+Kalkendotters Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 How about an integrated coordinatechecker on every additional waypoint? If the CacheOwner could check a box for every visible additonal waypoint with hidden coordinates, the cacheowner would not have to search for a checker, and enter his coordinates into the checker, and putting back the link on his cachepage. Each partly visible WP (or FINAL wp) would then get a checkbox to enable/disable the checker, and a box to allow the maximum error the coordinate is allowed to have (30 ft, 100 ft, 10m 30m,etc); multiple WP's could have a checker to allow for some strange multi's and unknowns we have here. Benefits: - Easy for the CO to add a coordinatechecker - No errors in entering the coordinates in the checker - Moves automatically when the waypoint is moved - Cacher is not transferred to another site to check the coordinates If GC also remembers who has correctly verified the coordinates for each WP some nice extra's can be done: - on the cachepage show the already verified coordinates instead of questionsmarks - sendtogps sends the correct coordinates - gpx can include verified coordinates making paperless caching easier - maps can display the correct position of the WP or cache - CO can see how many cachers have solved its mysteries - Cacher does not need to redo the puzzle if a WP is moved Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 What if a puzzle cache owner doesn't want to use a coordinate verifier?? I know I don't. Ultimately, if you solve the puzzle - you will find the cache and that verifies you solved the puzzle - doesn't it?? Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Didn't we just discuss this for 57 posts a couple of weeks ago? Link to comment
+Tequila Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I wonder how much better the forums would perform if we eliminated rehashing of topics, caustic comments (perhaps like this one) that are not relevant to the topic and other useless drivel that the same people seem to relish in posting.

Ultimately, if you solve the puzzle - you will find the cache and that verifies you solved the puzzle - doesn't it?? Since there is a checkbox to enable the coordinate checker, you can pass this hurdle by not checking the checkbox... Nobody is forced to use the checker, neither the CO, nor the CF Link to comment
