[Pdf Bug -- Add'l Waypoints Not Included.]

There's a pretty significant bug in the PDF generation -- if the cache has additional waypoints defined, they don't appear *AT ALL* in the PDF unless the cache owner also included the co-ords in the descriptive text.

 

Example: GCGG1B.

 

If this can be added, I'd like to suggest it be put near the top of page 1 so if a multi-page printout gets separated, the additional co-ords are kept near the primary co-ords on the first page.

 

Thanks,

I just came here to post the exact same thing. On the PDF for the one I am looking at doing (GCVWKR) the cache has numerous additional waypoints, but the PDF dispays a blank page instead. This is especially annoying when there are so many additional waypoints to consider.

I am STUNNED that you posted this today. My girlfriend and I have spent the weekend geocaching and discussed this very idea. I just came to this section to post the idea, and here it was!

 

After caching for a bit we started to recognize some of the local names and thought it would be neat to read about their adventures and what they were planning. The logs are nice, but hardly tell the whole story of a day of caching, or looking for a place to set up a new one. I would LOVE to have this feature - perhaps if cost is an issue for the site it could be available to premium members. I would even be willing to pay a little more for a premium package to make this function happen.

Now that we have Google Maps, this is a great idea.

[Using Google Earth]

I used Google Earth for my first cache. For some reason in the past couple of months the maps (in Toronto at least) must have gotten messed. I input the coordinates into GE, but they were about 100m off (in a building) of the actual location. We managed to find the cache using clues from the logs and photos on the page (actually still a lot of fun!).

 

YES! I am in Toronto, too, and noticed that Google Earth is off by about 100 meters for all the caches. I was wondering if it was because Google Earth uses a different default format than the one we use or something?

 

Does anyone else notice this, or is it a Toronto thing?

I thought it was a great idea until I saw the age range was 1-27. I'm 30 and thought I was part of the young crowd!

 

Congrats, Bandgeek - I went to Ottawa U as well. I lived in Brooks res for a few years. Ottawa is a great school.
