Another listing site

Yes, yet another listing site. http://geocaching.gpsgames.org
Somewhere to put your locationless and moveable caches. The search engine has all Australian States listed. The closest cache is in NZ.

More bandwagoning. Mabye there is some profit potential. 'Please make a donation to help run this website (and secretly pay for my slab of beer this weekend)'

One small thing I liked was the encryption code, which also included an encryption on the numbers as well as the normal letters for the hints etc. Although not a big worry at all to me, it would make it less obvious to skim your eye over a printed sheet and accidentally pick up an unwanted clue.

And i suppose they couldn't figure out how to have WA-Western Australia and WA - Washington on the same list... All Australian states?? I think not:P

G'day. I run the site http://geocaching.gpsgames.org . I've enjoyed working on GPS games such as Geodashing, MinuteWar, and GeoPoker. Recently, it dawned on me that I had about 90% of the programming done to offer a geocaching listing service as well. I've heard many geocachers lament the fact that they couldn't list virtuals or moving caches or locationless caches on gc.com, so I thought another listing service would be welcomed, or at least tolerated. ;-)
<P>
Although I like beer, I'm not out to make money on geocaching. On the contrary, the profit motive at gc.com is partly why I offer an alternative site.

Thanks, elmofreak, for pointing out that the US state of Washington clobbered the Australian state of Western Australia in the pulldown menus. That's a bug. It's been fixed.
