+QuesterMark Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I was googling for something else, and I happened across this PDF document from 2007. "Assessment of State Historical Marker Programs" http://www.njht.org/dca/njht/publ/HistoricalMarkersFinal102307.pdf "Waymarking.com" is referenced several times in the document. Quote Link to comment

+Benchmark Blasterz Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I know for a fact that the Texas Historical Commission uses the Texas historical marker waymarks for many purposes. I am an active volunteer helping the THC update and expand its Atlas of historical markers. Quote Link to comment
+T0SHEA Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) It's interesting that someone should bring this up. A few days ago I ran across yet another database listing of one thing and another which lists Waymarking as a reference database. It's far from the first time that I've noticed such a listing. Also, try searching on almost any tangible, Waymarkable item and a Waymark will often be at or near the top of the hit list. I've often found a Waymark of mine that I wanted to refer to simply by Googling an appropriate word and the town name. A Google spider must reside almost permanently at Waymarking as I can sometimes get a Google hit on a Waymark that is less than an hour old. Same goes for photos with Google Images. Oft times I can find old pix of mine most easily by Googling appropriate keywords. Keith Edited May 13, 2017 by BK-Hunters Quote Link to comment
+Manville Possum Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I know for a fact that the Texas Historical Commission uses the Texas historical marker waymarks for many purposes. Every Virginia Historical Marker in my region is also listed as a Pokemon GO stop. I know their game is based from Ingress locations, but suspect the data could have been shared through Waymarking. Just a hunch, something that we noticed as Pokemon GO players that Waymark. Quote Link to comment
