Re: Feature query

Yep. I'm thinking they log the virtual as usual. Log plus photo.

If they want to try for a physical cache then they have the option to enter a code word which gives them a message. Might be partial coordinates or some instructions.

Re: Report GCA Site issues here

I set some virtuals (I thought) to publish next weekend but I see they are showing up on the dashboard. Did I do something wrong with them and if so what?

Re: Feature query

If it is possible I would like to try and hide a couple of these and see how they go. Maybe entering a codeword to give you partial coordinates.

geocaching is a world-wide scavenger hunt using GPS technology. The hobby is great for people of all ages (including little kids) and abilities (even for people with disabilities).

Re: Summarise Geocaching in 2 paragraphs

an activity or pastime in which an item Is hidden at a particular location for geolocation device users to find by means of coordinates posted on the Internet.

The item may be a container which holds a log book or an interesting feature you take a photo of and then post your adventure on line.

Re: Feature query

I don't know - does anyone think it would be worth it? Because some will find it difficult to upload a pic if they are travelling it may not be worth pursuing.

But then there are a number of people who do regularly do GCA caches in Bendigo and would probably be prepared to try it.

Feature query

Messers ratsatwork Is it possible for me to create a virtual and when someone uploads a pic (Or maybe enters a codeword)they get an automatic response such as partial coords? Then once they have logged 3 separate but related virtuals they have the option for a physical cache. I know I can do it as a...

Re: Swaggies are going to be removed from Geocaching Australia

Oh poo - Mr Morris made me a mini trig point which I made into a swaggie and we "visit" into any trigs that we log. I know there was an Alice the Camel one too who visited the Burke and Will caches. I copied the TB code as the password so it can be logged on either site using the same number. Beyond...

I'm not quite clear - will the page you go to show the description or will you have to click something else to see it?

Re: Event Ideas

There are lots of different ways to run an event - I would suggest have a look at your local (geocaching) community and see what the demographic is. If there are lots of young families a lunchtime barbecue at a park with a playground is probably the best option. You can set up meet and greet games o...

GCA Puzzle Caches

Be patient with me programming savvy people One of the top 5 things to look for in a puzzle cache on the other site is things written in the source code. So you look under usersupplied content for anything that might be/become a set of coordinates. Is there a similar phrase I should look for in a GC...
