Hiding Cache help

[+Michael_Schaap]

Hey there. I just started to hide caches but ran into a problem. Too close to another cache. So how do you figure out if you are too close? Not sure?

If you're unsure about where other caches may be, use the search function

http://www.geocaching.com/seek/

 

If you put your proposed cache coordinates into the Lat, Long boxes it will bring up a list of the 20 nearest caches. You will see only the public coordinates for those caches! There may be hidden multi-cache stages or puzzle solutions as well. Generally a puzzle solution will be within 2 miles of its "bogus" coordinates, and most multicaches will start and finish in the same park or general area.

Yeah, but I mean your out in the field and place a cache. You come back home to punch it in and get a msg saying it's too close to one. I do have Cacheberry on my Blackberry. Could that help me when I'm out in the field?

If you use GSAK, there is a macro that will take a PQ you provide and export it to a .KML file, you can open that file up with Google Earth and see the "ring" around each cache (528 feet I believe) and you can find a hide location with that.

OR

You can ask your reviewer nicely ..
