You are so right. Geocaching is exactly like that. Groundspeak should at least add a new cache type or aspect to the game.

I’m gonna make a self destructing nano in honor of this man.

This is a great idea. The reviewer would review the map not every placement, and less coding is required.

I can’t find out how to make an earth cache. Does anybody know about what happened to them or how to make one?

Thank you everyone

Explain to me the issues.

No. The coordinates will tell the machine if the placement is appropriate. If this could only be figured out for smart phone then yes.

I’m the type of person who likes to fix issues, but no one seems to have interest. I’m just giving ideas for an issue that could not have been fixed when they were archived, but can be fixed now. The technology can check if it is at an event. Trackables were a success, and there is so much opportunity for a game with this many users. I’m leaving this thread open, but delete it if you want. Your saying I’m being unrealistic but I’m not. You have to adopt new technology and ideas.

I think that the platform could have restrictions, and I think that this could be a good idea and provide good earnings for Groundspeak. As a reviewer I think you appreciate geocaching and it’s users. You are funny though, and you might be on to something. But it’s not too unrealistic for the server to check that the location is appropriate.

I’m sure that could be done. I know that they used to be a thing. Why doesn’t the server check for that once the user submits the coordinates and tells the user that they are good to go, otherwise the app would tell them the problem. If that can’t be done, then at least there could be a pay raise.

Magnetic nano caches could certainly be a trackable cache. There could be a code on them with a log, and you could press a button on the app or put in the coordinates on the website. The map would now show a icon to indicate that the trackable cache has been placed. These trackable caches could only be picked up, discovered, and moved. They would have their own cache page, and the people who move it could maybe even add their own hint. The only problem is inaccurate coordinates. The solution to that is for the app to check that the gps signal is strong enough, and for the app to give the user tips to get better strength. In addition to that, the app could have a 3 minute timer before giving the user the coordinates, and can possibly average coordinates taken at different times. I know it’s not perfect, but I see it working. Make sure to let me know what you think.

What if they brought them back in a new way?

When I first discovered Trackables, I thought that they were a good idea, then I thought what if a geocache could move? What do you think of a trackable geocache that has multiple container types and on the map shows a little bug or a special icon. Let me know your thoughts. I know there are some issues with this, but I am sure they can be worked out.
