Updates coming to Profile and Dashboard

If you follow our newsletter and blog, you know we talk a lot about the geocaching community. There’s a reason for that. We’re different than other games. There is no game without the geocaching community.

To build a foundation to better support geocaching friendships on Geocaching.com, we are going to release updates to the Profile and Dashboard (aka: the /my page) early next week. Those changes are going to be released alongside the current Profile and Dashboard pages and you can opt in to give them a try next week.

The update will allow us to add a newsfeed to your Dashboard, that keeps you informed about what your friends are up to.

If you are brave enough to choose this journey — add a flashlight, some adventurous friends, and your survival skills to the packing list.
