Thanks for all the replies. I suppose that where the technology is right now for many, absolute accountability for exact cords isn't a reality. I'm sure that will change.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I searched and scanned through past threads and couldn't find it. If it has been, a response with a link to the thread would be appreciated. How responsible is a CO to provide super accurate coords? Is posting coords that are slightly off on purpose an acceptable way to add difficulty to a hide? Is doing this negligently an acceptable way to add difficulty? With Google maps it is often possible to provide dead-on coords, especially with urban caches. Sometimes being just a few feet off increases the difficulty level of a hide significantly. It seems to be acceptable for people who find the cache to post suggestions for improved coords in the logs, which makes me think it is not a respected method of increasing difficulty. As a seeker of caches, I am sort of split on it. On one hand, perfect coords may make a hide too easy. On the other hand, it can be taken advantage of as a cheap and easy way of adding difficulty to a hide, and I don't like that. I found a cache recently that had been praised in the logs as being clever and tricky and difficult when in fact if the coords had been more accurate by about 5 yards it would be a piece of cake. What is the opinion on this? Thanks.

I'm not a premium member and I find the easiest way to pull up a hide in the app that you found on your computer (especially if the cache is not near you) is to pull it up by GC code. The splash screen of the app allows you to search by a cache's GC ID which you will find in the upper-right hand corner of each cache listing if viewing from a desktop. Not as simple as just sending it to your phone but not too big a deal either

I love this app. Worth much more than the ten bucks I paid for it. I have a suggestion. When viewing a specific cache, the 'Post a log/field note' link is towards the bottom of the cache link options. This is sort of annoying as it is one of the most-used options for me (and others too I expect). It would be better placed under the Hint link, if not under the Navigate to Cache link. What do you think of this idea? Thanks.
