Editing Geocaching (section)

===Obtaining data===
GPX files containing information such as a cache description and information about recent visitors to the cache are available from various listing sites. Geocachers may upload geocache data (also known as [[waypoint]]s) from various websites in various formats, most commonly in file-type [[GPX (data transfer)|GPX]], which uses [[XML]].<ref>{{cite web |title=GPX: The GPS Exchange Format |url=https://www.topografix.com/gpx.asp |access-date=July 20, 2009 |archive-date=April 20, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140420163755/http://www.topografix.com/gpx.asp |url-status=live}}</ref> Some websites allow geocachers to search (build queries) for multiple caches within a geographic area based on criteria such as [[ZIP code]] or [[geographic coordinate system|coordinates]], downloading the results as an email attachment on a schedule.
