Currently, we are in an internal write up with officers, we would be happy for you to join as an officer if you like Max and 99 Thanks, James0116

I had an email from a member who had questions about the Waymarking category. I have taken out personal information, and the last line is asking if there is a Fourm page (which I have just started). Does this location have a Fuel Station - tick What fuel does the location serve - not real sure that users will understand that you want to know Premium/Unleaded/LPG or other Fuel Type Explenation - [need to correct spelling -> Explanation] This may be to explain my above concern on 'What fuel the location serves', but is it necessary? Fuel Station Location Coordinates (Optional) - from being in opposite hemispheres to the majority of the Waymarks us Aussies have always had major issues with getting the coordinates - especially the hemispheres correct. So, wondering if it is necessary? Is this locations Food court indoors or Outdoors - fair enough, not been to enough to know if there is differences! Does the Warehouse have any of these special centres - [as I haven't seen the discussions in the Forum, not really sure what you are expecting] Special Centres Other description - seems a double up with the above variable, unless there is a 'tick-a-box' option. What Membership Cards are Available - Okay Membership Card Differences - Redundant from the above variable (in my opinion) Does this location do delivery of goods - Okay Location Differances - A) This is not like McDonalds where there is multiple in any given location; 'Spelling Police' -> Differences; This should be in the Long Description Location differences explenation - A) Is there a 'Tick-a-Box'? Are you wanting variances in Parking: Above/under-ground, Time Limits, Costs, Trolleys? C)'Spelling Police" -> 'explanation'! I will answer the questions below (number represents the dot point in order from top to bottom) No issue here Costco fuel stations serve different fuel types (i.e. in WA, they sell E10 fuel, whereas, in most of the rest of the country, they don't serve it). Also, in different countries, they have fuel different from what we would normally sell in Australia and other countries. Due to the other box not being able to be filled in, this is for people to fill in fuel types not listed. Some Costco fuel stations are located further away than the main warehouse entrance across the world, so to make it easier, having this option is just to clarify where it is (hence, it is optional) No issue here, but here is a link to why I have this (it used to be that you could buy food without a membership if it was outside, but this has changed now: https://www.cnet.com/culture/little-known-costco-secret-what-you-can-buy-without-a-membership/ See the link here for what I meant by special centres (also Tyres, Optical, and Hearing, but they have separate links on Costco AUS): https://www.costco.com.au/kiosks this is to fill in if there is an option at that location that is not listed. So that it can be listed, as I do not have the time to research 18 different countries' websites, which are in multiple languages. No issue here This is if you choose 'Other' as some countries have a specific membership only at their location/country. No issue here Some countries have different Costco (i.e. average Costco, Costco Business centre, etc.). This is to differentiate the type of Costco as I have listed. If the location is different from your average Costco in any way, you will tick yes . The long answer is to explain any differences to a regular Costco that is not listed. It could be there is a parking difference, trolly difference, trade/business centre only, All spelling mistakes have been made from what I can see, If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message me on Waymarking, Thanks, James0116

This is where we will discussing any issues that need to be made for the Costco Wholesale category

I finally got this to work, to get it to work you have to go into the settings, change the connectivity to NMEA Mode then connect it to the computer, and while connected change the setting from NMEA Mode to Connect to PC mode and then choose to connect, this then gets the device to recognise the GPS, Thanks again everyone for your help here James0116

Also, I updated to 1.6 and it won't seem to connect to the computer after this, is there a way to fix this as I have one GC GPS now at 1.6 and two on 1.7, do you know a way to jump them so i can download geocaches onto them please Thanks, James A

Hey Atlas Cached, Thank you for finding this for the community, You wouldn't know what the latest version of Vantage point would be by chance ??, I live in Australia where Magellan I think went bust over here, and the website doesn't work at all, Thanks, James0116

Hi, Could the ‘Cactus’ attribute be reinstated to the geocaching website please, since the ‘Lost and Found’ attribute is still active but is up for historical purposes, it’s sad that this can’t be available, especially since there is a cache somewhere that still has it, (I’m not saying which one as it will likely get hammered if I do), just bring it back please thanks James0116

Hi, could there be a way to get a Didn’t Attend for events, if you couldn’t attend but you put a will attend it feels more rude to just put a write note for it, I would rather have the opportunity to say it and then show that I didn’t attend, same as if I couldn’t find a cache. thanks James0116

Could you or someone who has discovered the existence of the code give me a hint on where to try to find/decode the trackable code(e.g. is the thing I'm looking for on this page or another page all together, like the NASA page?) Thanks, James0116

Thank you everyone for your help I have taken your feedback on and will use what you have said, I am also going to contact Geocaching HQ for the possibility of benchmarking to be added to the Waymarking website st people can add benchmarks if they are available in their own country, then people can collect that they have done a benchmark and get the special icon on their profile statistics thanks James0116

Hi, we can’t seem to find any benchmarks is Australia on the geocaching website, even though there are survey markers all around Australia we were wondering if there was any benchmarking in Australia or is it only accessible in 2 countries, if that is the case, can we start benchmarking in Australia or is this only reserved for North America, thanks, James0116
