No probs - just thought I might be missing something somewhere!

I like the way the GSAK forum works which has that feature, but they are using Invision Power Board(U) v1.3.1 Final.

Oh well, maybe something to consider in the future.

Reading GCA Forum Posts

Is there a setting within the forum whereby when selecting new posts since last visit, that within each thread you go to the first unread post, rather than to the first or last post in the thread?

Hi matmob, I think the maps will only "appear" if you are in the area in which you have downloaded the map for. So unless you've downloaded the whole shonkymaps onto a SD card and the GPSr has a SD card slot, you'll have to load each mapset upto the limit of what the memory is onboard the GPSr. Jard...

Trying to instill a little humour - perhaps someone can create a Whereigo cartridge and hold a Mega Event in the ether of the Whereigo cartridge where we only need 500 teams to meet in the same ether at the same time, rather than physically at the same location on planet Earth. Unfortunately cacher ...

Maybe GC can create an event which sits in between a normal event and a Mega Event, call it a Main Event. This event would require a minimum of 100 attendees to be given Main Event status. Most states would be able to hold one or two Main Events per year. In SA it would be the Xmas Event and the Jun...

Of which almost 600 cachers have >200 finds. Of the 2,000 active cachers, a break down by state may give an indication as to which state may be able to achiev a Mega Event with some assistance from interstate cachers. Perhaps GC could review its Mega Event policy to account for the tyranny of distan...

I'm not happy with a DNF on a FTF when the co-ordinates are out!! Technically you've "found" GZ according to the co-ords given, but obviously can't write in a non-existent log book. So in the strict interpretation of FTF, it's not a FTF because you haven't been able to document the "find" in the lo...

Location Co-ordinates in Logs

I've just downloaded the locationless caches into my GSAK. When viewing the logs as they have been imported into GSAK, the location of the logged co-ordinates are not displayed. As an example, I was looking at http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0271 (Christmas Light Cache) and the locations are displa...

I agree with Skip. I use an old Palm Tungsten with Cachemate. GSAK is on the main PC and there are options to download cache details to Cachemate and a macro to import found cache data back into GSAK either as a user note (and you edit what you want to uplaod to GC com wbesite) or directly into the ...

Daily Updates

Hi, I think in the last week or so, the daily update no longer includes the link for that cache so as to go directly to the GC website. Is there any reason for having to go to the GCA web page for that cache and then click the GC code to get to the GC website? By the way, the revised memo is great w...

I would have thought if it is locationless there is no co-ordinates.
No doubt c@w will be able to enlighten you more on this.

c@w, I think you've hit it on the head with the "missing" state on the GPX. I was wondering why the daily state email update had so many caches which had the state updated. No doubt, reincluding them is what then threw out the ranges for the PQ. And, the reason why when I loaded my 5 PQ's four of th...
