What is the difference between geocaching and waymarking?

In geocaching, it’s all about the hunt and the treasure at the end. With waymarking, the location, itself, is the treasure. The primary difference is that no physical object is placed when creating a waymark. This added freedom allows us to enjoy certain locations that have previously been off-limits to geocaching. This time, the entire focus is on what can be gained from the location in terms of education, entertainment, or simply your obsessive desire to document the location of every annual Star Trek convention (for, you know, a friend).
