I think my phone also only does WAP.

Pretty please look at this too if it's not too hard.

Thanks - great teamwork going on here.

okay, we've put up a little test page to see if we can get it working
can you use your phone to browse to wap.geocaching.com.au and let us know whether it works

embi, are you still using wap.geocaching.com.au? if not, can we experiment with automating the wap stuff?

Feel free to do as you wish.. I have no need for it now and it would be good to see it in use for the people with wap.

wap.geocaching.com.au came up with a header line. Is that what I was expecting? Coz if it was, it works!!

Nokia 6800

it should say Geocaching Australia WAP Test Page
if you see that, then it works, so we can modify the mobile geocaching australia code to cater for wap devices

this won't be for a while because we are going away for a few weeks. see you when we get back.

not sure what my phone is (it's a nice blue one) but it would not work for me.
I will have to get all the details

we've added rough locations derived from postcodes. so now when you list caches within a state or near other caches, it tells you what suburb or area they are in.
Very rough, Six o'clock is stumps (GCJEJG) and Top of Tomato Hill (GCKF0Z) are both in Upwey, Vic. Two cars passing (GCJEJC) and Rabbitto's Ride (GCHNX8) would be in Ferntree Gully. Bills Stables (GCH5WM) would be about a 2 hours+ drive from Bonnie Doon :shock: . It's actually in Mt Dandenong. :o

Appears GC.com has finally offered a wap site. They have a "log a cache" option. Are we able to do that???

possibly, but it will be tricky - they are using weird urls, viewstates and javascript. we'll have a look
