Helpful Bookmarklets

Browser bookmark shortcuts that send highlighted text straight into CacheSleuth tools.

Bookmarklets are a type of bookmark that you save to your browser. Instead of being a direct link to a website, it is a small piece of JavaScript that lets you do something. The bookmarklets below shortcut processes you might do regularly for geocaching. Click here for instructions on how to install a bookmarklet.

CacheSleuth tool bookmarklets

These send whatever you have highlighted straight into a CacheSleuth tool. Highlight some text on any webpage first, then click the bookmarklet. If nothing is highlighted, most of them will ask you to paste the text in.
