[Cancelled] Checker request - visit 20 of the 30 biggest cities in germany
June 24, 2016 11:32AM
Hello,

I´m asking for a challenge checker for my idea:
Visit 20 of the 30 biggest cities in Germany.

The database is wikipedia with the list of the biggest cities (population). The challenge is to visit 20 of them. I know that the smallest area is the county and the map isnt divided to cities. The residual risk is that someone visit the airport in frankfurt, log 3 caches around this area and never put a feet to the city.

I´m unsure if you need 1 cache, better three or some more. The easiest way against cheating is to limit the cachetypes only for Tradi, Multi, Mystery, Letterbox and Wherigo.

Is this idea possible? After a feedback I will write the cachelisting.

Thanks for you help.

@all: please give me a review for this idea.

Is is possible if you speechify them by using counties. circle and radius is perhaps ok
See guideline 10 and the last point in each column.

If you use counties the name must be the same as pgc uses
The names can be found here http://project-gc.com/Tools/MapCompare

It is possible to group counties for a city but i not know if a checker exist that can do that.

Target's remark "It is possible to group counties for a city but i not know if a checker exist that can do that."

The answer in this case it is possible with the easy tagging script or just use the poly checker to merge them based on the OSM boundaries as used by PGC

Look nice but the CO do not meet the requirements as is needed.

Please revise the used regions /counties if you think they are approprierat.
And change the required number / find appropriate caches for the challenge

Thanks for your help. I am surprised that the checker is finished as soon.

I found a mistake in the checker. In the City Gelsenkirchen I found a Cache GC4F9XX. The checker told me: "Gelsenkirchen 0 Caches. Could you Check where the borders are for this city? I checked with Google Maps.

Thank you.

it is in Germany / Nordrhein-Westfalen / Herne accrediting to pgc
check with map counties if you are a paying member

or map compare if you are not

Google maps are often not that accurate. I think pgc uses the osm maps for Germany but I might be wrong. I have logged a cache in sweden on a border and it was 12 km away on google maps

There is no feedback from the cacher who requested a checker for more than 2 months therefore this thread will be cancelled. The request can always be resurrected by placing a new request when this becomes a necessety.
