"1000 Places To See Before You Die"

A great start.

"Adventure/Experiences (Example: Tracking the Mountain Gorilla-Uganda, Swimming with Manatees-Florida) may use coords for businesses that are used but must provide ample photos of experience."

How are you going to track these if only one indexed location is allowed?

I'll give you and example.

I waymark the skydive that I did in Oregon then someone else waymarks one in the UK.

What easy mechanism are you going to provide to find if number 200 in the life list is done already?

The link in the description does not work.  No judgment based on it but I thought you'd want to know!

I admit there's still a few bugs in the category. I'm hoping to tighten up the problems with input from peer review.

As far as the skydive thing, I haven't found the skydiving reference in the books that I have. If you have a specific reference in the book, please let me know so that I might find a solution. Almost all if not all of the indexed sites in the book/books should be localized (some of them are vast areas) in order to help waymark visits that might follow.

By localize, I mean provide specific coordinates for at least one photographed area in the indexed site. You may also localize and "experience" by photographing and providing coords for any business that coordinated your "experience."

I realize that it's not a perfect category. That's why I entered it in the Waymarking Games section. 

 

Likely the skydive isn't indexed anywhere since the books here seem to focus on places rather than doing things. So possibly the first references should all be for locations that are indexed.

"Go Sky Diving.
Write a Novel.
Visit Rome. "

Maybe it should be :

Investigate Stonehenge.
Walk on the Great Wall of China.
Visit Rome.

Unless there are action type things in the book.

Good point.

I just noticed that Barnes and Noble has the US and Canada Version of the book for 5.99
