Only true of you are just looking at a map. Get nearest waypoint will show
both of them. Can that NOT be done on the Colorado? If so, that is a major
limitation!

But those caches that use the exact same spot for the beginning make the
caches plot on top of each other on the GPS. That makes things difficult
and many times you don't realize there are two caches there. So I wish it
would not be allowed. At least put a little distance between the cache so
on your GPS you can see there are two caches there.

If I understand correctly from Glenn, it IS OK to use an existing WP used in
another cache as long as it is something existing and permanent, such as a
information sign, date on a bridge, etc. However, if it is a tag someone
placed, or a container with a number in/on it, or the final location for an
existing cache, then it is not.
There are lots of caches out there that use the same starting point, such as
a parking lot, for the first WP of a multi or offset.
I'm sure Glenn will step in if needed to clarify this.

I always thought that if a stage in a multi is static (i.e., no actual
container, just a landmark containing a clue) it is exempt from the 0.1
rule...

- Wouldn't it then be a waypoint in a multi-cache? If so, wouldn't that fall
under the 0.1 mile separation rule?

Not sure I understand what you are asking or of it is allowed, but one issue
is when caches are at the same point or very close, you can only see one on
the GPS.

Hello, guys...I have a question about an idea I had...
A long time ago I placed a cache (GC10AT0) that had the posted coordinates
lead you to a marker where the cacher had to find elements within the marker
to get the final cache coordinates.
My question is this...is it permitted to utilize that same sign as a start
point for another cache?
I would use it like before, only this time the numbers attained would be
used to create the call number to find the book cache within the library
(which is next to said marker).
If not, would it be okay to use the same marker as a starting point for the
cacher to take the call number and go inside to find the cache?
Thanks!
