+Coldgears Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) About a month ago I had a cache saturation test, where everyone would post how many caches they had within 10 miles from there house. That was a successful thread, almost everyone joined in. As knowschad pointed out, the moral of the test was that people like a good test every once in a while. So here's the sequel. In this test you will post an image of you home area on google maps. This one accomplishes one of two things, one just like the other thread it will allow people to see your saturation, but this time we will have a visual. Secondly, we can see how many caches in your area you have actually found... I'll start. Oh and it's best if you use satellite view... Thanks.

+dfx Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 you should mention the zoom level people should use. Quote Link to comment

+Leaky Spoon Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Here's our view right where we are. We live in a pretty rural area; however, even moving the map a bit to the east or south has too many caches for the 2 mile zoom level. We have a VERY active caching community!! Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) BOOO on you guys!!!I only have 2!!! 12 counting my hides!! I'd say that it sucks to be you, except that you live in Montana.

+Highland Horde Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 So heres close to my place. I couldnt get a different zoom level because I kept getting the error that it "exceeds 500 caches" Quote Link to comment
+skraeling Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Can only zoom out to 1mi before I exceed the 500 cache limit. Quote Link to comment
+slukster Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 The first image is the 500 caches nearest to home. The second pic is one zoom level in. Quote Link to comment
+SooMukwas Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 If I zoom out farther I exceed 500... Quote Link to comment

For example, you could go to an old archived cache you found and upload the image. Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 It's those evil mystery caches to the southeast! Quote Link to comment
+Mental Ellert-ness Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) This is all pretty much 10 miles South of me. There are 16 in the same size map North of which I have found 1 thus far. Edit to add that I have solved most, if not all, of the unfound puzzles on this map.

+kpanko Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) That looks like a police badge. Series? Yes - The Shield Nobody better place a new cache near this! It would mess up the pattern on the map! :-) Edited November 18, 2010 by kpanko Quote Link to comment

+Don_J Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Can't zoom past a mile. Note that the highest density is is to the N/W which is all hiking trails. Quote Link to comment
+The Chaos Crew Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) hmmm, methinks I really must try harder to find a few caches close to home (the thing is, all the good ones are further away, so I tend to go and get those instead...)

+Harry Dolphin Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Now. My caching partner has this problem... Manhattan isn't bad to get to from Joisey. But Queens?!? Expensive tolls, and a long drive. Quote Link to comment

Personally I would not want people uploading random photos to my cache even if it was archived. Quote Link to comment

Mr.Yuck Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) If someone could politely post instructions on how to get that image onto this forum, I'll happily comply Assuming you're a windoze user, pressing print screen whilst holding the control button. Then open up microsoft photo editor, go to the edit menu at the top, and a "paste as new image" option should show up. Personally, I'd then crop out all the b.s. such as the list of caches on the right side of the page, and the menus and ads on the left side. Then up in the file menu you can "save image as". Then you'll have to upload it to an archived cache page (EDIT TO CLARIFY: You own archived cache page, not someone else's) or Flikr or something, and get the url of the image for posting it here. Hopefully not too complicated, but after a few times, you can whip through a "screen shot" as it's called, in no time. Edited November 19, 2010 by Mr.Yuck Quote Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 10 mile radius which includes some of Hydnsek's 2 miles. Instead of Googling it, I used TopoNA9. Quote Link to comment

+hydnsek Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Here is my 10 mile. I didn't know you'd moved to UW village! Seriously, FN has done a great job of cleaning out Seattle caches - and a significant percentage of those are puzzles. Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Here ya go. I live smack in the middle of this mess. Never realized how many caches I owned so close to home. Quote Link to comment
+hallycat Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Can't do a radius cause I am on the ocean. But this is heading north from me Quote Link to comment
+theshows Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Can't figure out how to copy my map and save it (Firefox) If you could see my map, it would show 168 in a 2 mi radius....without and cute arangements (like a shield) However, if you go about 20 miles north, there is a large question mark made out of mystery caches.
