Just published cache and the cords are wrong


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just got a cache published and when I was proofing it for a final time, I noticed it typoed the cords now it won't let me fix them. It gives the error * Coordinate Errors, Help?!!!

 

It is off by a 1/2 mile or more.

The system won't let you correct the coords over a set distance. Just contact your local reviewer and they'll help you out.

Changing coordinates more than 528 feet requires intervention by the reviewer. You should disable it, and very kindly (and perhaps grovelling a bit might not hurt) ask your reviewer's help.

 

One time my mistake was to enter close coords just so I could work on the cache page. Once I was ready to publish I couldn't update them!

Reminds me of the time I was helping my sister in Maine with a cache page. Well, I'm used to typing N40º. She's at N43°. Duh! While we were still working on the page, she got an e-mail from her reviewer mentioning that she might want to check her coords. The ones listed were far out at sea. (Oh. Only a few hundred miles!) But the page hadn't been published, so it was no problem to correct the coords. :rolleyes:

Yep, I clicked "Publish".

 

D'oh! too late.

Thanks for sharing it at least made me realise I am not the only one that can make a mistake. The page is done and up and running, published and waiting on it's FTF, I am excited about this one as it is a challenge and looking forward to what people have to say about it.

 

Thanks again for the help.
