Letterboxing with Atlas Quest
Letterboxing is an intriguing pastime combining artistic ability with delightful "treasure-hunts" in beautiful, scenic places. Participants seek out hidden letterboxes by following clues, and then record their discovery in their personal journal with the help of a rubber stamp that's part of the letterbox. In addition, letterboxers have their own personal stamps which they use to stamp into the letterbox's logbook. [Learn more]
And Atlas Quest, dedicated to providing tools and searches to identify the letterboxes that best fit your needs. From tutorials to message boards, you'll find the information you need.
What's New on Atlas Quest?
- Box comments have arrived! Instead of just being able to tell the owner of a box how great a time you had finding it, you can let the whole world know. If, however, you'd prefer not to allow public comments on your boxes, update your Preferences, where you can choose to allow public comments, moderate them, or not allow them at all.
- Atlas Quest now distinguishes between several subtypes of traditional letterboxes including bonus boxes and word-of-mouth boxes. Update your listings by going to the Attributes section while editing boxes.
- Letterboxer Trading Cards are here! Create them, list them, search them, and find them. What are they, you ask? Read all about them in the help pages in the new section for Letterboxer Trading Cards.
- City-centered searches have been replaced with location-based searches. Search by park names, addresses, street intersections, zip codes, airport codes, and more! The ultimate letterbox search just keeps getting better!
- Contacts are here! Keep a list of members you frequently contact or look up in your Contacts list. No more trying to remember how someone spelled their trail name—just look it up in your contacts list.
- Help is here! Use your letterboxing expertise to add to and edit information about letterboxing, or look up answers to many of your most pressing letterboxing questions.
- Google Maps are here! Whenever you create a search, you can now map the results through Google Maps. For example, check out the newest letterboxes listed today or yesterday.
