NGS vs County data

[+nov0798]

I was wondering why some of the NGS datasheets that are on their site, do not show up when searching benchmarks on the www.geocaching.com. For instance, I can find DG4541 on the NGS website, but cannot find it on the geocaching site under benchmarks. Does anyone know why this is?

 

Thanks

That particular benchmark was monumented in 2001. The GC.com database is from 2000/2001 and therefore that benchmark had not been added to the list that GC.com received. That mark is too new for our database and there are no plans at this time to update our database.

Why would GC.com not update their databases?
