CacheStats - Geocaching StatisticsIf you like to keep tabs on your geocaching statistics, you'll love CacheStats. How has your find rate been holding up over the years? What are your longest streaks? How are you doing compared to last year? Want to see what it will take to reach your end-of-year goal? CacheStats analyzes your "My Finds" pocket query to find out all this and more. CacheStats is free, so go ahead and download now! To run Cache Stats you will need: Microsoft .Net Framework version 1.1 or version 2.0, Windows 98 or higher. You may already have the .Net Framework installed. If you try to install CacheStats and it indicates that you do not have the framework, then you may install it via Windows Update or download either of the versions using the links above. >>Click here to download CacheStats now<< To generate the GPX file that CacheStats analyzes: go to your Pocket Queries page on geocaching.com, then click on "Add to queue" in the My Finds section (premium membership required). This will send an email to you with an attachment. Open the "zipped" attachment and save the GPX file directly to your hard drive and then open it using CacheStats. Important: Do not use EasyGPS to open and save the .gpx file because that strips out statistical information from the file. Important #2: Each time you get a new .gpx file, save it using the same name. By doing this, CacheStats can remember all information you enter such as your favorites and FTF's.
