Feature request: Allow mapping of a list with 528 foot circles around each entry. Add the option to show existing caches in the area with 528 foot circles around them too.

Reason: When placing caches in series, it's difficult to quickly see if any of the cache locations will fail the groundspeak rule requiring 528 feet between them. Unpublished caches don't show up on the groundspeak.com map. Players can spend quite a bit of time placing caches along a trail or around a park, only to find out later that they need to cancel submissions.

As cache owner, I think original application is poor.
I had this problem and solved it using c:geo, creating a new cache as container for a full tour, then adding mark points with the type waypoint (in place of reference point) for each cache.
Note: when doing that I name waypoint in such a way that i could add more than once the coordinate. Example: name the New cache as the name of the tour and naming each of waypoint taken WA1, WA2, WA3 then WB1,WB2, WB3 .. etc to have the best stable coordinate for WA, WB  

The only problem is that the new cache container also show an exclusion circle when you ask so for every cache.(I already asked c:geo to have the ability to show or not circle for new cache or to attribute it a type reference point.
