[Az-Geocaching] Cache database

Thu Jul 12 07:19:31 MST 2007

You are absolutely right about my earlier comments.

But would publishing the waypoint names ONLY of archived caches be a
violation?  That would allow for validation data that is no longer directly
available, without sharing the complete pocket query database.

It would actually be helpful for new cachers to have access to easier access
to older cache listings.  Perhaps they were looking to place a cache in an
area that had several caches located before.  There may be a unique reason
why the cache placed at that location didn't survive... that the current
approver is not aware of.
