+Captain Morgan Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Benchmark hunting is a hobby that is restricted to USA. Trigpoints have been placed for same purpose all around the world. Should these two things be merged, so every geocachers in this planet can join this hobby ? [This message was edited by Captain_Morgan&Family on October 21, 2002 at 02:41 PM.] Link to comment
+welch Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 sure why not.... im guessing the biggest problem would be (besides finding time for the admins to import and correct the data) where can you get the info? does each country with trig points have a database that can be used what would it cost quote:Originally posted by Captain_Morgan&Family:Benchmark hunting is a hobby that is restricted to USA.

crr003 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 A list for the UK trig points exists and I understand it has already been sent in. Jeremy even posted this reply, but I guess there have been more important things to work on. ===================================== If you guys can find a database of benchmarks in the UK, I'd be happy to add them.

+Captain Morgan Posted October 22, 2002 Author Share Posted October 22, 2002 Finnish trigpoint database probably exists too. I will ask about it from the National Land Survey of Finland. Finnish trigpoints can be found also from 1:20000 topographic maps. Link to comment
