Re: Can a challenge checker be made for finding all counties in two states? How about 2 DeLorme challenges completed?

Need to know if challenge checkers can be done for these to things? Thanks.
Finding all counties in two states is doable (presumably this would just be restricted to US states). If you provide a GCCode then someone will be able to produce a checker for it.

I don't believe new DeLorme style challenges are permitted anymore. The recent updates in the guidelines prohibit user defined areas and require "Challenge cache criteria may be based upon these geographic areas: countries, states/provinces, counties (or their local equivalent)." See http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=206#criteria for full details.
If it is a challenge for all counties in any US State , this does not fit into the Easy tagging script.

If it is defined as any State west of the Missippi , this fits into the config
I was able to build a checker for the whole United States.
If I run the checker your output wiil look like this

Can you supply a GCcode for the checker?
I’d like to have a checker made like this for my challenge cache. This is my first challenge cache so I’m not sure how this works. Let me know what I need to do to get this done. Thanks so much for your help
We have an existing challenge with all counties in 2 or more states criteria. (GC2QN4X). If desired checker could be tagged to our challenge.
Here is the link http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC2QN4X/21985

I saw one strange thing, according PGC Florida has 67 counties but you found 68
I guess that is becauce there is caches in Florida with no county. Likely located out at see. The checker should not treat an empty result as a county. But it might be problems for countries without countries
Thanks Target. Problem is solved , caches placed without a county are excluded.
Thank you to both Vogelbird and Target for creating the Multiple state challenge checker.
