Geocaching Australia

I hope simple micros and nanos become dead, dead, dead. I hope todays newbies learn from the experience of others, and produce truly "worthy" caches. I hope that after a truly memorable walk, or visiting a fantastic spot; that there's something more to find than a 200 ml Sistema. I hope . . . ~~~~~...

Im in year 10 and there has been no talk of the laptops!!

Id imagine that benchmarks would be everything else apart from trig points that are used

BTW - Keep going with the Trig points. I'll be supporting it 100% once available.

Yeah i will be supporting it as much as i can!

Thanks for the work you have put in so far caught at work!!

Yeah that is a good idea to wait until the new server as it will be able to be set up in a more user friendly way!

Thanks CAW

Hows all this going CAW and Team Geoplask?

Have we got any further in developing this idea

What about the trig points on top of water towers?

That is fun and it would be good if there was an easy way to add on the GCA website!

Is it possible to do a bulk load onto a map and then you could see where they all are? Done, its an overview map of australia so its fairly coarse but hope it gives you an idea where some of these things might be. http://www.geocities.com/paul_skeen/working.jpg Most of the Trig Points in Outback Au...

I have plugged some of the Trig Points into map source and they arnt in any order regarding states and it seems to be the same data set for Shonky Maps.

Do these all have the circular thingy at the bottom or are they just the black pyramid thingies above them? So many questions, so many unknown terms :-) Most of the Trig Points have one of these circular thingy's at the bottom http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/f2dabedd-d1a5-47e2-a615-91ae1df09466...

Also any ideas as to how terr/diff could be updated to relate to the trig points as they are found?

I know from experience in finding a few trigs is that some of the terrain would be easily 5 star for distance from a road and the steep climb to the top!

Should there be a separate code for Trig Points?

Or would that be to hard and time consuming?

Are all the waypoints in WGS84 datum?

Is there any news on the development of this idea?
