| − | A [[Locationless cache]] is a [[cache]] where the hider has found something interesting and sets a challenge to other [[geocacher]]s to find more of the same item.
| |
| − | The items could be
| |
| − | * State Survey Markers
| |
| − | * Unique letterboxes
| |
| − | * Dams of the world

| − | ==Guidelines==
| |
| − | [[Locationless cache]]s are welcome on [http://geocaching.com.au/caches/locationless/au/ Geocaching Australia].
| |
| − | [[Geocaching.com]] does not accept these caches for listing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Locating a List==
| |
| − | As there is no location for a [[Locationless cache]], there are no associated co-ordinates, state or country for [[Locationless cache]]s. A list of [[Locationless cache]]s can be found on Geocaching Australia [http://geocaching.com.au/caches/locationless at the following location].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Additional Support==
| |
| − | A handy list of the [[Geocaching.com]] locationless caches that were approved before the blanket ban can be found in [http://home.comcast.net/~geocacherbb/Locationless.html this useful organiser].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The [http://factsfacts.com/geocachingsoft/locationless.htm Locationless Proximity Analyser] can help indicate used positions for Locationless caches.

| − | ==Proximity==
| |
| − | When listing a locationless cache, the cache owner can set distance that your find must be from any previous find. The intent is to avoid having the same location logged more than once. A default value of 161m is set for all locationless caches unless the cache owner overrides this value.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When you are logging a locationless cache, if your log is within the distance set by the cache owner of another log, you will receive an alert message when you save your log. This alert message will highlight previous logs that are within the distance from your find. You are encouraged to check the other log and see if your log is finding the same item. If it is, then you are encouraged to edit your new log and change it to a note.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Maximum Number of Finds==
| |
| − | When listing a locationless cache, the cache owner can set a maximum number of times you can find this cache. The intent is to avoid having the same cachers logged more than a defined number of times. A default value of 0 is set for all locationless caches unless the cache owner overrides this value. A value of 0 is unrestricted finding.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When you are logging a locationless cache, if your log would put your find count over the maximum number of finds permitted, you will receive an error message and your log will not be processed.
