Geocaching Australia

Most phones of thelast one or two generations have a perfectly ok GPS in them a-gps is only used to get a quick, coarse fix for the purposes of getting a near-enough position fix, nearly all ohones out there nowadays have full gps on board The general rule is you get what you pay for.... buy a $100...

Just bought GSAK V8. I was looking to use the "Geocaching.com access" to speed stuff up but found some issues; 1. My Finds PQ is not in the "Download Pocket Queries.." list so needs to be collected manually. This is not so big an issue as I actually need the GPX file to import into GCA and "My Geoca...

As a CO I will take more notice of DNF logs from a couple of experienced cachers than from a couple of people with very few finds between them as well. This was what I was meaning. None of the CO's were 'upset' at all. It was my DNF that caused them to go check and then email me, even though I didn...

I recently logged 5 DNFs in a row (May 14) but really, with 400+ finds under my belt, even I think that was a pretty poor show. The issue I found with my DNFs (all due to a REALLY bad day as I did spend at least 30 minutes searching for each before giving it away) was that it caused the CO's of thre...

Personally I would even expand the list to include survey marks. If someone, somewhere has used it as a reference point or marked it on a map as such and there's still something for me to find then it's a Trig point. Trigonometrical stations (some might also call these "Trig points") and straight s...

Just throw some fuel on the flames. :wink: These are in the database and have been since '09; http://geocaching.com.au/cache/tp5254 http://geocaching.com.au/cache/tp5275 The following one is interesting. No metal structure at all, but there is a rock cairn. It would be visible from a distance but no...

Hi guys, I see that this discussion appears to cover Survey and Bench Marks as well as Trig points. I created TP5618 thinking it was a Trig, but had it archived as it was only a Survey Mark. So a few questions to the experts:- Are their instructions anywhere on GCA that explain what is a Trig, what ...

I guess its OK to mention other Nokia models beside the 900, so I shall chip in with my Nokia N97 mini. I Installed SmartGPX and its GPS dll for paperless integration to the integrated GPS, Landmarks and OVI maps. I also installed the S60 version of GClive just so I could locate caches visually and ...

OK, I have an answer. The problem I was having was that by default, GSAK will load all caches into the Nuvi 1250 as Favourites storing little more than an icon and location. This also interferes with other non-cache locations and makes it very hard to manage (imagine 2000 favourites!) The POI databa...

Hi all, My wife and I are new to geocaching. We have the Nuvi 1250 and have used the myGarmin website to load cache data directly into it. Downloading from the GPSr into GSAK shows me that myGarmin loaded all the GPX details into the Nuvi unit (including hints). Does anyone know how to access the de...
