 In order to use c:geo, you need an account of a geocaching platform of your choice. c:geo currently supports [[https://www.geocaching.com|geocaching.com]], an international commercial geocaching platform, as well as Opencaching platforms in several countries(e.g. [[https://www.opencaching.us|Opencaching USA]], [[https://www.opencache.uk|Opencaching UK]], and many more). Select a platform you would like to use, and upfront create an user account on their web page (Basic accounts are normally free of charge).\\ \\
 Without an account for a geocaching platform c:geo will not work!
