I am another one of the 200 that used GE to plan caching outings. I am sad to see it gone and feel that the other methods of finding caches (for instance, in google maps) and planning trips to be much slower and take much more time.
I do alot of hking on the AT and can overlay my tracks on GE and see caches nearby. To the best of my knowledge, this can't be done with google maps. I also don't believe that you can make a landmark (waypoint) in the google maps version to quickly determine distances to caches.
Am I missing something? I saw quite a few posts from people who never used GE and felt that it wasn't a loss that it is not available anymore. I haven't seen (but I have only skimmed) any posts from these users on how they perform the tasks listed above.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jim
