This page contains information specific to Geocaching Australia. |
Geocaching Australia allows you to import certain files in order to keep your statistical information up to date.
The types of files you can import are detailed here.
Contents
[hide]Caches and Logs
There is a dedicated page detailing how to accomplish this. http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Uploading_logs
FTF (First to Find)
When you are the First to Find (FTF) a particular cache you can use Geocaching Australia to keep track of those achievements. If you are new to Geocaching Australia or you have a lot of FTF's to claim, you can import a file to automate those claims.
The structure and name of the file are important.
Create a text file called ftf.txt
In that file list the caches that you wish to claim a FTF on with each new cache on a spearate line.
eg.
GC1234
GA4567
GC1235
GA4568
Then use the Import facility which is found near the bottom of your My page.
- Click on the Browse button to find the file that you just created.
- Click on the Import button to import your information.
The page may take a while to load depending on how much information you are importing. When complete you should receive a notification of how many FTF's were imported and whether there were any errors.
Planned (Caches you plan to find)
When you are the planning to find a particular cache you can use Geocaching Australia to keep track of those plans. If you are new to Geocaching Australia or you have a lot of plans to make, you can import a file to automate those claims.
The structure and name of the file are important.
Create a text file called planned.txt
In that file list the caches that you wish to mark as planned on your hotlist on with each new cache on a spearate line.
eg.
GC1234
GA4567
GC1235
GA4568
Then use the Import facility which is found near the bottom of your My page.
- Click on the Browse button to find the file that you just created.
- Click on the Import button to import your information.
The page may take a while to load depending on how much information you are importing. When complete you should receive a notification of how many planned caches were imported and whether there were any errors.
Ratings
You have the ability to assign a rating to a cache when you make your found or DNF log. If you are new to Geocaching Australia or you have a lot of ratings to make, you can import a file to automate those ratings.
Check the available rating descriptions: http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Rating
The structure and name of the file are important.
Create a text file called rating.txt
In that file list the caches that you wish to rate, along with the rating description and the rating value seperated by a comma with each new cache on a separate line.
eg.
GC1234,Overall Experience,1
GA4567,Overall Experience,2
GC1235,Overall Experience,3
GA4568,Overall Experience,4
Then use the Import facility which is found near the bottom of your My page.
- Click on the Browse button to find the file that you just created.
- Click on the Import button to import your information.
The page may take a while to load depending on how much information you are importing. When complete you should receive a notification of how many ratings were imported and whether there were any errors.
