Distance between caches.....

[+hariii2]

Hello, trying to put out a series along a trail and I was wondering how many numbers the distance must be from one cache to the next? I know it i 528 feet, and .1 miles, but how many "clicks" is that on my GPS?

 

Thanks,

hari

Please educate me as to what is a "click"?

Military shorthand for kilometers. .1609km is the distance between caches.

Stated in the Guidelines:

1.1. Fundamental Placement Guidelines

6. Physical elements of different geocaches should generally be at least 0.10 miles apart. This separation is 528 ft or 161 m. A physical stage is defined as any stage that contains a physical element placed by the geocache owner, such as a container or a tag with the next set of coordinates. Non-physical caches or stages including reference points, trailhead/parking coordinates and/or a question to answer waypoints are exempt from this guideline. Additionally, within a single multi-cache or mystery/puzzle cache, there is no minimum required distance between physical elements. The graphic below shows a few examples of what is and is not acceptable in terms of geocache saturation. EarthCaches are exempt from this guideline.

Just change the setting on your gps to the setting for this type (i blanked on the name) and you can mark it out w/o any calculations.

Interesting that you would ask this now, seeing as you already own 29 caches, all of them in the U.S.A.

2 years and 29 hides and he's asking that? Hijinks. Shenanigans.

 

Besides... he should be able to count the clicks by ear, right?

I take the question to mean how many degrees or minutes (or fraction thereof) that 0.1 miles corresponds to.

 

If so, it would be about 0.1 minutes.

At what Latitude? Better just stick to feet or meters.

At what Latitude? Better just stick to feet or meters.

...and do they want it in latitude, longitude, or a combination of both? I doubt the trail in question runs exactly N/S or W/E. "Clicks" are not a good way to measure distance.

Please don't do another powertrail on Prince Edward Island right now...

Made my night right there.

In Canada - 161 metres.

A Click: A "klick" is slang for a kilometer, (kilometre) or 1000 meters. It's equivalent to about .6213 miles or approximately 3,280.464 feet..

 

So I don't think that works. Is your meaning different then ours?
