Cache eigenschappen

Basis informatie

Cache naam

Elke cache heeft zijn eigen naam. Het kan voorkomen dat caches dezelfde naam hebben, dit zou het beste vermeden kunnen worden. Ook het gebruik van niet specifieke namen zoals "A81 # 589", zou vermeden kunnen worden. Een cachenaam kan tot 60 karakters lang zijn.

• Micro - inclusief "nano", 35 mm filmkoker, bison tubes, etc., deze bevatten meestal alleen een logboekje

Cache soort

Elke cache is onderverdeeld in een cachsoort.

Traditionele cache	Dit is een originele cache in de simpelste vorm met minimaal een behuizing en een logboekje. Normaal is dit een kleine tupperwarebakje, menutiekist of een emmertje voorzien van ruilitems, of een zeer kleine behuizing ("micro cache") die te klein is en daarom alleen een logboekje bevatten. De coördinaten op de cachepagina zijn ook de coördinaten waar de cache verstopt is.	Multi cache	Een multi cache is een cache met 2 of meer tussen punten waarbij op de laatste locatie de cache te vinden is. Er zijn verschillende variaties mogelijk om info te krijgen om het volgende tussen punt te vinden, zoals ter plekke een berekening te maken of er kan gebruik gemaakt worden van een [QR code]. De op de cachepagina vermelde coördinaten zijn meestal die van een parkeerplaats vlakbij.
Quiz (Puzzel) cache	The catch-all of cache types, this form of cache can involve complicated puzzles you will first need to solve to determine the coordinates. The only commonality of this cache type is that the coordinates listed are not of the actual cache location but a related reference point, such as a nearby parking location.	Reizende cache	A moving cache changes its location after each find. Everyone who found it, moves it to a new location and publishes the new coordinates in its log in the service. Log a note of your intent to hunt for it so others know you going after it. If you find it and take it, please log your find quickly. If possible leave an indicator like an "X" on the ground in its place to signal to a following geocacher that it's gone. When you rehide it, please conceal it well and make sure your coordinates are accurate. When you post that you have rehidden it, please include the new coordinates and new difficulty/terrain rating. When you report the new location, please make a new entry (Post a Note) so owner cache receive an email message to alert of the new position.
Virtueel	A virtual cache is a cache that exists in a form of a location only. The reward for these caches is the location itself and sharing information about your visit. In order to log a find, you need to convince the cache owner you've been at the spot indicated. This is often achieved by locating a password found at the site or by submitting a photo with your log.	Webcam	These are caches that use existing web cameras. The idea is to get yourself in front of the camera to log your visit. The challenging part, however, it that you need to call a friend to look up the web site that displays the camera shot. You will need to have them to save the picture to log the cache. If you are a tech-head you could use your wireless modem and save the image yourself on your laptop.
Evenement	Occasionally, local geocachers and geocaching organizations designate a time and location to meet and discuss geocaching. After the event the caches of this type are archived. The coordinates indicate the location of the event. Event listings should allow a minimum of 7 days advance notice.	MP3 (Podcast) cache	A PodCast cache is a geeky / techy fun “game” of treasure hiding and finding. Small containers are hidden for you to find. Audio clues are recorded on an MP3 file that you can listen to with an MP3 player. Listen to the clues, follow the directions and find the “treasure chest”. When you find it, sign the enclosed log book to document your success!!!
Eigen cache	Alle andere caches die niet in een van de hier beschreven categorieën passen.	Eigen cache	This is a playing card type paperless cache. Each game piece has a serial number on it and this is also the password needed to log the find. See www.BITcaching.com
Gastenboek	Nog niet beschikbaar The Guest Book cache is a cache that shows the location of an existing guest book (or you can create a new one). The guest book should be open to the public so visitors can sign it. To log the cache, the guest book should be signed then record it here! See the Wiki article.	Dead Drop (USB)	Nog niet beschikbaar The Dead Drop cache is a cache that is contained on a USB thumb drive. The USB drive is usually embedded into a wall to prevent theft. To log the cache, the user accesses the drive via a laptop and adds his/her name to the log text file contained on the USB drive. Your find is then recorded on this site. See the Wiki article.

Coördinaten

De coördinaten geven de positie van de cache aan (via de GPS). Als de coördinaten niet de positie van de cache aangeven, dan dient de nodige informatie in de cachebeschrijving opgenomen te worden om de cache te kunnen vinden.

Moeilijkheidsgraden

The level of difficulty of the task (mental challenge) and of the terrain (physical challenge), rated 1 (easiest) to 5 (hardest). When applied to a Quiz Cache the mental challenge applies to puzzle difficulty as well as cache camouflage. Half bars (i.e. 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, etc.) are available for fine tuning the difficulty. An aid for determining the level of difficulty when listing a new cache can be found [here].
