Re: GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo
Newbie here.
I've noticed that my GeGnomes (GA7907 & GA7908) show their original coordinates as being the same as their current location.
The tracker on their page shows they have moved 0km, but they do appear on the ladder as having moved.
Does this mean that when the move was logged, the published coords changed somehow?

Re: GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo
The Moved log has the same co-ordinates as the original hide for some reason.
you may need to get in touch with J & J and get it fixed OR it got put back in the original spot......

Those coordinates are where the gnomes have been moved to. The coordinates in the published log have changed for some reason.

Re: GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo
Edit your published logs and set the location as the original co-ordinates and they should all work out. Not quite sure how this happened, but it's the easiest way to fix it.Gizmo's Gang wrote:Newbie here.

I wasn't sure if I should do that or not.
All fixed now.
Re: GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo

If you're looking at the ladder, click on the Home tab at the top of the ladder and the link is there.Chasburgs wrote:Whats the link to see all the gnomes in map style rather than list again please?
Here's the link to the map:

Re: GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo
Thanks Gizmo's Gang. Is that link meant to show the gnomes on the map? I don't see the gnomes? Trying to plan a couple trips

There are links to a list of gnomes, GPX files and a map.
When I click on the map, the gnomes aren't showing.
(but they have previously when I've followed the map link, so maybe it's just my computer today.)
Re: GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo
found it!!
Re: GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo
Although there is a lot of Gnew Gnomers this year, would it be fair to say that overall there's not as many as past years? We have 4 gnomes in the race and so far the stats are
Gnome 1 - 3 moves and stuck since 6 Dec GA5882
Gnome 2 - 6 moves and stuck since 12 Dec GA5751
Gnome 3 - 7 moves and stuck since 17 Dec GA5515
Gnome 4 - 5 moves however last moved 25 Dec GA6180 but in a pretty isolated spot so will probably stay there for a while lol
Added to that 6 gnomes were taken to Phillip Island on 5 Dec and have been stuck there ever since ... Not surprising considering how far it is, how much petrol it would use to pick them up!! Otherwise we would have considered it. I put a message on each one about a week ago saying the cacher who took them down there should bring them back to a more high traffic area!!
Having said all the above, we have really enjoyed our Gnoming & having 11 Gnomes by other Cachers share Christmas with us lol (& yes we held on to a few for about 3-6 days over Christmas but otherwise have pretty much kept to the 48 hour turn around) Gots lots of fun photos too lol
What do other people think in comparison to previous games?

Re: GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo
^^ Oh btw ahomburg plans to pick up the gnomes stranded on Phillip Island on 1 January
Re: GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo
Haha there is an absolute glut of gnomes in Sutherland NSW at the moment. I'm hoping to go pick up a few tomorrow/next week - how do I figure out where the active GA cachers in Sydney are though?
While there are plenty of GC cachers around, there's not a lot of GA caches within 10km of Sydney, and I don't want to inadvertently boot them out of the game.
Thanks for the game - I am absolutely delighting in the idea of hiding these things in plain sight; they look like they should just sit on a wall or something.

Re: GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo
Lidcombe/Rookwood is always good, or if they head to the northern side of town I can grab them. If you leave them around Rookwood or Parramatta near a train station I am sure rogerw3 will come and grab them quickly.
