Locationless and moveable caches on GCA [closed]

Post by GEK » 17 January 05 8:18 pm

Sorry if I've missed this in all the recent turmoil...

Are we allowed to list locationless and/or moveable caches on GCA yet? The cache listing page does not include these as an option. Should they be listed as Virtual or Unknown, or are they still off-limits?

oops we just forgot to put them on the list! we also need to allow coordinates in the logs. we'll see if people can create test cache listings. once that's bedded down, we'll add the locationless and moveable functionality.

Quick Q about movable.
If the new co-ords go into the logs, how will a program like GSAK handle the co-ords?
Will is just show the originals and you have toi raed the log to find the new ones or will the new co-ords be available as the, um, co-ords so we know that this is the new location?

we plan to make the freshly logged coords automatically become the new coords of the cache

we've added the locationless type and coords to logs, so locationless should be working now.
next step is to add the moveable type and have the coordinates auto-update
