\nFavorite points make it easy to say thank you to cache owners who put in the time and thought to create a special geocache. A tap of the green heart when writing your log in the Geocaching\u00ae app, or on a cache page on the website, lets owners know that their creation brought other cachers joy.<\/p>\n
\nSometimes when deciding what caches you want to find on your next outing, it\u2019s nice to know that you\u2019re picking geocaches that other cachers love. Thanks to Favorite points, that\u2019s easy to do! You can see highly Favorited caches highlighted on the map with a little heart and their Favorite point count or you can use Premium search filters to find caches with a certain minimum Favorite point count.<\/p>\n
\nIf you\u2019re looking for tools to help you stay motivated and work toward your geocaching goals, Favorite points are helpful in this scenario, too! Premium members earn Favorite points based on how many geocaches they find. Every Premium member starts out with 1 Favorite point and earns an additional Favorite point for every 10 caches found. Set goals for how many Favorite points you want to earn this year and keep your eye on your Favorite point count.<\/p>\n
\nFavorite points also let you easily keep track of all your favorite finds. If you visit your Lists on the website, you\u2019ll see a tab labeled \u201cFavorites\u201d where you can see every cache you\u2019ve ever given a Favorite point to. It is a scrapbook of great geocaching outings!<\/p>\nOur favorite Premium features: Favorite points<\/a><\/blockquote>
