OS caches logged but don't show upon GCA

Post by acko » 04 October 12 9:54 pm

I've found caches OS but they'except for one in Malaysia don't show up in GCA. They have been logged in GC. How can I fix this problem. I really appreciate any help. Colin

GCA doesn't automatically get cache feeds from outside Australia or New Zealand. If a premium member of GC simply generate a My Finds query and then import it here at http://geocaching.com.au/my/import/

If you aren't a premium member of GC then you will have to download each cache GPX individually and do the same.

Other options would be to generate a GC query for caches you have found in each country and import those if the My Finds get too big.

Apologies for the slightly generic response, but it may help others. :)

If you upload a gpx with some overseas finds, do those caches then get updated regularly, or only if you or someone else re-uploads a gpx containing those caches?

And after a period they will start to show as archived here as they haven't been updated for a while, even if they are in fact still online on the other site.
