Adventure Lab® platform update: reduced geofence limit


Recommended Posts

Does geofence in this case indicate how far from the coordinates of the question you need to be to unlock the question?

500 meter seem ridiculously long in that case.

Or is it 500 meter between stages? But that can't be retroactively changed.

500 meters will now be the maximum allowed by the lab builder tool. Considering the current allowance is much larger, I think HQ is trying to curtail the number of AL geoarts that have popped up, especially those that don't have anything required to read or observe.

Update from Geocaching HQ: 

 

For the time being, we have decided not to retroactively reduce the maximum geofence to 500 meters (0.31 miles) for existing Adventure Locations that had a geofence limit higher than 500 meters. We may revisit this decision about retroactive changes in the future. 

 

We still encourage Adventure creators to archive existing Adventures with geofences greater than 500 meters. You can fill out this form by August 1, 2023, and we will issue you a new credit to create a new Adventure after August 1st.

 

As a reminder, as of July 3, 2023, all new Adventure Locations are limited to a geofence no greater than 500 meters.
