Re: Elevation Checker to match Project GC elevation bands

[Resolved] Elevation Checker to match Project GC elevation bands
August 09, 2017 08:11AM
HI
I'd like a checker please to cover at least one find in each of the Project GC elevation bands. GC79A8G is the code.
All in metres.
Below 0
0-25
26-50
60-75
75-100
100-125
125-150
150-200
200-250
250-300
300-400
400-500
500-600
600-750
750-1000
1000-1250
1250-1500
1500-1750
1750-2000
2000-2500
above 2500
I am aware of the somewhat dodgy averaging method used to identify altitudes of caches and am happy with that. The checker result will be what it is. I suspect there may already be a checker that matches this but I have not yet found it.
Happy to discuss.
thanks very much
regards

Here's a checker for you:

http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC79A8G/28085

Please let us know if that's what you require.

Here is another proposal http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC79A8G/28090

Please tell us which one you are included on your listing page

If you are going to use this one please tell me exactly how you are using the elevation bands because there are some difference at the moment with your elevations

Thanks both Pieterix and vogelbird.

I would like to use the vogelbird one as it lists a cache for each level.
I do not understand the comment re "there are some difference at the moment with your elevations"

I see there are differences between the checkers at the edges of the groups with < versus <=

My intent was to list the elevations on the cache page but also refer to the fact that they match the ProjectGC elvation subgroups. I though I had listed them in this way but accept I may have done something wrong.
To me the simplest thing will be if they match as this should minimise people complaining that the checker gave a different result to the Project GC page.

If this is not now clear perhaps you could clarify what you want from me please vogelbird?

thanks again both. very much appreciated.

regards

I think he's referring to the fact that the PGC bands are:
< 0
0-24
25-49
50-74
75-99
100-124
125-149
150-199
200-249
250-299
300-399
400-499
500-599
600-749
750-999
1000-1249
1250-1499
1500-1749
1750-1999
2000-2499
2500-4999

Yes, sumbloke is correct. The elevation bands on my checker are following the PGC bands apart from " Elevation >= 2500 meter " which allow caches beyond 5000 meters

I've removed my tag.

Thanks pieterix.

I see now vogelbird and sumbloke. Yes the checker is what I want. I will adjust my cache page to match those limits.

Thank you all very much :)
