[Geocache Map]

4leafclover,

This isn't what I am looking for. There used to be a way to see a map of the entire US which you could zoom on to get down to the specific area such as a state, county, etc.

All caches in that area would be shown, and you could click on them for cache detail.

I can't find where that feature is now.

In geocache.com how do I bring up the map showing the location of all geocaches in a particular area?

[Datum Conversions]

My thanks to Artman & Seventhings for your excellent help. The only benchmark I have attempted using my GPS got me within +11 meters in the easterly direction and +27 meters in the northing direction so I guess I have experienced pretty much the same thing you have found in the past.

[Datum Conversions]

A NGS Data Sheet shows "...horizontal coordinates were scaled from a topographical map and have an estimated accuracy of +/- 6 seconds." I use NAD27 datum and UTM grids. How can I determine how many meters are equivalent to 6 seconds?

[Benchmarking Not Catching On?]

Although I have only logged in one benchmark since I just found this site, I have located several prior to discovering the site. When I first got my GPS I didn't know anything about GEOCACHING so I used it to find benchmarks instead. One of the beauties of benchmarks is that there are dozens & dozens within a ten or twenty mile radius of home whereas there are probably fewer than a dozen caches within the same radius. Of course one of the shortcomings is that often the benchmarks have been removed or destroyed due to new construction, demolition, etc. Now that I know of this site I plan to continue finding benchmarks, but now I'll log them and add photos.

[Usgs Benchmarks]

Why don't you consider adding the JEEP website conversion feature to the Benchmark pages like it is on the cache pages? I use NAD27 & UTM and I find the conversion feature very helpful on the cache pages.
