Looks great! Thanks for your help!by HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
If this sounds familiar, it is. I cancelled my original request based on your feedback and discussion with local reviewers. Then I liked my original idea so much and the container I came up with I decided to modify the challenge criteria to be in compliance with rule 9. Here is how it currently reads. *********** The Challenge To have 5 streaks of at least 30 consecutive caching days Toby HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
You can cancel this requestby HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
My reading of rule #9 is time limits on some number of finds greater than a count of 1. Since my challenge has nothing to do with find count, I think it should be fine. However, you have significantly more experience interpreting the guidelines than I do. Would you like me to check with my local reviewers?by HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I would like to request a checker for a new challenge I plan to place. Here is the description of the challenge from the cache page. The GC# is GC8H3NT The Challenge To have 5 streaks of at least 30 consecutive caching days If you have a 150 day streak, good for you, but you're not qualified for this challenge. You need a day off every 30 days for it to count. Here are my streaby HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Sorry to bother you. I see my error now.by HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I know the owner of this challenge isn't very active any more so he may not be on top of getting this fixed. Looks like it worked once but no longer. Thanks! https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4N2RV/43605by HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
OK. Mark it done then. Thanks!by HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Also I just ran it for someone who is close to qualifying, BFin. It would be great if the quad could be shown with when the account does not have a qualifying cache. The first version you did had that.by HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Sorry, I must have clicked the wrong link. The output is somewhat confusing. The eight quads that are used for the different types appear a second time in the list of the 21 Salt Lake quads with different caches. At least the two with special consideration aren't repeated. Is there any way to get the quads listed once (i.e. combine the outputs)?by HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Just found one of my original replies. It's way up the thread. Very weird.by HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

Ugh! Getting frustrated here. I'm no longer getting notifications from this thread. I have checked my spam folder, nothing. Now it's not letting me reply. I have typed the same reply twice. It's not showing up. Is it because I'm trying to include an image? I'm going to post two separate replies. This text one and then one with the image from my checker results.

Thanks! Sorry for the extra work on dealing with those two quads that don't have any caches in Salt Lake county. Just trying to be consistent in qualifications. Unfortunately it doesn't look like the final product is working. Also even though I have the notification box checked above and I received notifications earlier, they seem to have stopped.

I'm bummed to hear the map won't print. The test checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges//52936 had it and it looked like it was testing for types. It would be helpful for people figuring out what caches they needed to fill-in empty quads. Here are the names with comments on the ones that have caches within the quad but not the county.

Yes, I know what map datums are and understand the differences between them. This is exactly why I'm arguing against bactracking to NAD27. The standard that has been used to date for this challenge is the US Topo project beginning in 2009 based on this site http://www.earthsurvey.us/quads/quads.html. That data is updated regularly based on new technology. If you look at the date on the daby HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

I understand now why only two sets of coords are needed. I don't understand what you mean by the longitude being wrong. It looks fine on google earth. If I plot caches on Google Earth they are in the correct quads based on those coordinates. It really does not make sense to me why I should find the NAD27 coordinates and convert them to WGS84 when I already have WGS84. When I open the Fby HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I think the best way for me to get the coordinates is from the KLM file produced by the website linked on the cache page (http://www.earthsurvey.us/quads/quads.html) which I think already corrects the spheroid issue. For example, the Fort Douglas quad is listed as -111.875,40.875,0 -111.75,40.875,0 -111.75,40.75,0 -111.875,40.75,0 -111.875,40.875,0 To match the format described above I wouldby HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Great! Since I cannot attach files here, once the next step once I have the polygons?by HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Before I go about tracking down the polygons I want to make sure such a checker is possible. I know new challenges cannot be published with user defined areas. I own an old one https://coord.info/GC4KX1Y. If I can get the polygons, could a checker be made? Thanks!by HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Good to go. Thank you!by HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Pretty easy request. Challenge requires 100 finds on Lab Caches. Cache page is already set-up GC8H3NT. Thank you!by HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
In addition to completing all the counties in a state, there is a size requirement for this one. There is another county challenge in Oregon which already has a checker GC3EGWD and there is a county challenge in Wyoming GC6N6HC that has similar size requirements although no micros and other will have to be added. Thanks! HikingSealby HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
At this point all I can say is I think so. Everyone, including myself, who I can think of who has completed the early "hard to do" years is missing one or two recent months. The checker does show that so I think it's good. I just haven't come up with a profile to put it that shows a green checker. Thank you!by HikingSeal - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
When I attempted to clone the tag from this challenge's checker http://coord.info/GC55ABP for my own DOuble Jasmer challenge http://coord.info/GC4KZQT I was informed that my cache is not a challenge.

I can easily list in an Excel or text file the following five columns Page# minlat, maxlat,minlong, maxlong but I am not a programmer and do not know/understand the other commands (e.g. #5770 and rect).You would likely end up reworking them because I would not format them correctly.
