this idea ago

Completed

In the Geocache-Menu I found the function 'send to calendar'. This create a calendar-entry with the title of the cache and the date.

It would be helpful if the time and the location were also entered.

Thanks

Good day Roland,

thank you for posting an idea here.

May you please specify what you mean by "time"? Because "start time" of GC event should be already send to calendar.

With location it is not so simple. It is not possible to send coordinates, but it is possible to send address as text. Does it worth it? If so, I may use offline address search and in case of success, attach found address to calendar.

Hi,

With Locus start- and end-time is always 9 o'clock.

In c:geo I become starttime, endtime, location as coordinates and a link to the cache in the notice-field. See attachment.

Thanks

Good day Roland,

thanks for extra information.

From where comes date in c:geo > no idea because time when cache was created is really set to 9:00. Anyway I've added to location plain coordinates and it works. Link in description works as well. Thanks for useful tips! Done

Hi Menion,

thanks for your answer and your implementation. I don't know, from where c:geo Comes date.

Today I used the function 'add to Calendar' on the Cache-homepage and had a ical file created. Result:

DTSTART:20170107T080000Z

DTEND:20170107T080000Z

This corresponds to 9.00.

I will ask in the c: geo forum, who knows where the times come from.

c:geo extracts the start and end time from the text in the lsiting.

Good day Roland,

thanks for information. Interesting and little bit dangerous method (is extracted value really correct? ... maybe better then date when cache was "created"). I'm not sure if it worth it to try to do same in Locus Map. Is this feature really useful and often used for event caches?

Hello Menion,

Yes, I need this feature at every event I participate in. Now I have to change every time by hand. Or I need c:geo for the event-cache. ;-)

I manually edit event start/end time every time.. so useful indeed ☺
