GC4E364 Travel 500000 miles
May 26, 2016 05:38PM
Although this cache has been active for three years, I would like someone to develop a Challenge Checker for me to place in the description so that future posts must verify with this rather than using GSAK and a macro OR the other method suggested in the description.

The cacher MUST have traveled over 500,000 miles in their cache finds to qualify to log this cache online.

The checkers does not have access to home coordinates and so it cant be done.
And i would disagree with the opinion that that calculation will result in the number of miles you have traveled. It assume that you return home after each find and that is not likley to be true
A more correct way is to caclulate the distance between finds in order and that can be done

Just to give you an idea of what it would look like. I tagged Target's script to show you what 500000 between caches would look like:

Here is what such a checker would look like. It would be much more stringent than your existing measures. If you look at going to the moon caches GC3EH8R measures things your way and I easily qualify. GC5KKKF uses Targets script and also takes me to the moon but I am barely over three quarters of the way there.

And it could be tested if it was enabled

I fixed the distance because the checker uses km not miles.
And removed the gcocde in the tag because the checker does not check for the requirements in the cache desciption

Passing through, happened to see this.

You may want to check the spelling and spacing in the Script output (at least if one does not fulfill the challenge), there are issues.

Yea, that script only has me traveling just over 130K rather than much higher with the GSAK macro.

Since this challenge will not be taggable under the current system, I'll archive it as "impossible"
