Benchmarking and Geocaching both have warnings about private property. The Groundspeak people would just have to put a warning on the page. For the record, I like the idea suggested above about a separate app.

Please, please, write letters and get them to do this.

The National Weather Service (NWS) does this program where weather balloons are launched in places all over the U.S. and around the world at least once a day. They are lifting little collections of weather instruments collectively known as radiosondes. They have GPS tracking built in to them, so the feds know where they crash, but due to lack of manpower cannot pick them all up. This is where I believe Geocachers can come in. I've written to the NWS director about letting the coordinates of the landing be posted on Geocaching.com. I have not received a response as of yet. If you think that finding radiosondes would be a good addition to Geocaching, post on this forum, and then please write a letter to the director asking him to do this. The address is below. National Weather Service 1325 East West Highway Silver Spring, MD 20910 They also have a web contact form (that I think is mostly ignored by them, but worth a try) at www.weather.gov/contact
