How did they get approved?   

"What did he answered you, when you wrote to him first (before writing about it here in Forum)?"

No response.

Received this morning: "no photo, ok to delete.  was not waymarking when I was there."

 

The off-leash dog areas cat doesn't require a photo. They are happy to know the locations and descriptions of off-leash dog areas.

I've had a couple of visitors recently that didn't provide a photo, as they don't have a camera. I told them if their log was good I wouldn't require a photo.

The Waymarker has a camera and a GPS which was used to post a Waymark for off-leash dog area so a camera and GPS were available to post a Visit. 

Digital cameras that are perfectly functional for Waymarking and other web uses are very inexpensive.

In this economy, there are many people hit hard, especially around here. I just heard of a second friend loosing their home to a sherrifs sale. I, personally, can't justify requiring someone to buy a camera to post a visit to a waymark. A well written visit log can bring a better picture to my mind than another copy of an existing photo.

While I empathize with those struggling in today's economy. Perhaps spending their money and time on Waymarking is not the right solution either.

It never ceases to amaze me some of the things that people are not willing to give up.

Sorry to be blunt but if you don't have a camera and GPS then this is not the game for you. Come to this properly prepared, just like any other activity.

Q10:

Sorry to be blunt... but...

Everyone not having a camera or even a GPS are more than welcome to visit my Waymarks. My purpose in this activity is to show "... unique and interesting locations in the world" to the world.

Actually that is not your call.... as a category officer I can delete visits on waymarks in my categories which do not have photos if my category requires a photo for visits.  I don't make a habit of it but if it is obvious that there is an "armchair waymarker" then their visits are subject to disappear.

If you want to do waymarking a camera is required.... or I guess it is like skydiving and a parachute... you can go skydiving without using a parachute but it not advisable.

A Waymarker may not have a camera however if the Waymarker does not have a GPS how do they find the "... unique and interesting locations in the world"??  

In this case the Waymarker has a GPS (looks like a Garmin 60CSx) and a camera at least to post a Waymark.  There are no photos in the other two posted Waymarks.  And as far as I can tell no photographs were submitted for any of the 100+ Visits in three months.

As a side comment, one of the three Waymarks that he/she posted has coordinates ending in 00.000.  hmmm...

There is a big difference between posting a waymark, and visiting a waymark.

I can see requiring a nice photo for posting a waymark. The final product is the page that comes up on Google searches, and faces the world.

A visit is a whole nother animal. The purpose of the photo is to prove you have been there. I'm not going to call someone a liar for not posting a photo whne they have convinced me with their words.
