[Az-Geocaching] Just noticed this...

[Jake Olson]

actually, you'd only have to hack off the "G" for now, hopefully you'll be
upgraded to a new GPS unit before they add another character to the waypoint
name.

It took them almost 7 years to get to the 7th character added... the need
for the 8th character will be exponentially a few years off.
