+JBDiver Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 It would be nice to type in a zip code and then request only caches that are North, South, East or West of that central point. It would greatly cut back on the number of caches I download just to get a certain area I want to work on. Link to comment

+Afternoonshift Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) This would be a great option. We live on the coast with Vancouver Island about 20 miles to the south-southwest. When we do a pocket query we get many caches that we have no hope of going after unless we take two ferries and have 6 hours to spare just travelling. GSAK will let us filter out by distance but it would be great to do it at the source PQ. Then we could get 500 caches that are possible to do instead of 500 less all the ones across the Sound we can't get to. Edited June 2, 2009 by Afternoonshift Link to comment

Picked the direction and it would list the caches. I know this is not the answer to your question. Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yess. I've noticed this in Cachemate. I haven't tried it yet. My caching partner lives on the west sde of the Hudson River, in NJ. Find nearest puts most of the caches across ther river in Queens or the Bronx. No thanks. Not going into the city today. Link to comment

Jim That is how I would tackle the issue. Link to comment
