The public and private tags drop-down boxes on the GCA pages for Groundspeak caches don't seem to work.
The data is downloaded but the box is left as style="display: none;" so it isn't visible

Re: Discussion of new LGA zones
Cockatoo Island also has no LGA (which I think is correct)
The missing bit at Whyalla is weird. It almost looks like each zone came from different datasets that didn't quite line up.
The other bit of weirdness is that LGAs in Queensland and WA seem to include a lot of the ocean.

Re: Update of NSW Local Government Areas
How are you going to separate Mount Buller and Mount Stirling from each other? It seems like OSM can't even work out the answer to that. The Maralinga township used to be excluded from the Maralinga LGA (it was part of Unincorporated SA) but apparently that changed a few years ago and now it is part...

Re: Update of NSW Local Government Areas
It looks like they've got Falls Creek, Mt Hotham, Mt Baw Baw and Lake Mountain but are missing Mt Buller and Mt Stirling. Those two are both in that "gap" inside Mansfield. Maybe the OSM people couldn't find a boundary between the two and decided it was too hard? French Island is also missing. But t...

Re: Update of NSW Local Government Areas
I think the folks at OSM have tried to fix most of those inconsistencies. Sometimes they even leave notes about it

ProjectGC uses OSM data (I just realised they created that download site)

Re: Update of NSW Local Government Areas
I've used this site before with success despite the clunky interface https://osm-boundaries.com/caughtatwork wrote: ↑09 October 23 1:21 pmCould you point to the source? We're open to using anything we can that is free and open.
Looks like you want the level "6" boundaries to get LGAs in Australia

Re: Update of NSW Local Government Areas
Have you considered using the LGA data from OSM? It covers all of Australia, has consistent borders and I think it's up to date with the boundary changes to.

Re: Update of NSW Local Government Areas
It looks like Jerilderie seems to have ended up without an LGA ? No LGA shows up there on the GCA google maps. Also shows as unfound (or missing?) in my stats even though I've found 4 caches there.

Re: Stats request - Finds on CCE events
I looked a bit more into this and it appears they do have a different type when using Groundspeak's API but not with their GPX files, which would be why ProjectGC recognises them as a different type. With GSAK, you get different results depending on if you use the API or the GPX importer. Which is a...

Seems to be working now, NSW appears to be the correct shape. Thanks.caughtatwork wrote: ↑30 November 22 7:24 amThanks for that. I cannot explain why, but those two zones had been disabled. I have enabled them and it looks right to me. Please check and let me know if this is still an issue.

Stats request - Finds on CCE events
There is currently this graph for finds on events: https://geocaching.com.au/stats/cachers ... inds_event
And there are similar ones for CITOs and megas.
Would it be possible to have a CCE event one?

Re: What Three Words
Also be aware that W3W will charge us for using there API if we go above 1000 requests per month. I have no idea how close we'd get to that limit. There is also a thing out there called "What Free Words" which is an open source version of the same algorithm the W3W uses. The people at W3W are not to...

Re: What Three Words
There are a few puzzles in SA that use OLC/Plus codes. The lack of accuracy has caused problems with some of these puzzles. The solution seems to be to make sure the Geochecker has a radius of about 15m on it so it accepts all coordinates within the square.
