Integrate Google Drive™ documents to Geocaching.com to enhance notes
Geocaching.com Google Drive™ Notes Extension
You can create a new document from the Geocache page itself in geocaching.com with a single click! You can use (styled) long text, tables, images, just like in Office. You can make use these on the go, with an internet connection, or even make them available offline with the Google Drive app.
It will automatically create a folder named \"Geocaching\" inside your Google Drive.
