    Converting files of all sorts.

    Yes, all private. I got a response from David (see below) and it seems like the problem is that the PDF doesn't have the right data attached to it. But there must be a GeoPDF version available somewhere as the map works perfectly on Avenza maps (but that version is only allowed to be used...

    Converting files of all sorts.

    Thanks auriphile. Yes, I could create polygons for each seperate part of the park but then I would have to enable individual layers on Trilobite (turn it on, see if it is the right area, turn it off, try another one, etc). For my WA trips each year I make those polygons in Google Earth, name...

    Converting files of all sorts.

    Hi Simmo. Thanks, it sort of did. I emailed that to myself and could see it was a kmz file. I then saved it as a kml file, emailed it to myself, opened it on my phone in Trilobite and it said there were no saved features. I then tried the whole process myself using mygeodata website to...

    Converting files of all sorts.

    Afternoon all. I’ve got a specific question but also thought why not create a thread re: how to do this or a place we can put files and people might be kind enough to convert if they know how. I’m wanting to convert the Bendigo Regional Park Prospecting map to kml so I can use it on...

    Changes in Victoria's prospecting rules

    So from what I can see there Bush, it just says that it is exempt from being "subject to a licence". And guessing that is why it is in the Industry Related fields on GeoVic. Possibly thinking that none of this new stuff relates to recreational prospectors at all?

    Changes in Victoria's prospecting rules

    Interesting Hawkear that Parks have passed it onto their local management team. My response is not specifically related to this thread but more re: 'who actually polices recreational prospectors'? I spoke to the regional director of Parks about 2 years ago and asked re: the whole exempt...

    First timer visiting Bendigo and surrounds

    Hi Nathan. You’re a fair chance out the Whipstick to at least find some shiny yellow - albeit amongst a heck of a lot of lead shot and other rubbish. Just look for some old diggings, shallow workings, etc. Snakes - in 8 years of detecting I’ve seen 1 brown snake. I think whilst detecting...

    Today I BOUGHT

    I look at most things but had never checked these. Just looked at John West mussels and oysters in the cupboard - both from China :( So that's the end of that! Thanks for the heads up.

    First Specimen I found yesterday

    Very nice!! What sort of scale are we looking at Sauce? Fills the palm of your hand or a 1/4 the size of a 5 cent piece? ;)

    WANTED 19" nugget finder evolution coil - open

    It does, it fits perfectly. That is what I have and stuff falls within the spokes and then gets under the spokes between the skid plate. I think I understand your idea of sealing the gaps. Are you thinking silicone or no-more-gaps or something like that? Actually, the brother-in-law has some...

    WANTED 19" nugget finder evolution coil - open

    In saying that, I have an open 19", only because I inherited it. If I was buying one I would buy a closed design. I really dislike spoked design coils purely for the 'getting hung up on stuff' issue. Yes the spoked are lighter but at that size we are all using a bungy anyway so minimal...

    Satellite comms via iPhones model 13 and later

    Yep, still not where it needs to be for us in Australia but it seems not too far away. As per the YouTube link below it appears Apple are using the Globalstar network. Not sure about Starlink? I used Iridium via the Zoleo device earlier this year and it worked great. Messaging feature on...
