Geocaching Australia

The dates for most GC events are out by one day on GCA. Not exactly sure why this is, but possibly because Groundspeak are now including the event start time in the GPX file (in the <time> tag) whereas previously this was set to 00:00:00

I was pushing it to 5-10 thousand (with Chrome on an older machine) before I had problems which is probably ok for most users. Just interesting to note these changes happened without a senate discussion. At first I thought it was a mistake.

There seems to be an issue with the Google Maps pages. When reloading caches (after the map is moved), the javascript for deleting the old caches from the map has been commented out for some reason. (lines 604-642 of gmap.php) This eventually leads to the browser crashing due to lack of memory.

Yes, he is a member, he logged one of my GCA caches a few months back. I don't think he has any hides on GCA though.

I was talking to Bob from elsewhere today and he mentioned that he might have more puzzle cache hides than anyone else in Australia. So I went to look it up but couldn't find the graph of "Cachers by most puzzle cache hides" - do we have that, and if so where is it?

Was discussing unloved caches with Freddo and apparently this page runs out of memory for people with 30,000 finds: https://geocaching.com.au/cacher/statistics/Freddo/unloved/ I works for me with 11,000 finds. Thanks for the report. The memory has been increased. The page will take up to 2 minutes ...

Remember that Groundspeak is an American company with American rules. Why should they care about Australian rules? We only make up a small percentage of their user-base. And most of us keeping paying them anyway, irrelevant of what caches they decide they are going to archive...

The recent icon update seems to have caused caches that I've DNFed to disappear from the map/queries. (which some may say is a good thing :lol: ) Query 3485. This cache should be in the query but isn't: GC391E8 They come up for me for my DNFs That query is 5000 caches and far too big for me to sort...

I'm happy to go again unless someone else wants to have a go. I acknowledge that I haven't been the most active one on the team but I try to help where I can.

For those that didn't already know, I live in SA and have been caching for about 9 years. And have been a GCA senator for 2 (or 3?) years now.

Seems to work with several combinations of coords and bearings. Thanks.

It seems like any point that has a non-zero minutes in the east coord causes the error, for example: A simple case where the answer should be S33 00.000 E138 01.000 Point 1: S34 00.000 E138 01.000 with a bearing of 0 or 360 Point 2: S33 00.000 E139 00.000 with a bearing of 270 Instead it gives this ...
