I thought the whole idea of PM only caches was that you had to be a premium member to access the coordinates :?
This does seem a bit odd?

Re: Anyone else been caching in greenland???

We have this discussion every now and then. Some want if to be where it was FIRST hidden, some want it where it hidden when they FOUND it, some want it where it is NOW. All 3 views are perfectly valid depending on your perspective, so until y'all can come up with a definitive solution that will res...

Re: opencaching.com GPX file import

If you are an OX cacher and want your stats collected together with your GCA and GC stats, your OX cacher name will need to be the same as your GCA cacher name, including case sensitivity. i.e. CAUGHTATWORK is not the same as caughtatwork. If you have found an OX cache and it's not showing up under...

Re: Web Hosting Costs?

All of my side projects such as androidcaching.com etc are hosted overseas with a company called hostgator, costs me about $10pm for unlimited everything (domains, subdomains, disk space and databases).

Re: Great (Shamelessly stolen from OCN) Idea! [Codeword cache]

I mean armchair logging a 1.5/1.5 suburban park cache is like cheating at solitaire... even though you win, you really lose :P) I agree with everything Zalgariath said and think the Codewords are a great idea. I also believe that there is a need to create geocaches (especially for the urban setting...

GSAK issues with 1.0.1

I'm not sure how this relates, today I updated GSAK with all my e-mail delivered queries (including ones from GCA). My find count went up by about 40, which I realised came from duplicate logs on some GCA caches; so I deleted all the GCA finds and re-imported my GCA "My FInds" query. Now my find cou...
