What type geocache is this?

[+booksncomics]

GCWVJX and one I have not been to yet. From looking at the description, it looks like a traditional hide, so why is that symbol on the map?

Are the coordinates on the geocache page in italics?

But there’s nothing to solve. I see that it says Solved when I click on Waypoints. But who solved it?

But what if the coordinates for example weren't quite accurate and someone in their log said hey. I found them 70 ft away. You could edit the coordinates to show the correct ones.

Gotcha. It’s more like a coordinate correction then than a puzzle?

On the website description, yes

If this is the case, then you must've edited and resumbitted the coordinates at some point.

No

If this is the case, its probably just a common visual glitch usually after you opened a solved puzzle cache or something

Jumping pig, i just saw the marker on the map for the first time tonight. I didn’t change anything. But someone else mentioned the coordinates in the log, so if I understand what Smitherington and Max and 99 told me, somehow, they made a change to the coordinates and the cache icon changed from the regular treasure box on green balloon to the puzzle piece on blue. Did I get that right, Max and 99/Smitherington?

This is something you would have had to do yourself. Only you can update coordinates on the geocache page. Only you can see them..

How is it done? If I did it, it was purely accidental. And how do I undo it?

Like I explained earlier, you do it and undo it by clicking on the pencil icon next to the coordinates. You can change the coordinates this way, or you can hit the restore button that puts them back to the original coordinates. 

When you put corrected coordinates in, you also have to click the accept button before it saves them.

Aha. Well I know part of how I did it then. There have been times when I hold my finger on the coordinates so I can copy and paste them into google maps, and that box pops up. I guess I had another set of coordinates on my clipboard when trying to close the box.  I don’t remember saving it though.

That makes perfect sense!

I know I’m trying your patience with my ignorance about so much of this. Thanks for sticking with me until I finally understand.
