    More Resoluton on Distance to Nearest Waymark

    When approving a Wamark, if there's another nearby you are presented with a notice something like "There is another Waymark in your Category within 1 mile of this one."  This is an excellent notice.  I request it be refined a little to give the actual distance to the near Waymark in feet.   Something like, "Another Waymark in your Category is 375 feet away."  The notice would continue to be presented only when  the distance is less than a mile (5280 feet) as it is now.

    If you look on the list of exisiting Waymarks there is a distance indication in tenths of a mile/kilometer.

    I'm guessing you're meaning how it's done in Geocaching.

    Thanks.  I'd never noticed that.  Adding it to the notice in feet would still be nice, but not as needed now that I see this.
