Waypoint Font

[+Tharagleb]

I am thinking that it might be nice if the waypoint (GCXXX) were in a larger font so that it stands out on the cache page. Why? Some geocachers (not me of course!) try to program their GPS at the same time they are driving. It would be handy for them (not me) if they could easily see the waypoint. Actually even if your'e not driving the waypoint doesn't stand out very well.

 

Another way to accomplish this would be to prepend or append the waypoint name where the name of the cache is at the top of the page. The waypoint is already in the title bar of the page "(GCPA65) Beer Hall Gal" for example.

 

(Oh, and I know about paperless caching already. So please don't tell me to go paperless because this is not about me. )

Anybody trying to read a web page and entering waypoint coordinates into a GPSr while driving should be banned from caching. And loose their driving license to boot.

I agree, it should stand out more. I always seem to have difficulty picking the waypoint out of the page. (And not while I am driving.)

I agree, having the waypoint code stand out on the page would be beneficial. Even though I've read thousands of cache pages (both online and printed) it sometimes still takes a couple of seconds to find the GCxxxx code.

I have to agree with a larger font (or bolder, anyway) for the waypoint code. However, let's not start putting it in the cache name, please!

 

Having tried it both ways with the PQ, I much prefer a unique name for each cache, rather than GCXYZ. In a 'target rich' environment, I find that I can't remember which cache I just logged when using the GC number. I can, however remember the name. Not to mention that it makes 'Sort by name' pretty much useless...

But wouldn't having the GCxxxx in the name make it easier when you are caching with some doof that is always asking you what was the GC code of that cache we just found?

Good suggestion. I've had trouble locating the waypoint name on the page, too. It should stand out a lot more.

I'll also agree that I'd like the waypoint to be a little bit larger, simply so it's easier to find on the webpage.

I agree, I mean with the bigger font.

 

Now for the quote... why? it is perfectly safe.

That explains the bump on your head

To clarify, I did not mean to put it (waypoint) in the cache name, just print it by the cache name on the cache page.
