Yesterday it looked like the site had gone down, so I sent Mike an email. I
also noticed that the root of the site looks like the machine went through a
reinstall. Haven't heard anything more.
I was hoping to wait until there was more functionality available, but I
might as well plug Geocaching.com - All the stashes are available on the
site (and hopefully current), and I added some new capabilities to help you
find each stash. Some of the stuff works (like you can log a find online)
but some of the administration of your own stashes doesn't work quite yet.
Any input would be appreciated.
The geocaching phenomenon is starting to get too big to maintain on multiple
sites - hopefully I can add some functionality to take it to the next level
and make it easier to grow. I already talked to Mike Teague via e-mail and
he likes the direction so far. Let me know what you think!
New capabilities:
Nearest placenames (US only - trying to get other country data) to caches
Closest caches by zip code (US only again)
All caches have their own page with mapping data.
You can log a cache online (owners of caches will be able to remove bogus
logs)
Will be adding the ability to add your own stashes, update content, add
pictures of your visits, etc.

(it also works at www.geocashing.com - the way it sounds)
Cheers,
Jeremy

The URL of the GPS Stash home page yields a 404-not found error.

Is it a transient error or was the page moved?
Cheers.
