Nano Size category

[+TeamTangent]

I'm kinda new here, but I've noticed "Nano" caches are becoming pretty mainstream.

The term is used universally to describe a cache about 1/10th the size or less of a 35mm Film Canister; the de-facto "Micro" size.

Web-sites are selling "Nano Geocache Containers": http://www.cachingcontainers.com/sf/Nano_Geocache_Containers

 

Thus, I propose and argue that adding a "Nano" size category to the database is an inevitability and needs to happen.

 

The cache-size standard would then be:

Nano = ~1/10th a Micro. May need tweezers to retrieve the log

Micro = 35mm Film Canister size

Small = 1 liter soda pop bottle size

Regular = Shoe box / 50mm Ammo Can size

Large = 5 gallon bucket size

This has been proposed many times over the years. We are still waiting. Jimmy the Greek has very high odds that it will be implemented.

According to a lackey: "We already have this in our database. Implementation must wait for the upcoming GPX schema release."

 

The rollout of the GPX schema release has been delayed, so all the new features that depend on it have also been delayed.

A nano is a micro. What's the problem?

Ah, but a nano is a small micro.
