GSA Excel file

Perhaps one of the GSA website administrators can help here.

 

When one clicks on the Excel spreadsheet download button - one can download the latest database of Earthcaches.

 

However it only downloads 6 fields - Type / Country / StateProv / waypoint / Classification / developer

 

Could it be possible to get the NAME of the Earthcache and a dynamic link on ht e waypoint or name to take you to the webpage?

Also - The following EarthCache does not show up on the database.

 

I am not sure why.

 

Maropeng Earthcache by Cache-Fan (GCQJM6) - Gauteng Province - South Africa

So what this means is that the database shows 83 EC's in SA - but a search using GC.com and filtering EC's - shows 84

Maybe because the 84th earthcache has nothing to do with geology, and therefore ought to be archived because virtual caches don't get listed here anymore?

 

It would make a nice waymark under the World Heritage Sites or Science Museums categories over at Waymarking.com, though.

Fossils are geological. And this was one of the earlier EC's in the mix - so no problem there.

 

Why bring up Waymarking? Is there a value add in making it a waymark in your opinion?

 

That seems like an odd response to a technical question?
