[GeoStL] Re: Mapping Question

-   No guessing involved as to distance. Just use the radius tool and it will draw a circle with the exact radius given. It also shows the center point of your circle and then you can use the location sensor to get the coords for your query.  Bernie.

A little simpler would be to pick a point halfway between your start &  finish, get the zipcode, and do a query from there. I have 63071 as being the  midpoint between cuba & Pevely. Then see if you have any Illinois caches on  it. If so, you can be pretty sure you are covered.

 Or you can use the location tool in Streets & Trips to pick a midpoint latitude/longitude. That's what I usually do on long trips. Also, use the distance tool to help estimate the radius of the circle.

 It seems to me we have enough Q/A here for a geocaching 102 course...
