+julia51:) Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 saw in a post in the waymark forums that virt/locationless caches were "broken"? i have been so curious and, if i may ask, what were the problems? may help me understand the move to waymarks better. thanks Link to comment
+Langner91 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 (edited) One thing that I have noticed is best described by example. There is this locationless cache for Drive-In Movie Theaters. I have a Drive-In about 5 miles from my house. Last night, I planned on taking my family and, in the process, getting a few pictures to log this locationless. There are 1577 visits logged for that cache right now. Is my drive-in already logged? That's a lot of logs to look through, since they can't be searched on GC.com. So, I had to download 3rd party software to skim through the logs to find the drive-in I was planning on logging. It was logged over a year ago. I can't log it again. That's broken. Only one person gets to share their experience of a drive-in that I was at??? That ain't right. With Waymarks, my local Drive-in could have still been logged, but I have the opportunity to: 1. search for it easily on wm.com. (by coordinates) 2. log another visit 3. keep playing the game. Those things didn't work for locationless on GC.com. Once logged, a particular "waymark" was done and any future happenings for it would never be logged. YMMV.

+The Leprechauns Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Hmmmm, that sounds like a quote from one of my posts. Why a separate thread here? It's easier for me to hold a conversation in one room, rather than having to dash back and forth between two rooms. I think talking about understanding waymarks ought best be discussed in the waymarks forum. I'd be glad to answer more over there in whichever thread it was where I asserted, as a cache reviewer and as a finder of 118 virtuals, that virtuals were "BROKEN." Link to comment
+julia51:) Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 sorry, thought i should ask about virt/locationless here as gc.com is where they originated. will search for your posts in the waymark site. thanks. Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 The "SOV (Save Our Virtuals)" thread in the GC.com forum is another place where there's an ongoing discussion. Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 You should probably close this duplicate topic julia. Link to comment
