GeoKret ready

GeoKrety (gr. geo = ‘earth’, krety pol. = ‘moles’) is a service similar to TravelBug(TM) or GeoLutins, aiming at tracking objects you leave in geocache containers. People move these registered objects (called GeoKrety) from cache to cache and register each move with our service. The trip of each GeoKret is then presented on a map.

The service is absolutely free (contrary to TravelBug) and easy to use. The GeoKret can be anything, but in most cases it is a small puppet. To create a GeoKret you have to:

  1. Create an account in GeoKrety.org service
  2. Register a GeoKret and note down the GeoKret Tracking Code (eg XF3ACS) generated by the system. This code is secret and only you and people who find this GeoKret should know it.
  3. Print a label with GeoKret's name, Tracking Code, Reference Number (e.g. GK003F) and owner on it. Attach this label to GeoKret (e.g. a puppet)


Then you have to:

  1. Put your GeoKret in a cache and register its new coordinates in our service
  2. Have fun with observing the trip of your GeoKret!

GeoKret types

  • Traditional - a small puppet with a tag
  • A book/CD/DVD/... - when you want to track books, CDs, DVDs dropped to cache containers. Just stick a GeoKret number and a short instructions on the back side of a cover.
  • A Human - when you want to track yourself and write something like GeoBlog

Log types

  • I've dropped GeoKret - when you've put a GeoKret into a new cache
  • I've grabbed GeoKret - I've grabbed GeoKret - when you've grabbed the GeoKret from a cache but are not going to put it to another cache soon
  • I've met GeoKret - when you've met a GeoKret in a cache but haven't grabbed it.
  • Comment - when you want to write a comment :)


Fully supported waypoints

Now we support waypoints from:

  • OP.... -- OpenCaching: Polish database
  • OC.... -- OpenCaching: German database
  • OZ.... -- OpenCaching: Czech database -- updated manually from time to time
  • GA.... -- GeoCaching Australia -- updated daily (lat, lon, cache name, link)
  • TR/VI/MS/EX.... -- GeoCaching Russia -- updated manually (lat, lon, cache name, link)
  • GE.... -- gpsgames.org database -- updated daily (lat, lon, cache name, link)

Partialy supported waypoints From waypoints listed below we can generate a proper link to the cache:

  • GC.... -- GeoCaching.com
  • N..... -- Navicache.com

But maybe in the future we will be able to do more. So enter the waypoint anyway.

Reference Number and Tracking Code

  • Reference Number Reference Number e.g. GK003F. It is a number by which you can refer to a GeoKret. It consists of GK prefix and 4 digits in hexadecimal system. You can use it to search a specific GeoKret or to link to this GeoKret. It is visible to everyone.
  • Tracking Code eg XF3ACS. It is a secret code which is used by finders to post "Found It" (and other) logs for a GeoKret. Tracking Code allows anyone to move the GeoKret from place to place and someone could cause harm if they had that number. So it is recommended not to post it anywhere. Of course this code must be noted on GeoKret tag.
