Cache proximity

Within geocaching circles it is generally considered good practice to hide your cache in a location that is not too near another players existing cache.

On geocaching.com it is enforced by reviewers that caches be no closer than 160m (0.1 miles) from the nearest cache.

On GCA this is a purely voluntary process. To facilitate this and to ensure good karma on your behalf, we provide a proximity warning if you place a cache within 150m of an existing cache (be it gc or gca).

This is purely a courtesy, it is up to you as to if you decide to move it a bit or not!
