It's a log type - "Update Coordinates". Assuming the new location qualifies. If you need to move it more then a hundred feet or so, your best bet is to archive the old one and simply create a new cache. Quote Link to comment

If it over 500 feet it will take a reviewer to change it. Jim Quote Link to comment

It is only *after* the cache is published are you restricted. Of course saturation guidelines will apply after you make the cache active and submit it. Jm Quote Link to comment

After publication you are limited to about 500 feet. As others mentioned here if the move is over 500 feet your reviewer will need to change it and he will probably tell you to submit a new cache because a move of over 500 ft makes it a substantially different cache.

+Isonzo Karst Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 If the cache is unpublished, you can edit everything about it, coords, description, even type. Go to the cache page, and in the upper right corner navigation box you'll see an "edit listing" link. That takes you back to the cache report form. Be sure to scroll to the bottom and check the "submit changes" and "yes, I have read...." buttons. Quote Link to comment

No necessarily so. I once had a cache move by roughly 2 miles. The cache container was on an object, advertising a location. A new road in to the location was built, and the old one closed. The object doing the advertising was moved, and of course, took the cache along for the ride. And as has been already noted, the Updated Coordinates did require a reviewer to make the change.
