The files are saved in the GPX manager. However, the tracks or waypoints they contain are
also displayed in the track manager or waypoint manager.

your own points of interest via the Falk Online Community. You can then also compile the
points of interest to create favourite lists or use favourite lists and points of interest from other

allows other people and primarily the geocache owner to follow and track what is happening
around the cache.
