The inconsideration is the culprit, not even terrible coords here.
I am only going to use an average of readings from my GPSr. i am into the hunt
of the game not the technology. Pinpoint is impossible to achieve, because
they are only as good as the worst receiver. Not to mention conditions,
positions, and terrain on any day. I think having a 30 feet or less
descrepency is fine.
>Everyone's idea of fun is different.
Very true... I like to hunt the cache not grab and go. I am not the type to
load only one stage caches so I can just rack up finds. I like to have
puzzles, multis and hard to find micros in the woods. The cache page has the
descriptions, hints and logs to help. I use all the info I read before going
on the hunt.
I am not saying we shouldn't attempt to get the most accurate coords as
possible. I am just saying it is pointless to attempt pinpoint because most
people do not go to the trouble of buying all the technology or devoting the
time to get pinpoint when hiding. So zero on my GPSr will not land me on your
caches "pinpoint" when i hide.
I am trying to make sense of my arguement. I hope I haven't failed.
