New Feature Request: Location Type

[+TeamSparky]

TeamSparky really enjoys urban caches, but often ends up in a park or in the suburbs due to a skimpy cache description. We suggest adding a location classification option to the cache page, much like the cache size classification (micro cache, normal cache, etc.). Our suggestions would be:

-urban cache (literally, like in a city... with concrete or in a building)

-suburban cache (a park, cemetary, etc.)

-wilderness cache (off or near a trail, in the mountains, etc. - something involving getting out of town).

 

Thanks!

Hmmm, I kinda like that idea. If I were starting my own geocaching website, I'd probably include that.

 

But since this site is already long established... I'd stick to the motto, KISS.

 

I suppose if you really wanted to know the type of location, look at a topo or aerial of the area.

I think its a great idea. I would suggest adding a fourth category, Rural, in-between suburban and wilderness. Yes I realize that these classifications can be determined by downloading the coords to a topo or street map but any feature that can get me away faster from sitting at the PC and out on the trails has my vote.
