360-challenges
The 360-challenges (example: 360 degrees of Sweden is not handled by this checker system but by native code of the site. For those you need to contact Project-GC's support.
Note that in most cases it requires around 10000 geocaches in the area you want to create the 360-challenge for. In an ideal world, 360 geocaches would be enough, if they were perfectly evenly spread, but that is never the case.
Project-GC does not know if these will be accepted with the new guidelines, it's a matter of interpretation of the guidelines.

The written guidance given to Reviewers by Geocaching HQ (as of February 2017) is that no new 360 degree challenges can be published. This is a result of the "user defined polygon" concept.

Reviewer here. There's been no change in the guidance and new 360 degree challenges cannot be published.

So do I have to write the project-gc support, or is this kind of checker and geocache forbidden in general nowadays?

A 360 degree challenge can not be published at the moment

Is it possible to change the checker to following:
Found at least 1 geocache in all of these counties?

Here's a checker for you:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7BB33/28573

Please test and let us know.

PS: you don't appear to qualify yet?

Thank you, it works :)

PS: I know, but this was just a backup idea, because my first idea does not work

Hi,

I have the feeling that the checker is incorrect. Now I have found a geocache in every of these counties since 3 weeks, but when I try to check this challenge I got the message that 2 of all districts are still missing.

They tell me that these 2 counties aren't found yet.
List of missing counties:
Haßberge
Wunsiedel (Lkr)

I have the feeling that or whatelse is the bug. Wundsiedel is named in the database as "Wunsiedel im Fichtelgebirge (Lkr).
For Haßberge I have no clue what can be wrong.

Can you please check this and resolve the error?

best regards,
suureni

Can you test this checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7DB5W/29424 and let me know if it works

Hurray,
this checker is working :)-D

So should I include this checker instead of the another one? Because I can see another GC-Code than my geocache has?

Or do you want to change the source code of my first checker request?

best regards

I changed the GCcode so you can use this checker on your cache page
With the other script I can not exclude GC7BB33 from the output

Perfekt,

thanks for your help.
Now I can use this checker.
