+strada87 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 The distance to the home location of a cache is displayed or calculated wrong. In my case I choosed cache GC2MC1J. Diplayed distance is 105.6km from (i think "home" but this is not written). But this cache is only around 10km away from my Home Location (N 49° 57.977 E 008° 16.558). Same for all other caches in my neighbourhood (e.g GC3BCQG -> 103km distance displayed but really 500m from my home). I checked my home coordinates but they are right. Any idea ? regards from germany Strada87 Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 In my case I choosed cache GC2MC1J. Diplayed distance is 105.6km from (i think "home" but this is not written). Where are you seeing this? When I look at a cache, it shows a line like this, just to the right of the coordinates: N 24.1 km from your home location If all caches are showing the wrong distance, then there is something wrong with your home coordinates. Look more closely, and you'll probably find one of the digits was mis-typed. Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I spoofed your login and I see the two caches you cite as ~8 km and ~0.5 km from you, respectively. Quote Link to comment

+fly_high100 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hello I have a problem that I think fits this heading. When I look at a cache and get the distance from home on the page it doesn't match the distance in my Statistics. I just got Gurgaon the cache webpage shows "N 7503.2 mi from your home location", but in my statistics it is, "GC40TXX - Gurgaon (India) 7498.098 mi". I purposely got this cache to get one in the >7500 statistic and would like to know wich distance is right? Thanks Quote Link to comment
+Mister_Hyde Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) When I view a cache listing, the distance to my home coords does not seem to be displayed at all. Edited June 2, 2013 by Mister_Hyde Quote Link to comment

But since you are interested, here is a tool you can download (Windows) to check it yourself: FizzyCalc Or if you contact me with your 'home coordinates' on this site and I will check it for you.
