+The Baggster Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Patience please! Now, I've placed a cache and as I was driving home, pondering submitting it for approval, I suddenly realised I hadn't checked how far it was between my cache and another nearby. I have the co-ordinates of both, obviously. So how can I check? I could drive back and measure it, but I'd rather not! Quote Link to comment

+The Baggster Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Thanks - sssss, yes I'd read that, hence my query. uk89camaro, thanks - that's perfect. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Watch out for Multi's and Puzzle's in the area that you have to solve to find the final coordinates! Quote Link to comment

If you have your new one and all surrounding caches in GSAK, set your new one as the centerpoint and that will do it for all surrounding caches. Apart from puzzles and multis which the reviewer will check when you submit yours. Quote Link to comment
+The Baggster Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 What's GSAK? The cache in question is live, so all was fine. Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Display both locations in Google Earth and use the measure distance tool, always works for me. Simples as they say! Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 What's GSAK? The Geocaching Swis Army Knife It allows you to maintain a database of caches on your PC, and can do all sorts of useful stuff. As you're a Premium member you could set up Pocket Queries and automatically import them into GSAK to load all the caches into your own PC. Quote Link to comment
