You can use this script to add, delete, edit, show, group, and summarize comments that you store for your geocaches on geocaching.com. It could be any text with hints for finals, information for stages, or whatever you need to remember regarding this item. You can also enter the final coordinates and add the final marker to the map.

FAQ

I activate the mystery mover on the map, but nothing happens. What's wrong?

You may use the Google Map that is exclusive for Premium Members only. I don't support that since I have no Premium Membership. You have to switch to the standard (leaflet) map and activate Google Maps there (using Geocaching Google Maps Enhancement or Geocaching little helper).

What do I do with the strange files that I download by clicking on the export to CSV, GPX, etc.?

Just rename them according to the format you downloaded. Javascript can't be used to give those files a name, so Firefox uses a generated temporary name.

Why did you implement so much in the sendToGPS feature, only few have such a device!

May be right, but you can use that with any USB memory stick and the Garmin Plugin. The memory stick will be recognized as a suitable device.

How do I import some backup of my comments?

Export your comments to GCC and store the file somewhere. To import, copy & paste the content of this file into the text area that is shown if you click on "Import GCC". Review the code (puh, XML) and press "Execute Import" to import and "Finish Import" to clean up.

Requirements

Besides the regular requirements (Firefox and Greasemonkey), GCComment requires that it runs quite late, i.e., after GC-Tour, GC Tidy, GC little helper and perhaps some others. So if you have any trouble with a GCComment-feature, try to put it after those scripts.

How-to set up the server synchronization

GCComment offers synchronization via Dropbox. Simply click one of the Dropbox buttons and you will need to authorize GCComment to use your Dropbox.

Today is GCComment's 2nd anniversary.
