Title: Question: Downloading Geocache Spoiler Images? How?
Post by: Keksbande on August 31, 2026, 16:20:06
Whenever I am geocaching somewhere with limited net coverage I would love to have pre-loaded any spoiler images. Unfortunately the Offlinizer seems not do to do a very good job.

Example: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC9KVJR_08-in-80-caches-um-die-welt-griechenland
This listing has an image named "Spoiler nah Oktober23".
The GC Offlinizer tells me that there is nothing to download.

Has anybody some tricks for me for getting spoiler images?

@ menion, confirm behavior :( , offlinicer didnt work

@ Keksbande, if you have installed GC4L click down right 3-dot button > Add-ons> cache aktualisieren mit GC4L

BTW, have fun on this lovely hike with its beautifully designed cache containers

Ok, back to the addon, I was told to remove a while ago ;)

Thanks for the hint Balloni55, this works indeed fine.

And looking forward to the 80 days, even more now with your feedback  :)

One day later. The addon helped me to download one spoiler image, no chance to use it for offlinizing all spoilers. So no real option anyways.

And I went geocaching today and experienced lots of weird stuff as long as I had installed the addon. Stuff like: I use the live map and am not able to download caches from there. Or I updated one geocache (with native locus functionality) and got data from some completely different cache from a different folder. I deinstalled the addon and everything worked fine again. Therefore: Hands off. This addon is definitely no longer an option.

So maybe you could try to find a solution for making the native offlinizer do its job?
