Welcome to the Wisconsin GeoRoute Finder! All these great roads in Wisconsin, but how to easily find what caches are along them? With Geocaching.com's new Route Tool! There's a handy search function, but it can be hit-or-miss. This page serves as a front end to help you find what routes are available in the state!
Please select your starting point and destination below, followed by one of the available routes. Save the resulting KML file to your computer and use that file to generate a list of waypoints along that route via GSAK, or click the link to go to the Geocaching.com route tool and create a Pocket Query containing the caches along that route. Any questions? Please contact me at

If you use GSAK and already have enough caches in your database to cover your route, you might want to forgo the GC.com query and just set up a filter in GSAK. Once you have the route in GSAK, you can also use the other filter criteria to quickly adjust things like cache type, difficulty, etc.
After selecting your route above, right-click on the KML file link and save it to your PC. Open up GSAK, make sure the database you want to use is active, then open the Filter tool and click on the "Arc/Poly" tab.
In the "Filter Type" box, make sure "Arc/Line" is selected. Click the "Load from file" button and open the KML file you saved from above. Enter the distance from the route to select caches in the text box, then click "Go" or select additional filtering criteria from the other tabs. Your database will now be filtered to your route for easy exporting to your GPSr, Streets and Trips, etc.
To create a Pocket Query, create a route above, then click on the link to go to the GC.com Route Tool.
Click on the "Create Pocket Query" link to make a new Pocket Query based on this route. The Pocket Query options are similar to those for creating a regular query, except for an added option:
Select the distance on either side of the route for selecting caches. Save the query and you're good to go! Personally, to ensure complete coverage over the entire route, I also set the number of caches to the 500 max. Unless you've got a huge route, you won't actually get that many caches, but if you leave it at 100 and there's actually 120 caches along your route, you'll miss those extra twenty, and only Signal knows for sure where on the route those twenty are missing from.
