Players should pass the checker before they are allowed to log the cache as found. This practically means that no one will qualify. You should reverse this requirement by not allowing any finds from this area to qualify :)

Checker can get current coordinates automatically after the cache is published.

Yes

I tried this once myself. I found that reviewers are so annoyed to review challenges that thay they do not want to see anything which even remotely resembles a challenge unless forced by headquarters. You may find this difficult to achieve but I would like to see the result anyway.

If your cache is not a real challenge (word challenge missing from the title) the checker will be automatically disabled. It is still possible to create a tool, which is not directly linked to the cache, but I do not know if there is any guideline at PGC which allows or disallows this kind of use.
