Add coordinates to my logs


15Tango

Recommended Posts

When I find a cache with loose coordinates, I'll mark the actual location in my GPS. There used to be a special spot to add my coords to my log so they're bold and easier for others to read, but I can't find that any more - now, all I can do is just add them in the text of my log. Am I going blind and just no longer seeing this feature, or is it gone?

It was removed last December as part of changes to accomodate this year's Find Signal the Frog locationless cache. See this release notes thread for more info.

If it were really a Locationless Cache, then the coordinates would be required so that no two cachers log the same item.  But this is definitely NOT a Locationless Cache.

Yes -- removed a very useful feature for a very silly reason.  Hope they really think it was worth it.

The issue was that you were unable to see those on the apps.

 

They should make the process more clear for how to update coordinate for all those clueless CO but even with our suggestions Groundspeak doesn't seems to care.

 

But yeah that new ''Locationless Cache'' is completely absurd and against what was a locationless cache. The closest MEGA from my home is 740 km in a straight line and thats including half of it over the Atlantic......

That would be a separate problem that actually DID need to be resolved.  This is one of those many gc.com UI instances where more function (ease of entry/display of alternates) was more important than more cute (a Signal without a home).
