The User Script sometimes refered to as the Web browser extension is a script created by Project-GC that extends the user experience at Geocaching.com by adding data and functions from Project-GC to the site. The script is built on Greasemonkey[1] technology. The script is generally most useful for users with a paid membership since not all functions are available for users without it.

The userscript is open source and anyone is allowed to push updates[2].


Web browsers

The script works with both Chrome and Firefox. It should work well with Safari and most Chromium based-browsers as well, this is not yet confirmed.

Installation

To make the script work Tampermonkey needs to be installed, Firefox users might prefer Greasemonkey.

The script it self can be downloaded from Greasy Fork, once downloaded it is updated automatically.

Features

All functions of the script can be turned on or off individually. The features of the script are:

  • Add to Virtual GPS straight from Geocaching.com.
  • Add challenge checkers to Geocaching.com automatically.
