New feature - Neighbours [closed]

Post by Mind Socket » 26 May 06 12:27 pm

Ever wanted to <strike>stalk</strike> meet somebody new, but couldn't be bothered going all the way across town? Now you can find out who your neighbours are, right here on GCA!
<p>
Anywhere you see a cacher sidebar, there is an extra link, next to mates.
<p>
<a href="http://geocaching.com.au/search/?nn=Mind+Socket">Check it out!</a>
<p>For info about how this works, have a peek at the <a href="http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Neighbours">wiki</a>.

I should have mentioned, there's a 25km limit, so finding out you have no neighbours might not be fun.

I think the mates page will do that (if you're a "known cacher")

Interesting....it seems to think I live in Molesworth :shock: and my nearest neighbour is Derringer (7km away) in Cathkin

Except I live in Benalla (75km from Molesworth), and Derringer lives in Seymour (38km from Cathkin) :?

at least your clost to where you live, the system some how had me in a completly different state.

I checked my home co-ords and they werent even close to what they should be, so i reckon i must have had a couple of drinks last time i updated themm, and 3's turned into 8's, etc :?: :?: :?:

You may have neighbours but they haven't added in their co-ords.
Keep on caching, you'll collect some mates sooner or later.

Event caches are perfect for getting mates. :)
