Re: 500 Mile Elevation Challenge (GC8WT2G) Checker Request

[Resolved] 500 Mile Elevation Challenge (GC8WT2G) Checker Request
July 17, 2020 06:34PM
I would like a challenge Checker base on the following:

* Total cumulative elevation of caches, relative to mean sea level, exceeds the equivalent distance 500 statute miles (2,640,000 Feet).

RULES:
1. You must find and log online any number of geocaches that surpass 500 stature miles (or roughly of 536 metric miles) worth of elevation (relative to mean sea level.) based on Project GC's elevation data source.
2. You can sign the physical log any time, but to log a "Found It" online, you first need to complete the challenge.
3. To simplify logging, simply copy past the text from the “Example Log” section of the Challenge Checker.
4. All found caches qualify, no found date limitations.

vogelbird,

It looks like there may be a mistake in the unit of measurement used for the qualification data. The checker output (See below) reflects cumulative elevation of 1,305,220 METERS (not feet). Using 3.280 feet/meter, my cumulative elevation in feet would be: 4,281,122.

THE OUTPUT when I ran the checker:
"Your total elevation must surpass 2,640,000 feet"
Qualifying 1305220 / 2640000, FAILED"

Also, for clarity, could the text be amended to include unit of measure? I.e..
""Your total elevation must surpass 2,640,000 feet"
Qualifying XXXXXXX feet / 2640000 feet""

Thanks,
John S.

Sorry, I did not set the total quantity to feet.

Unfortunately the output can not be adjusted as it is a multi checker

Please test again
