Is there a question in here ?
OpenCaching.com has been there for some time.
Canīt say that there is alot of caches there, and one of the things i found
interesting
is that they donīt want the caches to be to close to each other, i belive i
read that they think it is best that the
distance between caches is 1000 meters, where Groundpeak rulles says 161
meters.

Happy Caching
Leo

no, they say on their website 0.1 miles, so the same a Groundspeak.

I think they will fins it hard to get lots of caches listed there.
Seeing as you don't *have* to pay to use geocaching.com.

Is this some sort of garmon projext? seeing as the pages are copyright

This it what is on the Danish Translation of the site

Caches bør placeres med mindst en kilometers afstand for at undgå forvirring
om, hvilken cache, man har fundet.
^^^^^^^^^^

The undermarked says one kilomerets, and i cant finde a way to get to see
the US English version of the rules page,
but i guess something went wrong when they translatet the page.

And yes, it is a garmin site.
