Each of those locations sound exciting - that'd be good ;D
Maybe the official Wherigo site could be taken over by someone
other than GS. I do think that it can still grow and improve so
much more.
Something I've never known is whether or not Wherigo caches are
allowed to virtual, should the area not be at all suited for a
physical cache?

You can make a Wherigo without a cache (container) at the end.
It can be listed on the Wherigo site.
To be listed on the caching site, and count on the caching site
as a Found, it HAS to have a physical cache at the end.

Well, had a walk/cycle round Bourton and I've got the start of a
route for my Wherigo and even a possible hiding spot for a large
cache :o :)

Wow ;D Proper Large caches are so rare now!
Presumably the spot is outside the town? :D

Had an interesting chat with Mze****a (user named stared out by
the system! - M z e b o n g a) about Wherigos after the Splash
Mob Event.
Apparently, the company who originally developed the underlining
code for Wherigo pulled out sometime ago, hence why there has
been no further development, as GS would have to get another
company to take on the development, presumably at some cost.
This begs the question, who owns the code, does GS or the
original company who developed it?

That's interesting and possibly does explain why it is still in
Beta. I reckon GS bought the code, but, as you implied, cannot
develop it any further.
M z e b o n g a should sign up (if it allows his username :D)
and share more of this - wonder how he knew. I always thought it
was 100% Groundspeak's.
Do you think that GS will EVER get round to doing something to
advance Wherigo themselves?

You could say actions speak louder than words and even after
many many requests to further develop Wherigo from the community
and GS claiming that they will - nothing has happened :(

Went yesterday to Worcester to collect some furniture and after
the talk at the Event on Saturday about the Reverse Cache
Wherigo
HTML http://coord.inf
o/GC4VVN1, I noticed with a divert I could give
this one a go, so off I went.
Got to GZ, did the preliminary information find which you need
to, before you start the cartridge. Went to the list and it
wasn't there :o :(
I was sure I downloaded it and put it in the correct folder.
Re-started my GPS, it still wasn't there, grrrr :( Lovely
gardens at Coughton Court and found a tradition cache so all
wasn't lost but....
Got home and looked via the PC and it was there.
Turns out, I had too many cartridges in the folder, so some
didn't display :( :(
I wasn't aware of that limitation and after a bit of web
surfing, couldn't find it mentioned anywhere for an Oregon 300.
Will have to experiment to find how many is too many.

That's weird - I didn't know there was a limit either :o
Perhaps I should delete the ones I have loaded on there.
