Hey, has anyone else noticed the "Feedback" section on geocaching.com now? I think it must be a very recent addition. Though I haven't looked at it much yet, it appears that you can make suggestions and vote on if you like other suggestions that have been made. A couple the jump out to me are...
 
  • Bring back Virtual Caches (meh)
  • Cache ratings
  • FTF log type. :)

Anyway, you can see them all here... http://feedback.geocaching.com/geocaching/products/groundspeak_geocachingcom?style=idea

They should look into keeping stats for premium members. That way we wouldn't have to use after market software to do it for us.

Have you also noticed that they have changed the maps near the bottom of a cache listing - now shows the terrain - looks like a decent improvement
Paper is a biodegradable, renewable, sustainable product made from trees. Growing and harvesting trees provides jobs for millions of men and women, and working forests are good for the environment, providing clean air, clean water, wildlife habitat & carbon credits. Please remember to recycle after.

I like street views better.  You also can"t click on it anymore to bring up the larger map showing surrounding caches...you actually have to click on the link....

 It is actually way better. You see the terrain, which is helpful, then just click the icon of the cache and it asks do you want to view nearby caches, select yes and it brings you to the scrollable map that most are familiar with. Probably takes up less bandwidth, making gc dot com Lightening fast  ::) :o A bit of a change, but easy to get use to. Do not subscribe to any feedback items though, unless you want your email inbox bombarded with emails. And some people do.
If you don't like the way I drive....Stay off the sidewalk.

Learn how to use a compass. Gps is fine until it does not work, and it sucks to have to eat your friends to live.
