The resulting coordinates are the values you need to enter into the "''Submit a new cache''" form. If there is a parking area nearby you could save another waypoint (no avaraging necessary) and add that information to your geocache listing.

	== ~~Der Testlauf~~ ==		== Test you geocache ==
	Wenn du dich für einen [[Multicache\|Multi-]] oder [[Cachearten#Rätselcache („Mystery“)\|Rätstelcache]] entschieden hast, ist es durchaus sinnvoll, nach dem Verstecken und dem Messen der Koordinaten einen so genannten [[Betatest]] machen zu lassen. ~~Und dabei ist es vollkommen egal, ob du deinen ersten Cache versteckst oder bereits 20 Caches versteckt hast~~. ~~Dieser Test soll sicher stellen, dass das, was du dir ausgedacht hast, so auch funktioniert~~. ~~Dass z. B. das Rätsel lösbar ist~~, ~~und dass als Ergebnis auch wirklich die richtige Koordinate herauskommt~~. ~~Ober bei einem Multicache, dass alle Koordinaten an den richtigen Stellen versteckt sind (häufig vorkommender Flüchtigkeitsfehler: Koordinate der zu suchenden Dose ist~~ in ~~DER Dose drin) und vor allem, dass auch alle Verstecke gefunden werden können.~~		If you are creating a multi geocache or a quiz geocache it could be useful to test it before publishing the geocache listing. Such a "beta test" is not dependent from your experience. It is meant to find errors or misunderstanding others may have. For example, it could happen that your listing has a typo and noone can calculate the coordinates. Or maybe you did put accidently the coordinates of the next stage in the next stage's container. So, just ask around if someone would be so kind and test your geocache. Being asked to be a beta tester is quite honorable for some cachers.

	~~Ganz ohne es zu wollen und auch zu merken, schleichen sich bei komplexeren Geocaches schnell Fehlerchen wie Zahlendreher in den Koordinaten o.ä. ein. Da ist es sehr vorteilhaft, wenn das '''vor''~~' ~~der Veröffentlichung jemandem auffällt und man diese Fehler noch ausmerzen kann, bevor der [[Fachjargon#FTF-Jäger\|FTF-Jäger]] daran scheitert~~. ~~Hierbei ist es auch durchaus von Vorteil~~, ~~wenn den Betatest nicht die besten Freunde machen (weil die wissen, wie man „tickt“ und ihnen ein Fehler dann evtl~~. auch nicht auffällt), sonder evtl. sogar ganz fremde Cacher (aus der [[Fachjargon#Homezone\|Homezone]]). Ein Betatest ist für viele eine große Ehre; daher wird wohl kaum jemand nein sagen, wenn er per Mail gefragt wird, ob er Lust hat, einen ganz neuen Geocache testen.

	~~'''Herzlichen Glückwunsch~~, ~~du hast Deinen ersten Geocache versteckt~~.~~''' Jetzt geht es nach Haus um das~~ [[~~Erstellen einer Cachebeschreibung/ Listing~~\|~~Listing zu schreiben~~]].		After successful hiding a geocache, you need to create an online listing at the Opencaching website.
			By doing so, other cachers get notification emails of your new cache, can find it in the [[How to search for geocaches\|website's search]] and on the [http://www.opencaching.de/map2.php Opencaching map] and start seeking your geocache.

	If you want to hide a geocache with a container you need to find a good hiding place. Hiding a boring container at a boring place is probably not the best idea. Other people had already that idea. ;-) So it is good to know some handy criterias. Ask yourself if you would like to go to the geocache's location.

	If you hide a real container you need to decide its size. Big containers offer space to drop and trade items. Small or tiny containers often contain only a log book but do not attract much attention. In case you already know the new location of your future geocache you need to find an appropriate size that can be hidden at that place. Most geocaches in towns range in size from ''nano'' to ''small''. In the woods such sizes would be hard to find. Out in nature you could place geocaches in size from ''normal'' to ''vary large''. Many cachers like geocaches with box containers containing a nice log book, items to trade and offering space to drop or retrieve trackables.

	Typical containers in size ''micro'' are film canisters and PET bottle preforms (in Germany called "PETlinge"). Film canisters are cheap or free but not 100% waterproof. PET bottle preforms have a bottle cap and are 100 % waterproof but are only available at specialised shops. You could also use plastic containers for pharmaceutical products or cosmetics.
