[GeoStL] Re: Thanks

-

I don't know about Windows software that does this,
but I have made caching decisions based on Geocaching
waypoints that I have loaded into GPSdrive.  It
doesn't TELL you what one's are near the interstate,
you have to look at the map, but it's made me notice
caches that I otherwise would have put off till later
if I hadn't have known how close to the highway they
are.

I'm just agreeing that it's a usefull, if not a
complicated to implement, feature.

I'm babbling again. Time to take my pills.
