+===sgb Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 How close can a new cache be to an archived/retired/ex cache? Quote
+pppingme Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Not an issue, archived caches aren't looked at for any distance guidelines. Quote
+palmetto Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 A new cache can have identical coordinates to an archived cache. A Temporarily Disabled cache holds its place! (a common error, loading only active caches, then placing a new cache near a disabled cache because it wasn't in the cacher's gps). Quote
+===sgb Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 Maybe the information that you seek is in (http://support.Groundspeak.com//index.php) The Groundspeak Knowledge Books linked on the bottom of every page of Geocaching.com I didn't know about them. The stuff at the bottom of the page makes me react as I do to adverts - especially with the Choose a language being so in your face - thus I completely ignore it unless I'm looking for "Contact us". Could be useful now I know about it. Quote
+PaneledZero Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) I know this isn't the Earthcache forums but it could help you if you ever decide to place one. I have just released a couple of them and wanted to share that there is no distance requirement when placing one. PaneledZero Edited September 11, 2010 by PaneledZero Quote
7rxc Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 How close can a new cache be to an archived/retired/ex cache? I'll toss in that IF a cache is archived/retired/ex... It should have been removed from the field... not left as litter. The caution would be that there are other listing services, and the owner may be listed on another one still! So the container might still be in place and ACTIVE... well available, since I hear they don't get a lot of action... Doug 7rxc Quote
