| Caches along a Route | Website Feature Premium members of Geocaching.com have the ability to create routes of caches. These are pocket queries that--rather than center in on one location--follow a traveling route and allow the cacher to seek caches within a specified distance of each side of the road. Routes are normally created using Google Earth to create .kml files which are uploaded to Geocaching.com. |

| Challenge Cache | Geocaching Term/Cache Type A Challenge Cache is a Mystery/Puzzle cache that can only be logged after certain requirements are fulfilled by the seeker. One of the most popular is the DeLorme Challenge which requires the finder to first find at least one cache in every square on a particular state's DeLorme Gazetteer Map. Other challenges include the All County Challenge (at least one cache in each county of a state) and the Well-Rounded Geocacher Challenge. The final coordinates for a challenge cache are normally emailed out by the cache owner once the requirements are fulfilled. Often the requirements are checked through a shared bookmark list created by the seeker. |

| CITO | Geocaching Term/Abbreviation “Cache In Trash Out.” The practice of picking up trash and generally cleaning up an area while geocaching. Also used in “International CITO Day,” a yearly concerted effort by geocachers everywhere to clean up their environments. It’s one of the ways we give back to the areas we get to play in. |
| | |
| CITO Event | Geocaching Term/Geocache Type  An event for the specific purpose of cleaning up a location. CITO (Cache In Trash Out) Events are often organized with the help of local land managers and park departments.
CITO Events are a great way to give back to the communities where we play our game. |
| | |
| CNGT | Logging Term/Slang/Abbreviation "Could Not Get To." You often see this in logs when the cache was found but could not be retrieved and the log couldn't be signed. There may have been muggles around or there might have been hazards or conditions that kept the cache from being retreived (ie. ice or water). |
| | |
| Coords | Slang Short for "coordinates." |
| | |
| Cromes | Abbreviation/Slang Term "Crow miles." It's the point-to-point distance that doesn't take into account the actual route that has to be traveled. Therefore it is "as the crow flies." |
