| − | ==GeoArt==
| |
| − | [[GeoArt]] is a form of art work created on the surface of the Earth using geocache locations to outline or create the art works.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==GeoArt Geocache==
| |
| − | The [[GeoArt]] geocache type allows you to create GeoArt at the Geocaching Australia website without having to resort to multi-cache offsets or mystery / puzzle geocaches to manipulate the desired map location. Simply create a [[GeoArt]] geocache, add in the GeoArt map co-ordinates and your [[GeoArt]] will be presented on the map.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Use==
| |
| − | Using a [[GeoArt]] geocache type, the geocache listing owner has two sets of coordinates that they will enter.
| |
| − | * The first set of co-ordinates is the location of the geocache container. This means the geocache would be a traditional geocache style hide where the published co-ordinates are the location of the geocache itself.
| |
| − | * The second set of co-ordinates known as the GeoArt co-ordinates or location is the location where the GeoArt icon will appear on the map marking out theGeoArt.
| |
| − | * Add a unique public tag to identify your GeoArt for use in MyQuery to narrow downloads to just your GeoArt.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Map==
| |
| − | A [[GeoArt]] geocache will appear on your map in two locations.<br />
| |
| − | * The first is where the listed co-ordinates have been published and the icon will change colour depending on whether your a find, DNF, archived, unavailable, etc, in the standard fashion of Geocaching Australia map icons.

| |
| − | * The second will be a mirror image of the GeoArt icon and will have an orange background to visually distinguish it from the standard icons. [[File:Gmapmarker_geoart.png]]<br />
| |
| − | This also means that before, during and after you have found all components of the GeoArt, you will still be able to see the GeoArt mapped out.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Technical==
| |
| − | * A [[GeoArt]] geocache does not have the ability to use codewords or GeoCheckers.<br />
| |
| − | * A [[GeoArt]] geocache will show up on your GPS as a traditional geocache type.<br />
| |
| − | * A [[GeoArt]] geocache will show up as a [[GeoArt]] geocache on your mobile phone app.
| |
| − | * A unique public tag identify your [[GeoArt]] geocache for use in MyQuery to narrow downloads to just your GeoArt.
