The Evolution of Waymarking?


Bon Echo

Recommended Posts

Currently listing to the Geocaching Podcast (first time actually), and there's a bit that Waymarkers might be interested in listening to.

You can listen to the entire podcast if you want an interesting inside look at the early days of geocaching.com, or you can skip to 45:00 to hear a few comments on the Waymarking side.

Oh, and just because it's easy to check: there where  67081 waymarks added in 2018.

Does anyone track the number of submissions per year? I'd be interested to see those stats if they are available.

Checked it out - not particularly edifying. So now we have up to two months to wait, twiddle our thumbs and hope that this is good news.

Forgot to check the date of that podcast - maybe that two months has already passed.

The podcast seems to be from the 13th of Feb. Maybe something new will show up in April/May. Or maybe they could just fix the search feature.

It's nice to see that Groundspeak didn't pulled the plug even with the low numbers so I am wondering what it will be.

 

A search option to show missing category would be nice.

True! And as saopaulo1 pointed out, a search feature that worked would be nice, too!!!

PS - How many Atlantic Canada visits do you have now? I know it's a lot!

PPS - I just looked - 1,084

So April has come and gone and May is nearly out the door. Anyone notice and hear anything about changes?
