How do I link directly to a cache

How do I construct a URL for a link to a cache when I only have the OUnnnn number?

I'm not sure if we currently have a method, but do think it would be great if we did. Whether is was as compact as the coord.info URL's for GC.com or not, it would be useful. Jerry?

Just insert the OUxxxx you wish to link to.

Cool. I played around with modding the primary waypoint, but didn't get it before I had to run off and take care of something else.

Thanks.

You can also use http://coord.ch/OU0266

It works for nearly everything (oc-waypoints, gc-waypoints, travelbugs, geokrets and so on).
