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.
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.
Ratings
You have the ability to assign a rating to a cache when you make your found of 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.
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 on with each new cache on a separate line, seperated by a comma
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.
