Search for nearest geocaches

:: services/caches/search/nearest method

The center point (typically - the user's location), in the "lat|lon" format.

Use positive numbers for latitudes in the northern hemisphere and longitudes in the eastern hemisphere (and negative for southern and western hemispheres accordingly). These are full degrees with a dot as a decimal point (ex. "54.3|22.3").

Maximal distance (from the center point) for the cache to be included in the results. Unlike in most other places, this distance is given in kilometers instead of meters (it may contain a floating point though).

Default value: default-coords

In general, this parameter should take the same value as in the services/caches/formatters/gpx method, but currently only two values are supported: default-coords and alt_wpt:user-coords.

Allows you to search among alternate locations of the geocache, instead of the default one. Particularily useful with alt_wpt:user-coords alternate waypoint.

Please note, that if you plan on using this option in conjunction with search_and_retrieve method, then you'd probably want to use the same option in your retr_method too (if available).
