[Cancelled] 360 Degree challenge from home location
November 29, 2016 10:14PM
Is it possible to have a checker that will tell you if you have completed the 360 degree challenge from your home location.
There is one available from a fixed pint but I want to make it more readily attainable for each cacher from their home location

Can this be written?

This is not possible, please read http://project-gc.com/forum/read?8,13 first

What a checker can not do
* The checkers does not have access to the user's home coordinates. Challenges are not allowed to be based upon them either, and haven't been allowed to for several years. This is a matter of integrity.

If it is not possible to check from a users hone coordinates then is it possible from a fixed position?

For example the cache coordinates?

This one does exist - Example is http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC5C2AM. If you have not looked at it, check it out. Doesn't matter if you have found any caches near here to see how it works. It shows you caches that meet the missing sections of degrees.

It's possible, but challenges like that are not allowed under the new guidelines: https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=206

Specifically guideline 10, under Not allowed:
Challenges based on geographic areas other than countries, states/provinces, counties (or their local equivalent). For example, user-defined mapping polygons, latitude/longitude, radius, etc. (updated Aug 2016)
