Geocaching Australia

My Locations is a function developed by Geocaching Australia to create, edit and delete locations which you frequently refer to.
For example, if you are an active cacher involved with Moveable caches creating and maintaining a list of My Locations enables to you to see these locations when you log a Moveable cache and easily use the co-ordinates from the list of My Locations.
To create, edit and delete locations you can go to your My Locations which can be found under the My Profile link on the menu. You can get there directly from this link http://geocaching.com.au/my/settings
You can create a new My Location by entering the data in the last row of blank text boxes. You can update any of your My Locations by editing the data in each line.
Enter a meaningful name for your location. This is the name that will be displayed to you on the log page. The list is sorted by the name (ascending). Enter a hint which will be automatically inserted for you. Enter a set of co-ordinates for your location and click the Update button. The page will be displayed again showing the new name, co-ordinates and a small, static Google Map for you to confirm your location is accurate.
To delete a My Location, simply click the Delete box and click the Update button.
My Locations are displayed on the Log page when you go to log a geocache. Simply selecting the appropriate My Location name from the drop down box will automatically populate the co-ordinates and the hint in the co-ordinates box. To clear the co-ordinates box, blank it out or select "Select a saved location" from the drop down box.

F5 forces the new javascript file to come down. The same sorts of problems exist with new .css files. Eventually they all expire and get downloaded again, but the first time or two or three, it looks wrong

This is now the place to go to update your trophies and will now display counts of what you need to gain the trophy.

It would be great to have an option to select "Is on my Planned List" when creating a query.

Make it easier to play the dragonZone game by identify by state which zones are controlled by which clan.

So while it is not immediately practical to make what you want, we could create a page like http://geocaching.com.au/dragonzone/zonecontrol/ but in state columns rather than by clan. i.e. All zones under Victoria with the counts of caches controlled. That would not let you see what caches are easy targets, but would show you what zones may be controllable.

For each state it will show you all the zones and who controls (or which ones are uncontrolled). Still do not have a good way to calculate which caches are in that zone as a summary. Sorry you're going to need to put in some effort
For example if you were to travel through Melton you would see that 4 caches are controlled by Griffin, none by Phoenix, 13 by Cerberus and none by Minotaur. So if you were a Phoenix clan member you would need to get 13 or more to control the zone. You might bypass and try another zone on your way to your destination.
Melton (S)
4.00 0.00 13.00 0.00

Thanks for your suggestion in making Geocaching Australia a better site.

OR you could see how many points are need to take control of each of the 13 Cerberus ones and just find and control 7 of the achievable ones. 13-7=6, 0+7=7
