Re: Documentary About Geocaching

Nice timing. Just tidying up draft proposal that links geocaching into a new long distance multiuse track here in VIC. While most of the track management group have heard of geocaching, many have misunderstandings about it (e.g. digging holes, GPSr-less treasure hunt ...). So will link to this docum...

Re: GCA Official Geocache Sticker - Comments

Curious as to why the colour might not bleed off the edge? Most commercial sticker production, including vinyl stickers proposed, includes bleed off for a smarter look at no extra cost.

Re: My Routes

No need. Works beautifully. I took a Magellan .PLT file from a ride on the Dry Diggings Trail a few years ago, used GPSUtility http://www.gpsu.co.uk to convert to .KML and the result in Google Maps is great.

Re: Public Routes?

Thanks. Would you like me to e-mail the draft proposal for this particular track so you can get a good idea of what it might involve?

Public Routes?

:idea: Has consideration been given to a Public Routes facility version of My Routes? This arose because I'm interested in the potential for developing caches in conjunction with a particular long distance multi-use trail that is due to open this year. Then looking at Geocaching.com I notice their U...
