+Yellow Bug Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 Great maps - hope to use them on my visit sometime in Feb - Mar. 2004. I wonder why "The Photographer's Cache IX" (Northland) does not show on your maps? Yellow Bug (Hawaii) Quote
+swanny Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 Took me quite a while to find this cache . I initially thought that the software that generates the pages was at fault . While getting ready to debug my way through the code I looked at several caches in the area, (there's quite a few new caches in the South Island that I hadn't even noticed before ) to see where it should have been drawn. I eventually found it, it is there, but it's very well hidden amongst the caches in Dunedin, near another cache called Unity Park. Quote
+BaldEd Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 No, there's a problem there Swanny. The Photographer's Cache IX (Northland) is a request for a photo of the Tane Mahuta kauri tree situated in the Waipoua Kauri Forest north of Dargaville in the North Island. Somehow the cache is displayed in the Dunedin Map - probably because there has been a cross posting of coordinates with The Photographer's Cache III (I think it was) which gave Dunedin City coords requesting a photo of a Yellow Eyed Penguin.

+BaldEd Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 I've finally figured it out I guess it must have been Yellow Bug that requested, probably last year, (I regret I didn't keep a copy of the cache page) the photo of a yellow eyed penguin with the Dunedin Coords. But when nobody had responded he recently changed the request to the kauri tree pix, hence the cache is still listed as being in Dunedin when in fact it is now in Northland. Quote
+swanny Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 I wondered what had happeded there - why it didn't have any mention of the cache being in Dunedin. I'll delete it tomorrow. Once a cache is discovered by the program it doesn't look at it again. This isn't a fault of the program, it's by design - an attempt to minimise hits on geocaching.com A bit of a pain it got shifted really, I might have been able to get the Dunedin pic in a few weeks Thanks BaldEd for figuring that one out .

Yes it was. I was going to try for it, but, it is far more difficult to find a yellow-eyed penguin when you want to than you might expect. Cheers, Donovan. Quote
Hairy Little Dwarf Posted May 23, 2003 Posted May 23, 2003 Hiya Yellow Bug, Just to let you know your request for a piccy will be granted tomorrow 25/5. Cheers HLD Who is nowhere near Dunedin I aim to become immortal. So far, so good.... Quote
