Notifications

[spatialriq]

Any idea why my GCA new caches notification isn't working?

I've got Events and Virtuals set for a 100km radius and this (http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga4680) is well within that range, but I didn't get a notification

It looks like it's tried to calculate your bounding box from the middle of nowhere as the cache is a long way from the middle of nowhere, it doesn't find you.
Can I suggest you reset your home co-ords in your settings (http://geocaching.com.au/my/settings) and I'll check what they end up looking like.
Move them by a .001 on both the lat and lon.

It could be a bug with your cachername being not the same cache as your username, but lets try moving your hom co-ords first.

I should know this, but how do I set up notifications for GCA? I didn't know you could, so I've been relying on the daily emails.

Hi RebornCyclist

It's under My > Settings, then click on "Set you cache alerts".

I hope that helps.

I've moved them a tad more, so it's close to home. I live on a roundabout

Ok, they now seem to be set correctly.
The top left of a box would be -30.92258 114.77988
The bottom right of the box would be -32.71925 116.89429
We will find any even in that box, then check to see if it's within 100km.

Cool, thanks KoT.
