[GeoSTL] Re: locationless, new find category coming soon !

I think that's fair. I still enjoy seeing some of the pictures and locations
of SOME of the locationless caches.

Have you seen the new "Benchmark hunting"? It's fun looking for the marker
using the clues of the distance and directions from a nail & shiner.

We're introducing a variation of Geocaching called Benchmark Hunting! (US
Only, unfortunately) Initially we're making it only available to subscribers
in order to give you the first look at it and offer any suggestions you
have. After logging into the geocaching site, go to this URL:

http://www.geocaching.com/mark
<A HREF="http://www.geocaching.com/mark";>For URL Challenged Browsers</A>

In many cases a GPS unit isn't required, but can be quite helpful to find
these markers. We've been waiting for a while to launch this, and now that
we have the capacity to store the 700,000 benchmarks in the US we can
finally let folks play with it.

We're testing a new image upload feature that allows you to upload images of
many different formats which will be automatically converted to JPG on the
site. We've also upped the image size to around 4 megs, though it will be
shrunk down after the upload. In addition you can apply coordinates to the
image.
