+BountyHunter1 Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Hi I was wondering if anyone can explain. I have just read the info on Benchmarks but this only seems to deal with the US can anyone tell me weather we have equivalent or similar over here Thanks Gorymorph Strangers are only friends you have not met yet Quote Link to comment
+jeremyp Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Benchmarks are marks at a fixed known location which are used as reference points for surveying. The benchmarks in the geocaching database are all ones in the US. The closest equivalent we have in the UK is the trigpoint network. Most trigpoints are now disused due to various systems based on GPS. There was some effort put into getting our trigpoints into the Geocaching database but it stalled for reasons that are not clear to me. Because of this, we now have our own trigpoint database. ------- jeremyp The second ten million caches were the worst too. http://www.jeremyp.net/geocaching Quote Link to comment
