GA map

Post by Goldenwattle » 17 July 15 6:56 pm

Does this map only display caches in Australia and NZ (although the NZ Chatham Islands (part of NZ) appear excluded)?

Pretty much Australia only nowadays, not sure how reliable our NZ data is.

GC added Chatham islands and we never bothered. NZ does not play GCA so if they're not correct I'm not all that fussed.

When I loaded the extra numbers for my international catches, would my Chatham Island catches have been counted too?

After a month or so if it is not updated it will vanish off the map.

"After a month or so if it is not updated it will vanish off the map."

Then they haven't been counted, and perhaps not all from my recent seven weeks overseas holiday in Europe either. Oh well :?!

Import your my finds pq from gc to keep your stats up to date.

I'm confused. However, I did recently import overseas finds (Europe, etc), so perhaps my Chatham Island finds came across as part of that.

They will disappear off the map, but will still count in your stats. The reason is if this site hasn't had a recent update for a cache it assumes it is archived.

What's the gc id and we can check and stop guessing.

Here's a couple:
GC4R8KA
GC2DNHK

So many more caches I see have appeared since my visit. There were only three caches when I visited.

If they appear in PQs for either the North Island or South Island they will get updated weekly as I import those PQs.

http://geocaching.com.au/cache/gc4r8ka.gmap
Your is the first log.
It shows in your found list as

All is well except for the "state" name.
