The following has now occurred:SUBYDAZZ wrote:Regarding the change of locations for locationless and removal of state, how will they be treated in a finders stats? ie all cache finds are identified by state of find currently. Also I'm not sure about the zero location as it will place all of these in the South Atlantic Ocean near Africa? Maybe some other format can be used?
Lat / Lon set to zero. If you look at them on a map, you will see them in the middle of the ocean.
Locale (i.e. suburb) has been set to Locationless
State has been set to Loc
Country has been set to Locationless
They will appear on your stats page as Loc (in the state section) and Locationless (in the country section).
You can still get a GPX file for all locationless here:

That way you can still know about all of the locationless caches at GCA.
They won't come out in the state files as they are no longer state based.
If you select the Google Earth link, you can see where all of the logs have been made. I'll leave the other points to CraigRat as he's presumably got some ideas.
