+miniil Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Hi, When creating the page of my first mystery cache I notice something that may be a bug. I'll try to explain it in english but as I speak french it may be not clear. So if I edit the final coords my cache follow the rule of 2 miles from de virtual coords. But If I edit the virtual coords the rule is not respected. In fact it's possible to enter coords more than 2 miles away. Is it a bug? Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 If you succeed in creating and saving a Mystery with more than 2 miles between Final and cache page coords, post that GC Code - Geocaching HQ staff can see it and investigate. Quote Link to comment

+Goldenwattle Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 So no more cross country multicaches then I guess, or are they still allowed, as long as the cache is hidden near the start? Quote Link to comment

The 2 mile rule is for mystery caches, not multicaches. 1 Quote Link to comment

Multi caches can have published coordinates more than 2 miles from the final location. The two mile proximity limit between the published coordinates and the final location is for puzzle caches. Two different cache types, two different guidelines. Quote Link to comment
