Test with starting point at Plymouth using default (linear) matching algorithm and cache size 5

Cache is built using a square with sides 20 km. User's path has steps of (2000, 2000) metres, with a total of 11 retrievals. Amount of look-ahead (both E and N) is 20km. Cache size is 5. (Size is set as a fixed value, derived from original size of 123).

Point furthest from the centre of cache (26700000, 07300000) is 2755984, 0698671; distance away is: 9.0824 kilometres.

Commentary on this starting point: this may be a favourable case as the cache is centred on an area with lots of attractions, and the area outside the cache has fewer attractions; the cache may, however, be smaller as Plymouth is on the sea, so part of the cache area covers the sea -- which has no tourist attractions.
