Feature query

Post by The Morris » 01 August 15 5:49 pm

Messers ratsatwork
Is it possible for me to create a virtual and when someone uploads a pic (Or maybe enters a codeword)they get an automatic response such as partial coords? Then once they have logged 3 separate but related virtuals they have the option for a physical cache. I know I can do it as a multi but the objects are quite a distance from each other and I like the idea of 4 for for the price of 3. :griffin

Not at the moment but it could be done. Example may be the coordinate checker. If they enter the forrect coords they get a message. Might be doable for a password type cache. Its not there yet though. If yiu seriously want it done i can do something.

I don't know - does anyone think it would be worth it? Because some will find it difficult to upload a pic if they are travelling it may not be worth pursuing.

But then there are a number of people who do regularly do GCA caches in Bendigo and would probably be prepared to try it.

I like the concept but haven't yet worked out how to upload images from iphone without trying to use the web version of GCA on the tiny phone screen.

If it is possible I would like to try and hide a couple of these and see how they go. Maybe entering a codeword to give you partial coordinates.

Hokey dokey, what are you looking from me to develop?

If the enter the correct code word they are shown another piece of information to help them along?

Yep. I'm thinking they log the virtual as usual. Log plus photo.

If they want to try for a physical cache then they have the option to enter a code word which gives them a message. Might be partial coordinates or some instructions.
