Geocaching Australia

Sorry, its been a while.... I think I must get into this when we're in the Blue Mountains each year..... its too windy to do much today.... What I was saying - for a GC.com PQ for any given cache, the GPX file has the following: <sym>Geocache Found</sym> <type>Geocache|Earthcache</type> for a cache ...

Yep - thanks very much Roger - we loved our 100 finds PT, we'll have to pull our fingers out and crack on for 200 now.....

Thanks (belated!) for the advice guys....

Whilst caching in Queenstown (NZ) last week we came across this....



There was an identical info plate under a trig elsewhere, but this one doesn't have a mast or post/cairn etc....

Could we/should we publish it?

Cheers, Lee

I've noted that the queries I make for our GPS for trigs don't seem to indicate the found status - ie they all show up with the same symbol whether we've logged a find or not. Is there a fix to this?
I'm using a Garmin Oregon....
Cheers

100 today! - we managed to work it in with our 2000th cache.....

We've passed the halfway point now..... and now we've worked out how to have them display on the GPS we're on fire!

That was it.... Thanks very much CraigRat.... I didn't have a filter active, as I always want to see all caches, but went into the filter settings and hit "Show All" - now they appear, but as that weird little chest symbol that Garmin use. The last time I had to delve into the filter was when caches...

Instead of using the file you got emailed to you, create a query and upload that GPX file to it. Does that work? I think I've tried that too - do you mean going to the page at http://geocaching.com.au/my/query/ and trying the ZIP/GPX link? I placed the GPX file on my sons little Magellan explorist ...

I still can't get a trigs GPX file to show up....
On the GPS is a bunch of waypoint files (made in GPS) and a Groundspeak Pocket Query - should I expect the trigs to co-exist with them like that?
I've changed the format to 1.0.1 with no result.....
Any/all help appreciated....

I don't seem to be able to get a trigs GPX file to show up on my Garmin Oregon 650. I have a GPX mailed to me daily, but when I copy it to the GPX folder on the GPSr, the waypoints don't show up on the map, or in the search list. I've looked at the GPX file with a GPX file editor, and it clearly sho...

Hello, and welcome to caching! Nice to have another Yorke Peninsula cacher! (I'm from Curramulka myself - you?) And I second Yurt's suggestion for c:geo. I have been using it for years and it is a great app - it also happens to be free! Ardrossan. Literally started doing this sunday afternoon. Kids...

I took my two kids out caching on the weekend, to finish off the day, we did a little 7 cache PT - in and out of the car every 250m with a three year old to buckle/unbuckle - I'd had enough of PT-ing after 7.... :) The weekend before we set off into the National Park/State Forest for 3 hours to get ...

To be honest I wasn't even aware of the distinction between GCA and the 'main mob' - I was introduced to geocaching by a friend with the iPhone app, and thought what I was seeing here in terms of caches was really a mirror of the app's caches..... I am now assuming that there are caches here that ar...

Hi there....
New to GC, have had some fun doing some local caches lately, with 5&2yo in tow.... Did some extreme-geocaching on the weekend - pushing/carrying a pram up Mount Sugarloaf, lucky we found the cache!
