I fail to see how the new geofence rules for Adventure Labs have any effect on AL geoart. The geoart is made up of the AL posted icons, not the individual locations. Unlike a mystery cache, where the final location must be within two miles of the posted coords, I cannot find any such restrictions on ALs. Therefore, a group of cachers can create a geoart in the middle of San Diego Bay and place all the associated locations in the same Walmart parking lot with a very small geofence.
Also (as long as I’m venting) too many people conflate cellular reception with the size of a geofence. They are two different things. One may arrive at a location with no cell service but their GPS chip will still identify where they are and open the geofence to read the question, which can be answered later once internet connection is reestablished. A huge geofence doesn’t get a cacher any closer to a plaque, statue, or whatever, to ascertain the answer to the question.
