Re: Adding a map to the checker

Hello,

How can I add a map to a checker results?

For example: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8ZGGX/54659 requires attending events in 25 Michigan counties. It outputs which counties the cacher has attended events in. I would like to add a map, in this case for Michigan, that has the counties shaded in that the cacher has attended events in. It would be even better if the attended counties were green and the unattended counties were red like in the "map counties" tool. About the closest thing I can come up with for an example is the checker for https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC411A1/42821

Thanks

I have found a similar checker: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC31WZ9/59569

This one checks for 3 finds in each of the townships in a county in Ohio. Is there a way to adapt this to check for finds in counties in a state?

Thanks

This is something that the scriptwriter has to include as part of the script, and is not something that taggers can (usually) just "turn on."

I'll have a look to see if I can find a county checker that generates maps.

Feel free to have a look at my "Generic Country / Region / County Checker with Map Output" script.

This supports showing counties and / or regions where caches were found in green and missing counties an / or regions in red.
Missing counties / regions will only be shown when there are some country/region/county restrictions configured in the tag, since it makes little sense to show the entire world mostly in red.

Here is one example for a checker that is using my script: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC923YE/91217

The script can be configured in a very flexible way and gives you full control whether regions and/or counties and/or caches shall be shown on the map.

This worked perfectly! Exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you!
