we've developed a google earth cacher feed which allows you to cruise around the world and see where everyone is from
- the location of the bar is roughly their home coords
- the height is the number of gca finds they have
the link is at: http://geocaching.com.au/cachers/cachers.kml
privacy considerations:
we've said on the forum profile for ages: This is used to calculate distances from your caching headquarters and also plotted on maps which are available to the public. ... If you are are worried about geo-stalkers, put in the coordinates for your local pub or just make the last few digits zeroes to round it off"
nevertheless, lots of people have put in really accurate coords. someone mentioned to us that there's a risk that someone could see you were attending an event cache then go and rob your place. we've therefore rounded the coords to two decimal places, so the robbers will be robbing your unfortunate neighbours who live on mini-confluence points.
we hope you enjoy it
please let us know how it goes!
