 +c:geo can generate waypoints from the content of your personal note. It also supports a backup of your user-modified or user-defined waypoints in c:geo to the personal note. As both ways are compatible it can also easily be used as a backup/restore of your waypoints of a cache to/from the geocaching server.

You can upload this note to the geocaching server and thus easily backup your custom waypoint data. Due to the above described waypoint parsing this data can then be restored to your waypoint list in case it gets lost or is deleted from your local device.
  
 To create the textual backup, use the button ''Add/Update waypoints'' under the personal note. A textual section will be created in your personal note starting with ''{c:geo-start}'' and ending with ''{c:geo-end}''. It contains all user-defined waypoint data from the waypoint list in advanced waypoint syntax (which is explained in the next section). To create the textual backup, use the button ''Add/Update waypoints'' under the personal note.
